I was watching RBB news this morning (that's the public TV network out of Berlin), and they brought up this odd topic.
It involves Covid-19, the vaccination business, and the lack of 'consumers'.
So, RBB had acquired a paper dated from Monday (the 26th) and where the city admitted that ONLY three-quarters of the over-80-crowd (city residents of Berlin) had been vaccinated.
Yes....roughly 120 days into the vaccination period, and they still hadn't gotten all of them done.
For the 70 to 79 year old crowd? 29 percent.
Offers or invitations to get the vaccination? 1.9-million of these have gone out....with roughly 40-percent NOT responding.
Reaching herd-immunity in Berlin? Well, they had the goal of 70-percent being this point of immunization. If they marginally reach 60-percent? No one says much, but I would imagine that they'd claim herd-immunity anyway.
But this brings up the question....is the 'brand' of vaccination or immunization not working now?
My suspicion is that people aren't that thrilled about the mega-shot-centers, and they'd rather just wait, and get it via their local doctor/clinic. It wouldn't surprise me if 20-percent of society felt this way.
The odds of this getting to a politically charged-up issue? This goal....herd-immunity.....has gotten a ton of mentions over the past six months. I think if you asked any CDU or SPD politician.....they'd readily admit that it's a 'must-accomplish' thing.
