I think it should but I guess there is still many people who do not.

That is also the point. Some feel that the vaccine must be useless if the Gov does not have enough confidence in it that they still want everyone to continue to wear the masks. After all, the idea of a vaccination is to give one immunity. Whether I believe or not is not the point. The point is how do you convince others to get the booster if they are hesitant already to get the first two shots, see the side effects that may have to be endured, and then told to continue to wear the masks. Masks that they had already worn for a year. Masks that supposedly prevented them from becoming infected. Masks that must be continued, even after being inoculated. You can use all kinds of reasoning, but if that reasoning is like a dog that don't hunt, then it won't be accepted. Inoculations have already become fewer with the new ages allowed now. The younger generation is saying "why bother when we can get over it as easy as a cold." My daughter had Covid and now tells me that she is not going to get the shots. Same with other young folks I have talked to. I know that at least half of my family that have already survived Covid are refusing the vaccination. And believe me, I have been attempting to convince them to get it. But, I can understand their reasoning.
