Summary
Covid cases are surging across the U.S. post-holidays, with rising test positivity, hospitalizations, and deaths, while booster uptake remains low.
Only 21.4% of adults and 10.3% of children have received the latest booster, leaving vulnerable groups, including the elderly, at higher risk.
Experts warn of continued dangers from Covid, including long Covid and economic impacts, as the virus has not yet reached an endemic state.
With uncertain federal priorities, researchers stress the importance of monitoring infections, updating vaccines, and using preventive measures to mitigate future waves.
How is it not endemic yet? Oh wait the pharma companies aren’t done making money off it yet.
Flu is endemic yet millions get a flu shot every year. I’d rather the booster than the brain fog++, thanks.

Good for you?
Sounds like you don’t understand what they are or how they work
That’s wrong.
When will people learn that you don’t only vaccinate for yourself. You vaccinate to lessen spread so people who are too ill or immunocompromised to get vaccinated aren’t completely fucked.
Never.
It is culturally incompatible with the dominant ideology here (US).
You’re fucking up the health of the people around you, not just risking your own. You need your flu shots. If you seriously look into them, you will walk away thinking that they’re a fantastic thing, and you’ll get them.
