to be fair,
- another person can sign them up for the vax and enter their data online for them
- another person can drive them to a vax site without signing an affidavit and be fearful of some legalese BS scaring them
- getting vax curbside or in their car is an option. For nursing home olds, the vax was brought to them and they were able to partake in their rooms without leaving their home.
- can freely accept a cold water while waiting
No idea how this JnJ deal is going to play out. Focus on the other two full steam ahead. Open up the 12-15 yo with Pfizer (if the data looks good) and go from there. Then once the dust settles and and we are sitting on a glut of vax in every mega site, pharmacy, supermarket and Microsoft store see what the death rate is. At that point i am guessing it's going to approach zero for every man, women and tween that wanted to get vaxed.
Should also start getting some more data on how the death rate/severe hospitalization is vs the variants, but let's not panic the world in the mean time.
