It seems that throughout this pandemic, the messaging has been, it depends. But wear a mask. Definitely get vaccinated. Now, go and get boosted. If you just get your kids vaccinated, we'll be able to put this behind us. But we haven't yet put this behind us.

Why haven't we gotten a handle on this thing?
