New York Times article: Reaching herd immunity in the USA against Covid-19 unlikely to happen
I was feeling this in my bones with the rate of vaccination declining and the growing opposition against vaccination, not to mention the rising number of variations.
Personally, I have no problem with getting an annual Covid vaccination, I can accept that. I really hate the possibility of always having a mask around my neck and pulling it up every time I go on the floor and into the stacks. Plus, one of my student workers won't get vaccinated, she "has convictions". I wonder if she has convictions against polio and tetanus, or if she's in favor of them. At least she'll complete her education at some point and leave.

Yep. We're going to have verbal-only and closed door meetings meetings to see about getting rid of her. The only thing she brings to the library is enthusiasm: she doesn't have any great skills that are actually of value to the operation. She can handle checking books in and out, and is good for disinfecting the private meeting rooms and other surfaces. And since the chance of fomite transmission is all but zero, that's nothing but makework.
