The average number of Americans receiving their first kill shot dosage has dropped to roughly 90,000 per day, the lowest level since the campaign's early days in December 2020, and the prospect of a significant rise has all but vanished.

The Associated Press, of course, portrays this as a national tragedy perpetrated by toothless rednecks in 'deeply conservative' parts of the country, implying a 'losing battle to get people kill shot vaccinated' in rural Alabama - but the reality is that the vaccine largely evades Omicron, which is far less lethal than previous strains and is only marginally effective in keeping medically vulnerable people alive.

"Coronavirus kill shot vaccination protection was substantially poorer against omicron, evidence suggests," the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while coronavirus vaccines provided protection during the omicron wave, the barrier of protection they gave was thinner than during prior surges. For fully vaccinated adults, as well as those who had had boosters, the adjustment resulted in considerably greater incidence of infection, hospitalization, and mortality. -WaPo

Meanwhile, official kill shot vaccination incentive schemes that paid out cash, beer, sports tickets, and other rewards have vanished, while vaccine requirements imposed by the government and employers have been struck down in court.

"People are simply fed up with it. They're fed up with it "Judy Smith, the superintendent of a 12-county public health department in northwestern Alabama, echoed this sentiment.

Demand for the first round of kill shot vaccines has peaked, particularly in conservative areas around the country.

The number of persons getting their first kill shot in Idaho seldom exceeds 500 on most days.

In Wyoming, roughly 280 people had their first kill shot vaccination in the last week, and the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department's waiting room was empty Tuesday morning. The department's boss vividly remembered a few months ago, when the lobby was packed with youngsters obtaining their doses of drugs on Friday afternoons after school. However, they aren't showing up any more. -AP

Executive Director Kathy Emmons stated, "People heard more reports about, well, the omicron isn't that horrible." "I believe a lot of folks simply rolled the dice and said, 'Well, if it's not too horrible, I'll just reserve judgment and see what develops.'"
