Waiting to Turn a Corner on Covid-19

 I've said before that it wouldn't surprise me if covid case rates spiked upward after a couple of months of vaccinations because of the increased reckless behavior exhibited by large numbers of people, among other reasons.

It may take many months for the full benefit of vaccination programs to begin to appear (and that assumes the efficacy rate is anywhere near what's been touted). People need to remain vigilant and patient... and not be swayed by denialists' focus on every case of infection following vaccination.
