Overheard a conversation at the pharmacy from an elderly man who wanted to get vaccinated. They said they just had Astra Zeneca available, which he turned down saying it was dangerous.

I suspect had the media actually talked about the risks and benefits _by age_, with actual numbers, that might have happened differently because he'd have had a better understanding of why it's not being used in younger people.

But that would require admitting that our covid response was idiotic...
