Is it lack of vaccine availability? I think in the US basically everyone who plans to get it has gotten it. The rural county I grew up in only has something like a third vaccinated, sadly.

It is lack of vaccine availability, due to a combination of bad luck and federal government incompetence. We invested everything in Astra Zeneca and a locally produced mRNA vaccine. Unfortunately the locally developed vaccine, while highly effective, had the unfortunate side effect of making recipients test positive to HIV (I'm not making this up). And media coverage of clotting issues with AZ has left boomers demanding they get Pfizer instead (hitherto restricted to under-50s).
