Are the boosters third, fourth, or fifth shots? When the number of people who have had 4+ is greater than the number who have had only 3, then we know how many Canadians will push back against more shots and mandates - the people with 2 or fewer.

At some point I should be able to obtain that data - presumably I'm just not looking in the right place. OWID data does indicate rapid decline in rates of vaccination in most nations that I have looked at so far - Israel's being among the fastest to decline - so presumably the drop-off between boosters is pretty steep in Canada too

The rollout in 2021 was slow and disjointed in Canada (months, instead of weeks between 1st and 2nd shot - perhaps saving lives). My birth-mom had her 2nd shot July 2021. Had her booster in Dec. and her booster-booster in May. Four shots in 12-14 months doesn't seem to compute with people as not as advertised. And she is not a stupid woman. I don't get it.
