Vaccine question

This is a common problem in discussions on many topics. Individuals think their experiences are universal. Your sample of a few people - anyone you know - doesn’t mean your sample of people is representative of all people.

A contrasting - and equally useless for statistical purposes - observation is that almost everyone I know has gotten the most recent booster.

Our individual observations of the world around us are not always terribly good at informing us about what is actually going on in the world. We need to seek out additional information about things happening outside of our individual little slices of the world. That makes this additional information available to us for forming a more fully rounded view of the world.
