I'm not sure people are just following the crowd for the vaccine, though I could see them following the crowd to avoid the risk of being excluded to go into a bar or a concert.
I'm still dumbfounded daily by the people who still don't understand what a vaccine does or does not do and what it does and does not have to do with infection and spread.
The political polarization has gotten so bad there are people who are afraid to suggest mask wearing because it might increase vaccine hesitancy (which, some say, was the original reason the CDC pulled back on mask mandate suggestions months ago). Same with factual information about how the vaccinated can still get COVID from each other and spread it, just to a reduced degree. So what we have are people telling white lies and fat lies to manipulate behavior rather than being straight with people.
