If vaccines and boosters don’t do much against Omicron variants right now, but might do really well against Omicron variants in a month or so, then right now is the perfect time to draw down campaigns encouraging people to get vaccinated.
People expect to get vaccinated only 2 times, 3 times, or 4 times and then be done. If the current strain of vaccine doesn’t do much, then vaccine encouragement clearly should be dialed down, even without the reputation risks that affect the reputation of vaccination in general (forever).
tl;dr people expect vaccination to work well and they expect to permanently stop getting vaccinated after a specific number of doses. So there should be more vaccination when the vaccines work more effectively, i.e. not right now.
