gollark: But that seems inaccurate because politicians also probably look good/bad if they do well/badly against COVID-19 regardless.
gollark: If you were somewhat more cynical than me I guess you could think something like: updated vaccines aren't part of mainstream political discourse yet, they are unlikely to be unless there is deployment/development of them, and so politicians (who are optimizing for looking good according to said political discourse) don't care and don't do anything about the situation.
gollark: I said three things. Maybe I should retroactively use semicolons.
gollark: So I guess either the entire system is missing obvious low-hanging fruit, the possible benefits of updated vaccines are known but not enough to make people actually budge, or the decision-making people think that updated vaccines wouldn't be significantly better.
gollark: Anyway, presumably if any government did ask for it they'd start supplying it.
