The fear was wearing off, which may explain the omicron panic narrative:
"The number of people who are very concerned about a family member becoming seriously ill
from the virus (30%) is the same as it was in July (30%), when cases were at a low ebb. This level of
concern rose to 45% in September as the delta variant spread. Just under half are concerned – 14% very
and 32% somewhat – about them personally catching one of the new Covid variants. These results are
similar to the July poll (the question was not asked in September). Concern about catching a new variant
is somewhat higher among those who have already received a booster shot (66%) than among those who
are vaccinated without a booster (51%) – with the caveat that the booster cohort is older than the nonbooster vaccine group. However, both of these vaccinated groups are much more concerned about
infection from a new variant than those who have not been vaccinated at all (12%)."
