Iraqâs vaccine rollout had been faltering for weeks. Apathy, fear and rumors kept many from getting vaccinated despite a serious surge in coronavirus infections and calls by the government for people to register for shots. It took al-Sadrâs public endorsement of vaccinations â and images of him getting the shot â to turn things around. (AP Photo/Hadi Mizban)
