I agree, however you are certainly aware of how much those numbers do change over time. the April 30th number of 156k doses showed as 93k on the May 2nd report and 138k on the May 4th report. Surely they won't all go up that much, but they will go up some amount.
I'll be honest and kinda wish I had spaced out the early vaccinations a couple days only because DD had a horrific reaction to one and we ended up in the hospital. They could only narrow it down to 2 of 4 vaccines given that day in her thighs. Then when next round of vaccinations came they switched so the 2 possible wouldn't be in the same legs so they could identify which caused the problem, but she didn't have any reactions afterwards. I wonder if there has ever been a study on how many parents choose not to vaccinate or delay due to reactions they or their children have had vs general "research".
That's a great question.
As I said already, I agree the numbers are pitifully low.
Also...and this is interesting...
Me too. It’s worth it! Enjoy you health!
Thanks! You too!
Based on my understanding from the conversations here..... anyone at all hesitant to get a vaccine is basically a toothless, red-neck dum-dum who can't think his way out of a paper bag.

Oh yeah... can't forget the Karens.
Like what? A lot of the hesitancy/concern/skepticism is rooted in anti-vaccine talking points.

The decision itself is binary....you either get the vaccine or you don’t. I do find it fascinating how offended people get by the term anti-vax. I guess it’s just that it has a connotation in popular culture but in the simplest terms you either get the vaccine (pro Covid-vax) or you don’t (anti-Covid vax). The reason for not getting it is largely irrelevant to that label. I’m sure someone who is anti MMR vaccine also thinks that they have a good reason to feel that way. We still refer to them as anti-vax. I do see the distinction between not wanting any vaccine and not wanting just this vaccine. I do agree that giving someone a negative label while you are simultaneously trying to convince them the vaccine is safe And effective and they should get it is pretty counterproductive.
I see someone who is only a little hesitant as an opportunity at this point. We need as many people to get this as we can get. Someone who is politically motivated and says they will never get the vaccine no matter what is probably a lost cause but a large portion of the people who haven’t gotten the vaccine can still be reached. When the dust settles and there’s nobody left willing to get a vaccine then we can start calling the people in the “no column” various namesBased on my understanding from the conversations here..... anyone at all hesitant to get a vaccine is basically a toothless, red-neck dum-dum who can't think his way out of a paper bag.

I expected resistance. I did not think it would be this widespread. When we still have 18-20% of people saying in a poll they will never get the vaccine that’s surprising to me. I really thought that number would settle around 10% or under and maybe it still will, but it’s not looking likely. Even if it’s 20% when the dust settles, 80% would be a great number. I would be happy with 75%.
