Dr Fudge 8,674 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Our biggest enemy is us, but we don’t pop a vaccine. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 50,111 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The vaccine messaging campaign has been really poor. A lot of low information communities (not necessarily in the Republican use of ‘low information’) are not receiving the outreach they need to dispel years of entrenched beliefs #GetVaccinated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rj Barker 3,331 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 What a mess. Misinformation in the US is rife! I was concerned it'd be the same here in the UK, but the level of uptake is surpassing everyone's estimates. Looks like we will land in the 90% area. When over 50's were offered there jabs it hit 96% uptake which is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minority populations have been subjected to inhumane medical treatments throughout history, so its natural to have that fear again. This government has not done a good job at dispelling such rightful doubts. 7 minutes ago, Mister G said: I know right? I got vaccinated in April. It’s been over 2 months and nothing has happened thankfully. I got my final dose last week. Still waiting for my arm to become magnetic You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

JohnWayne92 2,359 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 People are ridiculous. At the end of the day, no one wants to do their own research. My roommates literally listen to what Facebook says. They didn’t exactly follow any of the CDC guidelines either tho, besides wearing a mask. Always had someone over the house, or going over someone’s house. They just don’t want to because they don’t trust it…yet when I ask if they have done any research, they say no, they are waiting to hear what happens? Stupidity.

Doesn’t have to be your parent. If you don’t look under 12, I heard some places don’t even ask anything if you show up by yourself. I would try going to 1-2 places by yourself if I were you, worst case you get rejected. If you have an adult friend or relative they could come with you too.

MonsterPaws 2,745 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I hope the CDC relaxing mask use for vaccinated individuals will get people to get vaccinated. Plus I've seen a lot of ads encouraging people to get vaccinated so maybe that will keep reminding people. I don't know who's left but at least by the Fall most young people in college will have to get vaccinated (a lot of private schools are requiring it). But July 4th might be too optimistic at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djparky 267 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Here in the UK we've had 80% plus with one vaccine and just over 60% with both and still we live with these awful masks and social distancing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its for percentage for 1 shot but i found it the more relevant number in the context of people willing to get it But it was going up quickly up until about 72% like 1% a day then suddenly started stalling. Now 1st shots are rising like 0.2% a day I was hoping wed reach at least 80% to 85% but that past group of ppl is gonna be tough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
