US vaccination rate rises to 700k / day

[ThisGuyTony 34,835]

“The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 816,203 doses were administered Saturday, the fifth straight day the agency recorded more than 700,000 shots in arms. That brings the total number of doses administered to 346,456,669, according to CDC numbers released Sunday. 

The 7-day average of administered doses is now 662,529 per day, the highest average since July 7.

Per CDC data released Sunday, 168.4 million people are fully vaccinated, or 49.6% of the US population. Among vaccine-eligible Americans -- meaning those who are 12 and older -- 58.1% are fully vaccinated.”

Damn. That’s kinda on par with the uptake in some Eastern European countries. Do that many people in the US really not want the vaccine? Or was there just a lag in supply over the past few months?

There's been no lag in supply, we've had surplus of vaccines ready, people just aren't taking them.

The vaccine is a political issue in America, and political identity is prominent here. Sad.

They don’t want it.

That's so disappointing  I'm scared these antivaxxers are going to ruin it for us all.

Ironic how they’re the primary group getting very sick from the Delta variant and even more disturbing when those who somehow recover refuse to get vaccinated afterwards.

Me practicing my idea for vaccinating all the idiot white men at CPAC. Half the unvaccinated problem solved.

that sounds racist

[flyaway 15,350]

Tbh, this should continue without the antivaxxers. If they don't wanna get vaccinated, then it's under their own risk. Covid is going nowhere. I think vaccination each year will become the norm for now. 

I feel for those who can't get vaccinated because they're the ones who will have it hard without it being their fault. 

Why is humanity so stupid?

Black people and women are actually the ones most likely to refuse a vaccine in the US though

I said half the problem solved not the ENTIRE problem and I said it as a joke. What kind of white pride loving place is GGD turning into?

Also, I don't actually own a blow dart gun just incase people take that seriously too. WTF.

Also your percentages about blacks may be right but those are numbers given by white people who like to pass the blame. A higher percent of only 14% of the population isn't not greater than a lower percentage of 62% of the population.

So 88% of 14% of the total US population is actually lower than 40% of 62% of the US population. If you really really really want to get technical. 

32.5 million unvaccinated black people.

78.4 million unvaccinated whites. 

Based on a 326 million current US population. 196 million non hispanic whites and 37 million blacks. 

There is more unvaccinated white men than the total number of unvaccinated black people in the US.

as someone from Alabama, US I can say unfortunately yes. In the US, COVID-19 is political (thanks to that asshole Donald Trump **** him). Republicans are even saying the CDC is now political due to wanting people to wear masks (you can't make this **** up)
