  1. yeah seriously.... you cannot find just one more person to call to get to 1000? That would drive me nuts if my pollsters came back and said "We got all the data from 999 people" I would be like..... dude.... you couldnt even just make up 1 to round that out?!?!?!

  2. To be fair... what about the GOP that suddenly flipped and said they are not taking the vaccine after trump lost the election...

    Eveyrone was gung ho for the vaccine under trumps push and now mostly GOP people not taking it or speaking out against it....

    And then the dems fell in love with it way before FDA full approval...

    The great thing about hypocrisy is that it is equally shared

    Majority of unvaccinated incorrectly believe boosters show vaccines aren't working: KFF poll
    https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...ieve-boosters-indicate-vaccines-arent-working

    A majority of unvaccinated respondents said they believed the potential need for COVID-19 boosters indicate that the vaccines aren’t working “as well as promised,” a Kaiser Family Foundation poll published Tuesday found.

    KFF’s September Vaccine Monitor determined that 71 percent of unvaccinated respondents think that additional booster shots signal that the vaccines are not working, compared to 19 percent of vaccinated people.

    A wide majority of vaccinated respondents, at 78 percent, said instead that possible need for boosters shows scientists are finding ways to make the vaccines more effective, as did 62 percent of all participants. In comparison, 22 percent of unvaccinated participants agreed with that statement.

    Studies have consistently shown the COVID-19 vaccines are very effective at preventing hospitalization and death, as unvaccinated people experience both hospitalizations and fatalities at higher rates.

    The survey was taken after the Biden administration declared boosters would be available but before the CDC officially issued its recommendations for who should get the third shot.

    At that point, a majority of fully vaccinated Americans, at 81 percent, said they will definitely or probably get a booster if it’s recommended for them. But among the vaccinated respondents, partisan divides remain with Democrats being almost twice as likely as Republicans to say they’ll “definitely” get a booster if recommended.

    KFF’s vaccine monitor documented a rise in vaccinations in the last month, reaching 72 percent who have already gotten at least one dose.

    Among those who got their first shot since June 1, 39 percent cited the delta variant, 38 percent pointed to local hospitals filling up and 36 percent said they decided to do so after someone they knew either became seriously ill or died.

    The KFF September Vaccine Monitor surveyed 1,519 adults between Sept. 13 and 22, including 379 who had not gotten any COVID-19 shot. The margin of error among the total population was 3 percentage points, among the vaccinated it was 4 percentage points and among the unvaccinated it was 6 percentage points.

    Last week, the CDC recommended for Pfizer-BioNTech recipients aged 65 and older, with underlying medical conditions and at higher risk of contracting the virus at work to get their third dose six months after their second shot.

    CDC Director Rachel Walensky strayed from the agency’s advisory panel by advising that those at higher risk of infection due to their occupation also get an additional Pfizer dose.

    The agency approved immunocompromised people to get third shots of Pfizer or Moderna last month.

    not fair to bothsides the skepticism given Trump's push to get vax approval no matter what. He'd appointed Dr. Oz as head of the FDA if it meant rushing approval.

    Current percentage of Americans that aren't fully vaccinated is shockingly high given how much time has passed since the vaccines were available in the US. It was quite a while ago that resident dumbass "TreeFrogTrader" and ironically a few Covid Deniers were mocking Canada for our slow rollout on vaccines. We are now well ahead of the US in that rollout, have been since July when we opened up most of the facilities again. And lo and behold out Covid numbers are a fraction of US numbers even more so then in 2020.

    Sadly even Brazil, the "no lockdown paradise", is now ahead of the U.S. in vaccinations.

    Why Brazil Beat the U.S. in COVID Vaccination
    Despite rampant misinformation and an anti-vax president, Brazil found a way
    https://www.thedailybeast.com/brazil-ignored-jair-bolsonaro-to-beat-the-us-in-covid-19-vaccination

    "The vaccination rate has ramped up considerably in Brazil and stalled in the U.S. According to data compiled by The New York Times, as of Oct. 14, about 73 percent of Brazilians have received at least one dose — compared with just 66 percent in the U.S. The U.S. still comes out on top in terms of its fully vaccinated population, with 57 percent versus 47 percent in Brazil. But this gap between Brazil’s fully and partially vaccinated seems poised to close: A July survey showed that 94 percent of Brazilians plan to get the coronavirus vaccine."
