8.4% of Floridians will likely or definitely decline vaccination

Once again, Vermont is the winner with 67% of its population fully vaccinated.
Florida crawls up to 51% despite the ICU horror stories.
Alabama, once again, gets last place at 36%.

Nationwide, 16,300,000 people, 6.5% of the adult population, do not trust the COVID-19 vaccines, and another 6,980,000, or 2.8%, do not think COVID-19 is a big threat. Additionally, 13,800,000 American adults, or 5.5% of the 18 and older population, have not been vaccinated because they do not trust the government.

Lying and propaganda works by Fox News and its lying "entertainers", the Russians, and other bad actors.

1. So you are saying 91% would agree to get fully vaxxed? That would probably be herd immunity

[steve2470]

2. maybe ?

Let me look at the story again....

3. If 91.6% of Floridians do agree to full vaccination, that would be great....

Florida
> Adults who will likely or definitely decline vaccination: 1,439,793 (8.4% of total)

> Residents who are fully vaccinated: 10,891,932 (51.1% of population)

|> Confirmed cases of COVID-19 to date: 13,772 per 100,000 people (total: 2,933,429)

> COVID-19-related fatalities to date: 193 per 100,000 people (total: 41,123)

91.6% of a population is herd immunity, according to what I have read.

4. That would indicate that the "hesitators" would be open to getting one if.... (something)

Some are just going to keep coming up with a new excuse (like once it's approved next week).

But some might be reachable if getting a vax is easy and required in some way-- like they can't go back to work unless they get a shot, and here in the company lobby is a vaccination station every morning for a month.

I saw one mom who said her grown daughter refused to get a vax, saying "I'm not sure", until she tried to get a ticket for a Harry Styles concert, and was told she would have to show proof of vaccination to get in. That did it! Go, Harry Styles!

5. Getting COVID is expensive, the shot is free!

6. Many of the anti-vaxxers don't care what it costs.

A lot of them are the same people who were against the Affordable Care Act because, "I don't need no insurance." They will just have family members set up go fund me Pages for them and stiff the medical professionals with the rest of the bill. Totally irrational thinking.

Even though the government feels that once the FDA approves it, most of the people will be willing to be vaccinated. They will just come up with a new excuse.
