      US now delivering about 510,000 COVID vaccinations per day. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/28/960901166/how-is-the-covid-19-vaccination-campaign-going-in-your-state … Canada, with 1/8 the population, today administered 432,000 doses. https://covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtracker.html … Which is why, despite a big US head start, Canada's fully vaxxed rate will overtake US in next few days.

      The euphemistic term "vaccine hesitancy" is becoming seriously misleading. It is value-neutral, even carries a faint connotation of deliberation and thoughtfulness. But that's not what has happened with the COVID vaccines. Anti-vax feeling in the US was induced, incited.

      Had the US continued to vaccinate in the summer at the same rate as in the spring, the US would be near herd immunity by now. It took a lot of work by powerful people and institutions to prevent that outcome. It didn't just *happen.* It was *done.*

          I spoke to a patient today. Her comments were ridiculous. I asked where she got her info. She claimed she had researched. Right

          Of course she researched—she had many, many appointments with Dr. Google.

          When Rupert Murdoch dies it should be designated a national holiday.

          As someone 60 years old, I never thought anti-vaxxing would ever occur in my lifetime (not just COVID).

          Totally agree! As someone 67 years old, I’m old enough to know that polio was still a real thing when I was born (and afflicted my mother), nor had smallpox been eradicated. Vaccines, and those who created them, were revered in the environment in which I grew up.

          Yup- all the vaccine hesitant have been vaccinated by now. All that’s left are vaccine deniers

          Not completely. There are pockets where people are willing to get vaccinated. “. . this seems to be a situation where at least 30-40% or so of the rest of the population is willing to get vaccinated...IF issues of access, transportation, time off of work etc. are resolved.” SeeM
