    Default Biden will vaccinate every American by May. God Bless President Biden.

    The release of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine and its partnership with Merck means that President Joe Biden expects the US to have enough Covid-19 vaccines delivered to cover every adult by the end of May.
    If Johnson & Johnson and fellow vaccine makers Moderna and Pfizer meet their vaccine pledges, the bigger question we may soon be facing isn't whether we have enough doses of Covid-19 vaccines, but whether people will actually take them.
    Recent polling suggests a continued drop in the vaccine hesitant population as more and more people get vaccinated in the US.
    The past two weeks alone, there were two polls that show just how much vaccine hesitancy has declined. The Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 55% of adults say they now want a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as possible or have already received their first dose. That's up from 47% in January and 34% in December.
    While the percentage of hardline "get it only if required" or "definitely not" has remained fairly consistent at or just north of 20%, the hesitant population of "wait and see how it's working" has dropped by nearly half during the last two months from 39% to 22%.
    Axios/Ipsos polling shows a similar trendline. A mere 13% of adults said in September they would get a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as it was made available to them. That jumped to 27% in early December to 43% in early January. Now, 57% say they have already received the vaccine or will get it as soon as possible.
    Like in the Kaiser polling, the hardline vaccine resistant population (i.e. people who say they will not get the vaccine or will only get it if forced) is basically the same size now (18%) as it was in September (23%) and early January (19%).
    More people who say they will wait a period of time (a few weeks to a year or more) to get the vaccine has decreased rapidly: 64% in September, 51% in early December, 38% in early January and 28% now.
    Unfortunately, it will be hard to convince the vaccine resistant population. The fact that this proportion of the population has remained fairly constant (at around 20%) is an indication that even a load of evidence that the vaccines are safe and effective and is our most likely path back to a normally functioning society won't shift them.
    The good news is that the declining percentage of those in the middle (i.e. the vaccine hesitant) is what we would expect as more and more people are safely vaccinated. Even before the FDA approved the vaccines, I pointed out that a big driver of vaccine hesitancy was that people wanted to know the vaccine was safe and effective.
    It's still the case that willingness to get the vaccine is correlated with vaccine knowledge and knowing people who have gotten the vaccine.
    To reach herd immunity through vaccination, scientists believe somewhere between 70% and 90% of the population will need a vaccination. We will only reach that percentage if more people in the vaccine hesitant population become convinced to take the vaccine as soon as it is made available to them.
    That's why the next few months will be key. Given Johnson & Johnson's one shot regimen and Pfizer and Moderna's two-shot regimen, we are still a few months away from there being enough vaccines for everybody.
    If the current vaccine delivery timeframes hold and the lionshare of vaccine hesitant people convert into those who will get the vaccine immediately, we could have enough vaccines for every adult who wants one even earlier than the end of May -- and we'll have a much better chance of containing the coronavirus.

    Without Trump's warp speed initiative this would not be happening. Senile Joe did nothing on it. Trump gets the credit. Stop trying to pump up your old senile pervert who did not win the election but was declared president by the media and deep state traitors.

    He must be one helluva man. For one old man to go around and personally vaccinate hundreds of millions of people himself is REALLY quite the feat. Talk about Superman!

    I had a handsome National Guardsman give me mine.

    President Biden's goal shouldn't be hard to accomplish, given that so many of the Reichwing morons are going to refuse the vaccine. Well, at least that's what they *say.* Betcha they get it quietly. lol

    Yeah, I hope the radical right wing extremists on this forum practice what they preach and DON'T get vaccinated and don't wear masks and attend large Gatherings. It'll be a good exercise in Darwinism.

    The least devolved ones will quietly accept their vaccinations and hope that it works for mutants.
    The anti-vaccers, on the other hand, will pass on their appointments in favor of a quick game at their Russian roulette clubs.

    Here's a funny observation about the Cultists. Our massage lady is a prepper. She's actually written several novels in the dystopian, end-of-the-world genre; her characters are preppers too. Various disasters befall her characters -- massive EMPs, eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano, incredible earthquakes, etc. Yet she thinks that the pandemic statistics are inflated and has no interest in the vax.

    I treated Mr. Owl to a massage last week. On the way home he commented about how ironic it was that she has made her living writing books about preppers and how to survive such things. Yet when one really happens in her lifetime, she refuses to believe that it's real.

    People are puzzling beings.

    The Trump supporters who I know that haven't swallowed the right wing bullshit like The Big Lie or Antifa/BLM caused the Capitol riot or the Coronavirus is a hoax, they seem to be the Trump supporters who are getting the vaccine while the real radical Trump supporters who believe the Radical right wing propaganda and conspiracy theories, they are there ones not getting vaccinated. And I'm fine with that.

    I wish someone would ask Margorie Q Taylor, Ted Cruise, Josh HeeHaw and the other radical right-wing extremists in Congress if they plan to get vaccinated. I hope they don't.

    That's odd. There's no telling how people will react to this virus. Some are overly cautious to the point of being obsessively fearful of leaving their home. Others think they're invulnerable or that the government is evil and being run by the Deep State (enter laughtrack here).

    There are extremists for every occasion.

    Do people really believe that? Pharm was watching people die and did not do anything about vaccines. They had a guaranteed super huge demand that would make zillions in profits, but they were waiting for Warp.

    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
