Oso planning to go pro
Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I think vaccine surveys are overestimating vaccine hesitancy. I think people who are private and more conservative by nature, are conditioned not to tell a stranger from Gallup a piece of medical information, so their default is a no, or not right now. A bit like the Trump effect in polling back in 2016...but this is just a hunch, but I remain hopeful that as more and more people get it, it will have some carryover effect of neighbors, friends, family, church members, seeing people they care and trust get it, and in turn they will get it too. I remind myself, the vaccine has really been available to the public for 3-4 months, give people a bit more time, and continue to work on those who are hesitant, not the hardcore 10-15% who are nutso wackaloon about it.
And not even the full public that long. WI opened up full eligibility the last week of March. That's a month. And WI is doing very well in terms of % of the population vaxxed.
EDIT: And I have noticed that people are just done. At least here, no one is enforcing local mask mandates or distancing requirements. For better or worse, this is the course we are on.
35 hours after Pfizer shot #2 and limited arm soreness. That's it hopefully (knock on wood).
JNJ shots ready to roll again, thank goodness.
Two thirds of CT residents over 16 have received the first shot. The next frontier is work and university where people want to go back and companies/schools are bringing the vaccine there. Now that the supply is unlimited it’s another peer pressure oppty to convince people. I think the polls and attempt to sort people will prove to be hyperbole/overstated. We all need to get back to reality vs what digital world portrays.
Saw a survey today where 43% of republicans say they will never get the vaccine. There is a reason why we (liberals) think republicans are stupid. They keep showing us that they are.
The definition of ‘republican’ is always narrower than you think and inspired to spark exasperation. 90%+ of CT over 65 is vaccinated and a lot of republicans (both registered and independent) are in that number. We need to improve access and education/peer pressure and not sort people.
I received my 2nd dose this morning and the place was a ghost town. Day of my first shot over 1500 registered and today under 700. I think the % that skip the second dose is going to be much higher than current reports. I know everyone has had different experiences with side affects, but how long after the shot will I be in the clear?

Putting the duh in Flori-duh.Florida private school won’t allow teachers, staff to get COVID-19 vaccinehttps://www.clickorlando.com/news/2021/04/27/florida-private-school-wont-allow-teachers-staff-to-get-covid-19-vaccine/A private school in Miami is warning its staff against getting a COVID-19 vaccine.Centner Academy said its school policy, to the extent possible, not to employ anyone who has gotten a coronavirus vaccine until further information is known.“This is a private school. It’s not a public school. So, generally, a private employer in Florida can fire someone for any reason or no reason at all,” said Carter Sox, an employment lawyer.
Where are the right-wingers to complain about this school intruding on people's freedom?
