Pretty sure this is incorrect. I read just this morning that we were more like 52% vaccinated

- s1artibartfast 5y agoSee for yourself: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-total-admin-rate-total https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-... 52% includes people ineligible for the vaccine, like infants and those <12. It also excludes those with at least 1 shot. It gets the most press because it stokes the Vax vs Anti-Vax conflict narrative and gets more outrage clicks
- bdcravens 5y agoYes but Denmark's number include those with both shots. > More than 80% of people above the age of 12 in the Scandinavian country have had the two shots
- s1artibartfast 5y agoTo be clear, Im not saying the US has higher vaccination rates than denmark, just that 80% in the US isn't outlandish or that far off.
- bdcravens 5y agoI hope that you are right, but I fear we're in the long tail at this point
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThe CDC also has numbers on that: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-trends https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccination-trends I wouldnt fear too much about the last 25% of vaccinations. Keep in mind that post infection immunity is also quite good and the CDC estimates that 30+% of the population has been infected at this point.
- peakaboo 5y agoThe US has more than 300 million people and quite different cultures in the different states. Then Scandinavian countries have like 5-10 million people and have no difference in culture (besides lots of immigration). So when the government says something, most people have very similar ideas about it. The differences between people are not very big. It's not like a cowboy from Texas talking to a MIT graduate. 80% for USA would be like 80% for western Europe or similar.
