As of December, 95% of US adults aged over 65 had gotten at least one vaccine dose and 87% two doses [1] which is considered "fully vaccinated" at this point. Seems like the group it affects most is taking the pandemic really seriously.
One thing that surprises me is how much I hear about 'anti-vax' rhetoric, however, when push comes to shove, the people with the highest risk are exceedingly receptive to the vaccine. Maybe the 'anti-vaxers' are just a very loud minority after all.

Was just making a slight observation ...the high vaccination rate on the 65+ cohort gives me assurance that the majority of people take the pandemic seriously and do their best to help stop the spread
