Herd immunity takes x% of being vaccinated. He said x = 75% when he thought 50% of people would get vaccinated. He changed x to = 85% when he thought 60% of people would get vaccinated. That makes 0 sense. |

I guess I didn't realize the % of people needed to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity was based on a poll.

My wife said that the med staff at her hospital are getting shot 2 of Pfizer next week. Just want to get this thing rolling. Get healthcare workers and elderly people vaccinated by end of January. We need to get this moving faster |

He saw that more people were moving toward taking the vaccine, meaning acceptance. He knows that the more people who get vaccinated will end this faster, with fewer deaths and everything else. So, seeing the acceptance, he bumped the HI estimate up to convince even more people to get stuck. |

Well, looks like no vaccine for dentist in MO until the end of January at the earliest. They're allocating it mostly to long term care facilities and hospitals and aren't getting the shipments they thought here at the health department.
Oh well. |

The % of people required to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity is not based on the acceptance levels according to a poll. It either takes x% or it doesn't. If more people are accepting then great. But that doesn't change what it takes. Have fun squirming. I am done with you for the day. |

That kinda sucks but I kinda get it. I think think the goal of most is to start knocking down the deaths. Spread among, younger and healthier individuals is the price you pay to get the death #'s down I guess.

The vaccine rollout should have theoretically been alot smoother IMO. I'm not sure what has happened. |
