"Vaccine Hesitancy" -- May 6, 2021

Only "Thursday" data is presented. CDC data here.

Sixth column: number of vaccinations given in past 24 hours.

Compare today's data, Thursday, May 6, 2021, with every preceding Thursday going back to March 4, 2021.

Note, it was Tuesday, April 13, 2021, when the JNJ vaccine was pulled from the market with concerns about its safety. Four days later it was determined to be safe but another six days before it was returned to the marketplace. 

After the April 13, 2021, announcement, note how fast the rate of vaccinations dropped.
