"Vaccine Hesitancy" -- Saturday, May 8, 2021

CDC data here.

Vaccine hesitancy:

• today's (Saturday) data: 2,567,872 vaccinations given
• last Saturday: 3,303,794 vaccinations give
• Saturday prior to that (April 24, 2021): 3,318,230

On Saturday, April 10, 2021, a record 4,620,928 vaccinations were recorded for Saturday. 

The following Saturday, April 17, 2021, the number of vaccinations dropped to 3,589,620.

The previous Tuesday, April 13, 2021, Dr Fauci, et al, took the JNJ vaccine off the market, concerned about its safety. Four days later it was considered safe to return to the market. But by then, the damage had been done. Vaccinations dropped from a record (for a Saturday) 4.6 million to less than 3.6 million the following Saturday. 

Reminder: it is now recommended that everyone over the age of 16 years of age be vaccinated; only high risk groups and older folks were getting the vaccine on April 10, 2021.
