FILE - In this March 19, 2021, file photo, nurses fill syringes with a COVID-19 vaccine at a mass vaccination site in Kansas City, Mo.
“It is kind of stalling. Some people just don’t want it,” said Stacey Hileman, a nurse with the health department in rural Kansas’ Decatur County, where less than a third of the county’s 2,900 residents have received at least one vaccine dose. In Mississippi, small-town pharmacist Robin Jackson has been practically begging anyone in the community to show up and get shots after she received her first shipment of vaccine earlier this month and demand was weak, despite placing yard signs outside her storefront celebrating the shipment’s arrival. She was wasting more vaccine than she was giving out and started coaxing family members into the pharmacy for shots.
“All of the strong Christians that I associate with are against it,” she said. “Fear is what drives people to get the vaccine — plain and simple. The stronger someone’s trust is in the Lord, the least likely they are to want the vaccine or feel that it’s necessary.” “If you’re in New York City, and you’re sending a package to one of the large pharmacies in downtown Manhattan, there are literally millions and millions of people within walking distance most likely of that particular pharmacy,” Reeves said. “Well, if you’re in rural Itta Bena, Mississippi, that’s just not the case.”
Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, said now that everyone qualifies to get vaccinated, public health officials are encountering three groups: “not able,” “not now” and “not ever.”
The herd is too stupid to achieve herd immunity.
I’m gonna wait 4-6 years to wait to see all the long term side effects everyone else has with the experimental vaccine.
I’m fed up with these people. It’s a free country but there should be consequences for their choices. How about Doctors & Nurses going on strike refusing care for those who refuse vaccination but suffering symptoms of Covid? The politicians won’t do it. We must act.
Herd immunity won’t happen until enough people die off from the virus...
You could send the extra doses to Thailand (Still waiting for a vaccine to become available.)
USAmbKenya aki si mtuchotee hizi vaccines. Please.🙏
I don't remember the reason but doctors and nurses did go on strike in the 1960s. If you want Republicans to speak the truth then shut down air traffic railroad and doctors and nurses take a few days off.. nope sorry not 1 plane takes off or lands in a republican controlled State
The 3rd World eu needs CovidVaccine - could help vonderleyen and the EU_Commission to vaccinate their citizens considering the appalling job they have done. 😉 COVID19 Covid Europe
Send them up here!🇨🇦
People starting to wake up
In other words, covid 19 will never go away in some towns or suburban areas
Should have closed flights weeks ago . Too dangerous to let people back in . The NHS doesn't need this pressure of hundreds possibly Ill with another strain .
