Our calculations show that full hospitals have only lead to a slight increase in the number of people getting vaccinated

Some optimists had hoped that the spread of the Delta variant, though regrettable, might eventually persuade the naysayers to get vaccinated. Local news sites and stations have profiled people who had been sceptical and have now had their jabs. The Douglases in South Central Pennsylvania were vaccine-hesitant until “the Delta variant changed that”. The Columbuswrote about a supervisor at a local plant who said: “The Delta variant was what really got me out.

One way of measuring whether people are more likely to get vaccinated when their neighbours are very ill with covid-19, is to compare county-leveldid this while controlling for potentially confounding variables, like state-level vaccination rates. Our calculations show that full hospitals lead to only a slight increase in the number of people getting vaccinated. For every 10% decrease in availablebeds, there were roughly 14 additional first doses administered per 100,000 people in a county the next week. For a median-sized American county with a population of 26,000, that translates to 3.5 additional first doses, or just half a dose per day.

Polls paint the same picture. As many Americans have scrambled for futile cures like ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, interest in the most effective solution—the vaccine—is stuck. Polling from Morning Consult shows that the share of individuals who say they are unwilling to get the vaccine, or are uncertain if they will, has fallen only slightly—from 31% at the end of May to 28% on August 30th.

The remaining Americans who have not had their jabs are not just hesitant but rather hardened—committed to shunning the vaccine despite its availability, safety and efficacy. If the Delta variant, and the wards full of patients suffering from it in local hospitals, cannot change their minds, then it is hard to see what will.

I know of NO one suffering from this. Nice timesstamp

Maybe only offering palliative care in a separately managed covid center instead of in a hospital or ICU bed might start to get the attention of the unvaccinated.

Everyone has a freedom of choice. Freedom of death.

Those who suffer from others cannot get care. The health workers lie against us no matter what the issue. The U.S. presidents are Revelations 'eagle' & gotta get in the wilderness for illegally causing prophecy. It's not going okay at all. Delta? Airplanes

'My body, my choice'. Right ?

Que se vacunen todes 🐑🐑🐑💉🧬🧟‍♀️ target2030

Their minds are made up. I just don’t get them running to ER’s for health care. If they are standing in concrete on no vax or mask then stand in concrete on no health care either.

Are they Christian Americans or Muslim Americans or Pagan Americans?

Exactly!

The decline of empires comes from arrogance.

They are already well prepared for zombie apocalypse, please fast forward.

😬a trusted vaccine would help

The best choice I've made this year was investing in cryptocurrency and forex trading and earning from home. With the help of TonishKevin I've been earning R25k weekly I've never regretted this decision. 🙏

As the lines of skeptics are being gradually reduced -- by choice or by chance.

Yes but it correlates quite closely to the number of deaths.

Pssst....its a socio-economic issue.

where I live nobody is vaccinated and barely anybody is getting sick... You know why? out here in oklahoma we aren't stupid enough to live somewhere so packed full of cigarette tottin, burger munchers that there aren't enough hospitals to address situations like this.

thanks

#IWillNotComply trends on Twitter after Joe Biden orders vaccine mandatePresident Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate was met with anger by some who promised they would not take the vaccine while using the IWillNotComply hashtag. It's cool they think they are immune. Oh, wait: they don't? I'd say 'have fun enjoying your COVID!' but I can't laugh about the harm they will cause vulnerable otherss -- family, friends, coworkers (i.e., other healthcare providers) ProLifeJoe Washington implemented mandates against smallpox: SCOTUS decided on vaccine mandates over a century ago: Multiple vaccines have long been required for school and various forms of employment.

Corporate America reacts to Biden's vaccination mandate'We have tools to combat the virus ... if we can come together as a country to use those tools,' Biden said. Should have never came to this. We are no longer the world leaders of yesterday as we are now acting like rich spoiled children. 'You can't me do that'! Tired of death cult republicans. Bring on the mandates. Well I personally can't wait for the day I get the first jab and watch nothing get better over time.

Why Corporate America is quite content with Biden's vaccine policy.MaddowBlog: Republicans believe President Biden's vaccine policy is 'an assault on private businesses.' Corporate America apparently doesn't see it that way. MaddowBlog The GQP will grab at anything like a child who changes his nonsensical story over and over, without turn signals, to avoid his comeuppance. MaddowBlog They are so desperate.. that they will use this as talking points! Whatever ! MaddowBlog Pretty soon the business will just fire people for calling in claiming to be exposed. If you don't try to at least protect yourself why should your place of work care?

Watch: Biden's full announcement on new vaccine requirements for federal workers, large employers, healthcare providersWATCH: President Biden's full announcement on new vaccine requirements for federal workers, large employers, and healthcare providers. But not for the politicians!!!! Why? Threating people will only incite frustration - if it’s NOT an actual “vaccine” don’t call it one -- if it is, but you have to still avoid the virus - and fear anyone unvaccinated- it sends a confusing message. And honestly things have been chaotic enough. I work for a pharmaceutical company, primarily MAbs and vaccines. Nearly everyone was vaccinated on their own accord. The group not vaccinated as well as the rest of the site is the construction & maintenance workers who don't have a background in the science.
