If the UK’s vaccine rollout stays on track, I should hopefully be offered my first shot by the end of July. As I’ve already mentioned, I’m a bit perplexed as to how so many young Americans on Atlas have already got the vaccine; in fact, considering that the US’s percentage vaccinated is lower than the UK’s, it leaves me a bit worried that older Americans are missing out.
A ton of older Americans are skeptical of the vaccine and refusing to make appointments. Particularly Trump voters and people in poor African American areas who are rightfully weary of the medical community from years of bias in the field. They can only give the vaccine to people who want to get appointments.
Aren't American health autorities calling old people instead and telling them stuff like "hey there is an appointment free for next week, do you want it?"
Depends on the state. This is on a state-by-state basis. Some states like Florida have pants-on-their-head morons for governors, and left the whole vaccine rollout to a grocery store chain whose owner happens to be a donor of his.
To be fair you can't walk two steps in Florida without accidentally entering a Publix
Poll
