Full vaccination rates: Florida 65.9%, Connecticut 79.1% and West Virginia dead last at 48%

Reaction: I am pleasantly surprised FL is at 65.9%. Hopefully our fellow citizens can wise up and get the overall rate to herd immunity sooner rather than later (70 or 75%, forget the precise figure).

Good job, CT. You surpassed VT at 78.8%.

Alabama must be relieved, that WV is dead last now. Come on people, get vaccinated totally !

ETA: I copied the chart, so this will be small, sorry ! Notice that the chart is ordered for the "only one shot" population. The chart is very much out of order if you are looking at the "fully vaccinated" percentages. I have no idea why this chart is out of sync with data you all have. It comes from the CDC (bottom of third chart image).

But my county is dreadful. I don't think we've even cracked the 50% mark. A toxic combination of Trumpies and woo-woo anti-vaxxers.

We are seriously considering moving because that will never get better.

Fingers crossed people keep getting vaccinated and everyone gets their second dose.

From what I have read herd immunity "is unlikely to happen" (quote from NY Times article July 21). I wish it were otherwise. If we are lucky, it will become a mild infection that can be treated.

You will see at the very top of the columns why I picked 65.9% as the Florida fully vaccinated figure. The NY Times got their data from the CDC (see bottom of third image). I do not know why this data is different from other charts you all have, but.... here it is.
