Somewhere in India or New Jersey, @Paul H is asking, "What became of my thread on a serious virus?"
Gosh, you're right. I so miss the incredible eloquence of our last president.

I also miss the transparency and information accuracy that came from having a press secretary for 9 months who never gave a press conference.
I don't know if that's an actual quote, but it sure sounds about right. Crazy 4 years.Gosh, you're right. I so miss the incredible eloquence of our last president.

1. Nickelback!Not just Canada, anywhere. Give me one good reason why a fully vaccinated Canadian - or someone fully vaccinated from any other country - can't come to the US for a visit.
2. Theory of a Deadman.1. Nickelback!
It is an actual quote. Loses a few points for not mentioning "the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you've ever seen", which apparently is a line reserved for interviews about missile strikes against Syria but not his family history, nuclear weapons, his education, and Persian negotiators.

Some nerds got nerdy with vaccine behavior survey data-
Very thorough, extensive and interesting.
COVID Behaviors Dashboard: This new interactive tool captures information on knowledge, attitudes and behaviors around vaccines, masking, testing and more from 12 million people in 115 countries.
The COVID Behaviors Dashboard visualizes data from the COVID-19 Trends and Impact Survey (CTIS), launched by Facebook with the Delphi Group at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Maryland Social Data Science Center. Insights and analyses on how to use the data were written by researchers and social and behavior change communication experts at CCP in collaboration with WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. This site is intended to be used by policy makers, health officials and practitioners at national and subnational levels to better understand the behavioral drivers behind vaccine uptake, masking and physical distancing among other behaviors that affect the spread of COVID-19.
Data from this ongoing survey is collected daily and the dashboard is updated every two weeks. More information on the survey, methodology and visuals can be found here.

US data on "definitely will not get vaccinated" by education:
Primary school or less - 40%
High school/some college - 53%
College or advanced degree - 64%
Wow.

i want to see the source on this one, bc i would expect it to be the other way around (also those percentages are much higher than i had anticipated them being)

We had a nice increase in daily vaccinations from July 10 to Sept 4, but it dropped off again:

Good point, I didn’t dig on this, but data is listed as weighted.The filter for this is that they currently are not vaccinated in the USA first half sept,
then stratify by education
then ask the question (will/may/may not/won't)
so 64% of the unvaccinated people with college+ "def will not"
This makes total sense, cause the college people would probably get vaccinated already,
leaving the hard-core hold outs as the dominant group among college educated.
the question now becomes, what is the education distribution of unvaccinated people?
This is where Bill's theory that it would be reversed when weighted by relative group size.

and this is why i wanted to see the source, i was hoping to glean that extra little bit of information that you have which clairfys the data. "In un-vaccinated people of those groups. . . " and in that light the data certainly makes more sense.
