Current Events > vaccination rate for the USA isn't as low as you think

(+) Yeah! (+)

For some reason they calculate the percentage against the whole US population, which is technically incorrect because kids 12 and under aren't even eligible at the moment.

Their numbers say 53% fully vacc'd and 63% partically vacc'd

Instead you have to take the population (333M) and subtract kids 12 and under - a little research says that's roughly 52M. 333M minus 52M. 281M is the number eligible for the vaccine.

With that number, the percentages are actually 74% partially vacc'd and 63% fully vacc'd.
So we're closer than you think to the 80% "goal" than you think just glancing at the official numbers posted.

Just thought I'd try to bring a little ray of hope to the forum seeing as everybody's sick of this virus shit and there's so much bitching about people not getting the vacc. We're getting there..
