Unfortunately, misinformation coupled with the potential expense of paying for a costly vaccine have resulted in extremely low vaccination rates for COVID-19. Per the latest CDC data, only 21.0 percent of American adults reported that they have received the latest vaccine released at the beginning of the Fall. Coverage of children is even worse at 10.6 percent, or approximately half the rate of adults.

Woke up Christmas day (today) with a sore throat. So far testing negative, we'll see in two days. I'm still one who wears a mask in every public indoor place, but it's impossible to be safe if everyone else is judging precautions by feels and not science.

Yes, it's too late to eliminate it, but 21% vaccinated is not just willfully ignorant about the long-term health effects, it also shows an astounding lack of care and concern for each other. Just depressing.
