"Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. now are in people who weren't vaccinated, a staggering demonstration of how effective the shots have been and an indication that deaths per day — now down to under 300 — could be practically zero if everyone eligible got the vaccine.
"An Associated Press analysis of available government data from May shows that "breakthrough" infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. That's about 0.1%.
"And only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people. That translates to about 0.8%, or five deaths per day on average”
What are the anti vaxxers saying?
Same as people who eat and drink too much and don't "believe" in liver or heart disease?
People just don't like be told what to do even if it might save their lives.
All jabbed at the ground. My missus has a phobia of needles and was an absolute wreck, but a nurse spotted her in the queue and has hand held her throughout. Great service and with a great view!

I’m finally having my second vaccination on Thursday. It’s more than 12 weeks since my first one, having been waiting for confirmation from an Allergy team in Bristol, given my reaction first time round. Fingers crossed, I don’t have the same issues this time.
I overheard two blokes talking yesterday, this is roughly how it went. 1st bloke - did you go to that festival? 2nd bloke - no I didn't want to take the chance 1st bloke - have you had both your jabs? 2nd bloke - no I can't see the point. As Forrest Gump would say "stupid is as stupid does".
A mix-and-match approach to Covid vaccines - using different brands of jab for first and second doses - gives good protection against the pandemic virus, a UK study has found.
All combinations worked well, priming the immune system.
This knowledge could offer flexibility for vaccine rollout, say experts.
The UK's deputy chief medical officer, Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, said there was no reason to change the current successful same dose vaccine schedules in the UK, however, given vaccines were in good supply and saving lives.
But he says it might be something to look at in the future: "Mixing doses could provide us with even greater flexibility for a booster programme, while also supporting countries who have further to go with their vaccine rollouts, and who may be experiencing supply difficulties."

The Com-Cov trial looked at the efficacy of either two doses of Pfizer, two of AstraZeneca, or one of them followed by the other.
