It is almost guaranteed they tell everyone no gatherings for thanksgiving and christmas this year

I'm assuming that meant % vs population.

February 17, 20214 yr Over the past several weeks, everyone from elected officials to health experts in Pennsylvania have rattled off several factors that they feel have contributed to the slow roll out of vaccines in the state. Some have criticized the state for its patchwork system of distribution, its complicated guidelines and the poor job it has done in communicating who gets what and when and where. https://www.chestercounty.com/2021/02/17/347709/county-health-department-rushes-to-get-covid-19-vaccine-to-residents PA and my county are sucking big time. In this article it also says about the other locations, pharmacies, and such. Tried to click the map and page can't be displayed. I know several people who got vaccinated in Lancaster Co. or Delaware Co. Oh, but if you know someone and someone misses an appointment, (like at the Red Clay Room in my town), they call people on this list. Um, that's one too many lists!

It's simple f'ing math, but if you need me to spoon feed it to you, then I can... Even with our current supply constraints and all the F-ups in the roll out so far, we're still currently administering about 1.7M doses per day. Everyone needs two doses to be vaccinated. We have a population of ~330M. So even at this current rate, ~50% of the population will be fully vaccinated by August. Assuming compliance is high, we'd get to ~75% by November. In reality, 1.7M per day is likely to shoot up to 2.5M or even 3M per day as the issues in distribution are ironed out and additional doses from other vaccine makers are added to the supply. So when we say everyone who wants one can get it by August, it's based on these sorts of projections. Current polls put vaccine compliance around 70% (up from about 50% from polls taken last summer.) Doesn't include young children yet, but there's a chance we'd start vaccinating the 5-12 group by then also. So yes, you get that percentage of the population vaccinated by then and the chances of sustained community spread will plummet (especially during the summer months). It's not magic, it's not some mystery, it's basic science and math.

Besides, you forget that a large portion of those idiots will (or have already) subjected themselves to the virus and thus gained some form of natural immunity.

Yeah but natural immunity does not last forever from what I read and those people that have gotten the virus can get the new variants , also many of these people have children they won't vaccinate so that number is more than 30% of the population that refuse the vaccine
