As the omicron variant continues to spread, the national vaccination effort is as urgent as it ever has been. Still, many Americans remain hesitant.
According to a recent survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, 23,830,000 Americans -- or 9.6% of the 18 and older population -- say they will either probably or definitely not agree to receive the vaccination.
The share of Americans who will likely refuse vaccination varies considerably nationwide, from as many as 20.5% of the adult population to as little as 3.6%, depending on the state.
Many Americans who have yet to be vaccinated cite one of three reasons: either they are concerned about possible side effects, or they want to wait to see if it is safe, or it is difficult for them to obtain a vaccination. Others cite different reasons.
Nationwide, 14,120,000 people, 5.7% of the adult population, do not trust the COVID-19 vaccines, and another 6,980,000, or 2.8%, do not think COVID-19 is a big threat. Additionally, 12,130,000 American adults, or 4.9% of the 18 and older population, have not been vaccinated because they do not trust the government.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been 76,448,067 confirmed cases of the virus and a total of 902,189 Americans have died as a result.
So far, 213,430,434 Americans -- or 65.2% of the total population -- have received the full course of vaccinations necessary to protect against COVID-19.
All survey data used in this story was published by the Census on Jan. 19, 2022. All data related to COVID-19 infections, fatalities, and vaccinations is current as of Feb. 10, 2022.

There is loads of malpractice going on every day in the medical establishment.
The latest one they are telling me is the wounds on my legs are caused by "poor circulation". They want me to see a venous surgeon so he can stick catheters in the arteries of my legs. And what will that really accomplish except for the doctors to make more fees?
According to the 1947 Nuremburg rulings, which were adopted by the U.S. in 1947, they cannot force patients to submit to unreasonable or experimental medical procedures.
But they still refuse to take into account the wounds are caused by the MRSA bacteria. Next week I will ask them to do a swab test on the wounds and see what grows. ;)

I think that's what got me too. I struggle with math after mashing up my brain.

You need to go to the linked article and click though 50+ images to learn where your state ranks; 50=most compliant, 1=least compliant. My Kentucky is #16 FWIW.
