<b>Just 57 percent have been vaccinated in Washington County while 68 percent have gotten the shot in Warren and 70 in Saratoga.</b>

Those are all too low. Those are fully vaxxed, I believe. Fully vaxxed in St. Lawrence is 53.5%, Jefferson is 46.7% and Lewis is 44.5%. I read WDT everyday and their case numbers reflect. The political split in the district is as distinct as it is in the country. That’s the reddest part of it. Fully vaxxed for Vermont is over 77%. Can’t believe we let those Ben and Jerry’s noshing hippies show us up.

If for no other reason, I wear a mask wherever the employees are required to wear them, out of respect. I started wearing it at the Y because I see they have been. Cumby’s and Mkt 32 as well.

When I wrote too low I meant more people should be getting jabbed. I didn’t mean to dispute your numbers. I know they’re correct.

Wasn’t planning a thread, but just saw this tweet. We’re ten points behind a country that Nixon illegally bombed. I didn’t look to see who else.

Portugal now the global leader with 84% of population fully vaccinated

Canada? 71%

Cambodia 65%

US is 40th globally at 55%

Even Vermont, our most vaccinated state, would rank 15th in the world

US is falling further and further behind

We've got to get our act together folks
