A month after federal officials recommended new versions of COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot.

One expert called the rates “abysmal.”

The numbers, presented Thursday at a meeting held by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, come from a national survey of thousands of Americans, conducted two weeks ago.

The data also indicated that nearly 40% of adults said they probably or definitely will not get the shot. A similar percentage of parents said they did not plan to vaccinate their children.

      That can’t be right, that’s only supposed to happen if we switch to universal healthcare! Wait times never exist! Be afraid of universal healthcare! Ahhh!!!

      It’s really amazing that people completely ignored the fact that we’ve always had wait times for appointments in favor of parroting their favorite propagandist defending the current system…
