1. I have always been shocked on how rural and white, but liberal Vermont is

Wonder why it and New Hampshire are so different.

3. most

outside Vermont think Burlington is Vermont... trust me, we have our share of illiberal residents in the other parts of the state...

I've said it's easy not being racist when you don't have to confront "the other"

...and good to remember Vermont was one of the leaders of the eugenics movement

that being said, there are a lot of good people here and I would never want to live in New Hampshire

6. I've asked myself that a million times since we moved to NH from VT years ago.

We're right on the border in a small, blue pocket, but it's like night and day politics-wise. The only thing that keeps me where I am is liking the location so much (close to town, but rural) and being able to do all my business in Vermont which is about 5 miles away. I know I feel very safe over there Covid-wise. The governor expects to be at 80% by July 4. My corner of NH is doing okay, too, but I notice there are still outbreaks in areas mostly up north that tend to be very red.

2. VT only has 650,000 people

They should have 70% by now.

7. That would make sense if you were speaking of the absolute number, not the percent

what it indicates is that, even though there are pockets with lower percents, even the worst counties are above 55 percent. Chittenden, Burlington' s County is above 80 percent of people over 12.

The state government did a great job on this.

10. Thanks to President Biden & his 1st class team

👍

11. Why does that matter?

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

4. I thought Washington state had reached 70% also.

[Stallion]

5. According to NPR Washington is at 56.3% for at least 1 Dose

this is for all total population-they may have reached 70% at least 1 dose for Adults(18+) I don't know

[Marrah_Goodman]

8. WTG Vermont!

[Peppertoo]

9. MA is at 66 percent (of total population with at least one dose)

This will climb as the teens and tweens get vaccinated.

12. Data is not current. I know NM is already about 50% fully vaccinated and well over 60% with at

least 1 dose.
