"ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. — County leaders were hoping the annual St. Charles County Fair would help boost vaccinations there, the number of people rolling up their sleeves did not fare well.

It was day four of the St. Charles County Fair, and of course lots of folks snatched up the traditional corn on the cob, funnel cakes and corn dogs. But this year, county leaders also hoped fair-goers would flock to this mobile van for something a bit unusual: a COVID-19 vaccine.

"Every single vaccination counts at this time," said Sara Evers, the acting director of the St. Charles County Health Department.

COVID-19 cases are still rising in St. Charles County, driven by the delta variant. For now, they’re looking at the positives."

they administered. It would be nice to know that some took them up on a free vaccine that could save their lives.

But it looks like we have to face it, most Americans with any sense got vaccinated long ago. There are just too many dummies walking among us.

8. "After spending two days at the fair, their COVID-awareness crews didn't vaccinate a single person."

Very sad.

My only request is they stay away from other people and - most especially - don't go to the hospital and expose healthcare workers when they become ill.

6. That's The Problem

Too many aren't dying & they're just passing it around like a joint.

9. does that mean those doses were wasted?

depends on which one, but i'm assuming that at least 1 vial was lost.
dont know tho.

11. At this point, many public health pros are fine wasting a vial if it means someone got the shot.

10. I wouldn't get vaccinated at the county fair either unless I went there for that.

There’s a decent chance of side effects in 6-24 hours. That takes a bit of planning.
