4. I see your point. Not sure I agree.

Regardless of when the call was made we were never going to be at the 70-80% vaccinated we wanted. Because too many Americans will not get the vaccination.

But there are studies and just the raw data that shows the vaccines work way better than even the most optimistic thought.

In my state, Florida, if you are not vaccinated it’s generally because you are reluctant or resistant. We have tons of walk up sites now.

With the data we have it eventually becomes untenable to keep telling safe vaccinate people to keep changing their life’s.

Perhaps the Administration could have slow rolled it, meeting with governors and planning a date. But that would have also caused confusion especially since so many states are now doing nothing.

I just don’t see a good alternative. It’s a no win situation because so many Americans are idiots.
