always going to have a certain percentage of folks that refuse to do the right thing.  Many reasons, ignorance is maybe the biggest reason

if we could only get a clear concise consistent message from political leaders..........

I bet we end up with tens of millions of unused vaccines by around August.  Paid for, sitting and gradually spoiling.
Hey man,I'll try anything once

IF the polls are nearly correct and a third of the population doesn't want the vaccine, obviously we'll end up with extra vaccine.  Herd immunity by then probably will have the rates down far and folks will believe it's over and they don't need a vaccine, so why take the risk?

From what I've seen the poll numbers regarding the percentage that won't get a vaccine, have been dropping over the past 4-6 months.  That's to be expected, as more people see their friends and neighbors getting the vaccine, and failing to grow a 3rd arm.  In another couple of months, I think the number that "refuses" to get the vaccine will be 20% or less, which will be more than enough to get to herd immunity when combined with the people who've already had it.

That is of course, IF the vaccine is effective against all current and mutating strains of the virus.

Which it will not be.

As I noted some time ago, by far the biggest side effect of getting vaccinated is bragging about getting vaccinated.

Both sets of our parents (mine and the Mrs.) either have at least 1 shot or are on the docket to get it. 

Both the Mrs. and I are so far down the list I'm looking up at the well-digger.

I figured folks who said they would wait would diminish in numbers over time.

But they still may be a large enough body that we end up with excess vaccine.

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine?

Regarding the "won't get the vaccine", from everything I've read there are two groups... Those who aren't ready to get the vaccine YET, and those who don't want it at all. Most of the "not YET" group will be whittled down as they see more and more people getting it and not having issues. The latter are beyond hope IMHO.

Why is the current Administration allowing illegal aliens released into this country that are positive for covid

What possible justification could there be for this

Rodney Scott is Chief of the United States Border Patrol

Is he taking direct orders from the White House on this?  Or is he able to make reasonable decisions?

Today, everything is the president's fault, just like 6 months ago nothing was the president's fault.  And vice-versa.

I suppose Rodney is smart enough to know there's been a shift in "thinking" and he might want to keep his job, but.................. DUDE!

Currently there is a screening for covid procedure in place however if an illegal is positive all they get are suggestions to quarantine and seek medical help from local US doctors

There is no procedure to make sure these folks stay isolated

They are free to catch a bus and go anywhere they want

this is vastly different then the Trump administration when they would have been returned to their origin country
