I don't think of "RS" as being a credible part of the "media" even loosely defined as such, to include CNN/Fox/whoever else.

Iowa's COVID testing gives you a result within 3-5 days. My administrative assistant had a test Tuesday. She texted today (Sunday), it was negative. So I went without help most of the past week.

Folks, we gotta do better.

I think what I learned is that "one percent" is inherently weird, and the "news" often is about the "one percent".  I've also learned how often the "media" contrive and distort story lines for impact.

This is what I'm talking about.....we think it's 1%, but it's A LOT more.  No, the twitterverse isn't a representative of them, the voting booth is.  It's closer to 30%.  You know, the % of people not getting vaccinated, seemingly, no matter what.  These aren't "wait and see if it's safe" people anymore, it's "I'll never get the vaccine because I won't be told what to do" people.
.
Maybe we could forbid them from jumping off a cliff?

We need someone to drill down and figure out exactly who the anti-vaxers are right now.

I now know 4 people (two couples) who won't get it.

The reasoning for one couple is just that they don't do "MD things".

The other couple won't get it, because "it's really not a vaccine" (meaning you can still get Covid).

How do know it's not "one percent"?  And yes, it's much higher on some opinions, but I'm really talking about extreme positions.  These one percenters generate a LOT of noise, not numbers.  One such extreme position for example is that Bill Gates has a tracking chip in the vaccine.

Some people don't get the vaccine because they know they already had the virus.  Others because they believe if they get it, the impact will be small.  I may disagree, but those are not one percenter opinions.

Oh, so they're just stupid [at least about science]?

I don't know about any microchips, but I've got 5 bars on my phone everywhere I go now. 

After the booster, I'm hoping to be my own cell site!

I had a neighbor way back who said the strip they put in paper money was to collect fingerprints and surface the underground economy.  He was a pediatrician, so probably not completely dumb.  He also thought the Queen of England was head of an international drug cartel.

After he told me that, I avoided him, so I don't know what else he believed.  Fake moon landings, various secret groups controlling everything, JFK was killed by aliens, ...

I'm talking about "extreme positions", defined as such by me.

Wow. If my kids' pediatrician was known to believe any of that, I don't think I could trust her to treat my children.

Oh, no doubt, we didn't have kids at the time.  He was really nutty.

France clearly headed down.

UK trending up still, weird.

Sweden slight trend up from low base.

Florida MAY be past the peak, hopefully.  

Ohio climbing.

This thing does appear to be going south to north.  

India had a sharp major peak May 2 and then a sharp decline, very low vax rate there.

Brazil shows no sharp peaks, very muddy, trending down now more or less.  Data for these two countries could be dubious.
