Twitter is full of loathing for Deborah Birx. The prevailing view is that she lacked Fauci's courage, failed to tell the truth about COVID, collaborated in Trump's lies, and should have quit.

The prevailing view is wrong. Dead wrong. https://t.co/dLZfoxNUrd

In reply to a major reason a lot of p.o.c

make something, anything, have complicated rules of any kind, there's lots of people that just won't do it then! they'll just not even bother if someone tries to help; if it's complicated, fuggedaboutit:

I guess it's a moot point as states expand eligibility to everyone, but about 30% of people *don't know whether they're eligible for the vaccine*, with the rates higher for more disadvantaged groups. There's downside to complicated eligibility rules.https://t.co/1OvzGZU0Wk pic.twitter.com/KkjpwC7jHv

a major reason a lot of p.o.c are not getting vaccinated turns out to be the same reason low-income whites aren't: because they are low education people, don't pay that much attention, not information consumers, they are people who don't even have any awareness that they qualify to be vaccinated. (Like this: is medical shit and they don't do that either, don't go to doctors; why bother, it's going to end up costing you something and it probably won't help; where would I even start if I was going to; if I had a relative that would know, I would ask him/her, but I don't; etc. Latinos worse on that front than blacks!):

Vaccine hesitancy is one big problem.

Vaccine eligibility confusion is another problem.

More than a third of several groups say they have no idea if they're eligible for a shot right now:

Latinos: 45%
Less than $40k: 37%
Black Americans: 36%
No college: 35% https://t.co/EAC2wKO5ON

My wife and I worked two computers simultaneously refreshing different sites and we will now get our bleach injections on our wedding anniversary.

I will hold off on smoking until they start assigning draft numbers again.

anecdotal supporting the idea that most people ("the silent majority") still have the common sense to be ascared, even baseball fans in Texas:

The assumption the only thing holding back "normal" behaviors is governmental restrictions is wrong. It's far more complex, which is why many will continue to distance, wear masks and seek out less crowded venues well after restrictions are lifted. https://t.co/rXvIHKzan3

In reply to This approach makes sense,

wow moat I didn't even know they made Camels anymore, I had to look it up. A vaccination is worth $12 a pack to you? every real longtime smoker I know goes and buys no-tax Senecas on the "Indian reservation" out on Long Island.

I sense spin and lack of desire to do the real hard work. You can't be under 30, you've been on Dagblog longer than that, and as per my comment upthread, you now quality. Get your ass moving on those signup websites, keep refreshing, it's like playing the slots, you have to keep at it to win.
