Here is an interesting stat form the article:

    Among all Americans, 71% have been vaccinated or are willing to be, according to the survey, while 13% staunchly oppose the shots.

The delta (no pun intended) between have-been and willing-to-be vaccinated is pretty big. 20ish%. Is there another explanation besides failure of messaging and outreach?

"I'll take 'disinformatziya' for 20ish%, LeVar."

Wanna see a terrifying graph, courtesy Daily Shot this morning?

Finland? To the best of my knowledge, has a trustworthy press. Brazil and Nigeria, to the best of my knowledge, do not. Germany? Sure. Turkey? Nopers. But the fact that the British trust their notoriously shite press more than Americans do says exactly what the RSF has quantified: sources of information in the United States are contentious, politicized and subject to self-censure.

I watched a fuckin' six part HBO documentary on "holy shit Ronan Farrow successfully reported on an open secret that everyone knew to be true." Meanwhile we've got congressmen yammering about Rothschild space lasers.
