That quote is highly misleading because what they were measuring was different. The J&J vaccine is 85 percent effective in preventing moderate to severe cases and 100 percent effective at preventing deaths in clinical trials. It was 66 percent effective at preventing any symptoms.

I think people might be getting complacent, plus with the slightly better weather they are getting out more.

Don't like the up.
My dad church in South Georgia opened back up to normal operations today (full church, choir, Sunday school). Granted it’s a small church but most of the members are retired. They do have a nursery as well as a decent number of young adults with children. They took a vote at the last business meeting and by a wide margin voted to return back to full capacity. I’m sure their church isn’t the only one making a similar decision after a year of lockdown.

I think it's great that there are so many vaccine and treatment options becoming available !!!
(I would consider it if needed, as of now I am extremely low risk.)
(I would consider it if needed, as of now I am extremely low risk.)
Agreed. I won't criticize anyone if they want to take the vaccine. But like you, I think I am at low risk, and I just don't think the vaccine is warranted for me. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and it's on me.
