There is always a segment of the population whose ignorance is stunning. I recently read about a physician in Germany who has concocted a home brew vaccine for Covid. He has people lining up to get vaccinated because they do not trust Moderna and Pfizer to deliver a safe and effective vaccine. Colleagues on the firing line tell me stories repeated to them almost daily, about folks filled with remorse because they failed to take the advice to get a vaccination. The suspicion over vaccines is probably not new, but I was too young to understand it during the polio epidemic. I do remember feeling a sense of relief when I was able to get the shots. Most young children feared getting polio back in the day. Every generation has some people who learn the hard way.Same in the metro Detroit area. Beaumont, Henry Ford, U of M are filled and limiting or canceling elective surgeries. Depending on the hospital, the percentage of unvaccinated taking up beds is 70 to 85%. That has to say something. Less than 30% of the population (unvaccinated) are contributing 70+% of those in the hospital. Michigan is averaging 5,000 to 7,000 new cases a day right now.
