@kino that would be good, a few options but it needs to be quick and simple for people to help with mass take up
@kino Indeed, I have set up

Another way that the Biden Presidency is striving to be an administration that represents all Americans. I love to see it!

@d3vnull they were having issues a while back, time to switch perhaps.
@zleap @TonyStark It affects everyone everywhere.
@TonyStark +1 from that, even though I am British, the environment is important to me here too, America can hopefully help lead the way on this now.
Nice to have a President who respects the environment and understands climate change. Nice to have a President who doesn't consider protected and federal lands his playground for exploitation.
We should be part of the change for future generations.
Thank you, President Biden, for taking action to move us to better and cleaner options. #Biden46

@alyx We saw the end of communism play out on TV, in some cases live, we saw the Romanian orphanages and the plight of the children there.
So you raise a really important point here.?

@Cindyjosaitis@democracy.town @Calluna People had a jab during trials, but they were monitored and some were given the actual vaccine others a placebo, so this could be one explanation, especially once people start twisting things around on social media.
@Cindyjosaitis@democracy.town @Calluna thing is they 'heard' that usually is like Chinese whispers where the actual message gets lost en route.
The press / media / social media has a lot to answer for, if anyone can help find a paper on that bit about needing 70% take up it may help.
What you need to do is worry about yourself if you are protected at least it gives you peace of mind.
There may be a point where unless there is a medical reason, it could be a condition of employment to have had the jab.
Employers HAVE to protect their staff / customers / suppliers.
@Cindyjosaitis@democracy.town @Calluna Why are they sceptical,
Apparently there is a lot of fake news and other rubbish on Mainstream social media about the vaccine etc. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I find this really worrying as to move forward, and the vaccine to be really effective we NEED something like 70% take up.
@Calluna @Cindyjosaitis@democracy.town I think one of Pfizer has reduced the amount they are making in the EU so that, they can, quite rightly make more of the vaccine by making the production line more efficient.
Makes sense to me,
