“Eight States have crossed the milestone of having vaccinated (at least a first shot) 70% of their adult population: Rhode Island, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Vermont.”
You make it sound like this is something to be proud of.
It is just a measure of how compliant and sheeplike the people of those states are.
Why do you care? I mean, no one is coming after you with a needle. Literally no one give a hoot if you get vaccinated. Why do you care if someone else does?
70% of the adult population, with at least a first shot, has been announced by the President and several Governors (e.g. MD, NM), as the threshold for lifting COVID-19 restrictions, like masks, social distancing and capacity constraints.
Biden has announced that goal for the Nation by the 4th of July.
