With another $9.5M in ads, Michigan plans to ‘keep trying’ to boost COVID vaccinations

Michigan surpassed the 6 million vaccinated residents mark as the calendar flipped to 2022.

In the almost five full months since, the state has seen fewer than 235,000 individuals get their first COVID-19 shot, including almost 25,000 in April and less than 16,000 thus far in May.

Vaccine uptake has advanced at a crawl since late last summer, but the state still believes more holdout residents can be convinced to get a shot.

After spending more than $77.6 million in state and federal funds for its vaccine advertising campaign in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, Michigan has earmarked another $9.5 million for the months April through June, according Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) data requested and obtained by MLive.

“There is much more work to do in the area of encouraging Michiganders to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan’s chief medical executive.

“When we look at age group and racial and ethnic background, as long as we see this heterogenous uptake in vaccines across the state, and as long as we see that we don’t have equity, and as long as there are groups out there who perhaps are not getting the full message and who perhaps are not getting all the information they need — until then I think we’re going to keep trying.”

“Yup. I deny Man Made Climate Change too. I’m also mean spirited, bigoted, racist, homophobic, islamaphobic, transphobic, and any other phobic the left can come up with.”
Congratulations, you aren’t a nut case.

Who is getting vaxxed? No one. We are so done with C19 here. Use the money for something useful.

per the latest data from New York State (May 16th 2022)

Re-infection from Omicron (both vaxexed and unvaxxed that have previously had Covid): 6 people in 100,000 per week.

Breakthough infection (Fully Vaxxed people getting Covid): 40 people in 100,000 per week.

Seems to me, if you’ve had Covid, there is no reason to get vaxxed.

Michigan must be trying to up the state’s genocide numbers! The State of Michigan and the governor must be looking to be charged for Crimes Against Humanity & then being tried at the Nuremberg II trials, ya think?

All I know is that Democrats keep trying to vaccinate the entire country, and I can only see this as pure evil. especially when they are not only ineffective but have known adverse effects that have had disastrous ramifications in people who have experienced debilitating effects for some which have changed their lives forever, and not for the better.

Hopefully, all of these people will pay dearly at some point in their lives, if not, after their deaths.

If FDA had not been slow walking approval of the Novovax vaccine, we might now have a huge majority vaxed and been over with this corporate made tragedy
