Apparently they were using a total population of about 51 million such Americans as their denominator, and now have adjusted to use more like 55 Million as the total population 65+ (which is what I had been using before, from the Census Deptartment's website).

Strangely, they also DECREASED the number of people 75+ who have received a first shot, by over a million from yesterday's report. I have no good explanation for that. 65+ numbers seemed to have jumped, so perhaps many were re-classified.

A Great Reset after the not-so-great communicators's speech praising the high percentage of seniors vaccinated?

Seems suspiciously coincidental.

“after the not-so-great communicators’s speech”

...now my leading theory. Thanks
