New York Times, 12/31/2020

In Florida, less than one-quarter of delivered coronavirus vaccines have been used, even as older people sat in lawn chairs all night waiting for their shots. In Puerto Rico, last week’s vaccine shipments did not arrive until the workers who would have administered them had left for the Christmas holiday. In California, doctors are worried about whether there will be enough hospital staff members to both administer vaccines and tend to the swelling number of Covid-19 patients.

The latest evidence for this appears this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and it shows that skepticism toward the vaccines is on the rise among Americans of all stripes. 

Regardless of age, race or sex, U.S. adults were significantly less likely to say they'd get vaccinated in late November and early December than they were in early April.  [bold added]

It took more than 2 decades for Barry to establish himself, but after downing some rocket fuel in the mid-1920s, he shot into in the upper reaches of the baby names chart.  He spent 28 years (1951-1967, 1969) in the top 100, peaking at #61 in 1962.
