    Are your numbers correct (Edited to add: Or what are they quoting - total population)? They don't seem to agree with what the UK gov is showing here: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations

    ...that shows 89%->76% for 1st and 2nd jabs (Edited to add: Over 18's)

    >75% double jabbed in the UK.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Hadn't checked the daily doses for a few weeks...so glad to see it has been getting near to 250k per day on some days which is welcome.

    ...but that is >=18 years old? So if taken across the whole population, and <18 is 20% or so, maybe the confusion is that 60% looks like from age 0 on.

    Which is why stats can't always be relied upon to give a full picture :)

    I read today that 30% of under 30's have not had the jab which is a pessimistic way of looking at it!
    It means that have 70% HAVE had the jab which is pretty good really!

    Then one in five Americans is spectacularly dumb. As a child I used to look to America as a place of vitality and innovation, freedom and tolerance. Oh dear.

    You just have to see the size of needle and chip used for pet cats and dogs to know it won't go thru the teeny Covid vax needle.

    Our local supermarket is a Sainsbury's hypermarket. I didn't see one person without a mask but few were wiping their trolleys or using hand washing gel. The trolley stuff had run out anyway.

    And also - why? Why would the government - any government - want to microchip it's citizens? To what possible purpose? This is the weird thing about conspiracy theories - there never seems to be an explanation beyond "'they' are out to get me". I'm afraid none of us matters that much. We're certainly not worth the price of a microchip
