According to the FL Dept of Heatlh report, Sumter is doing much better than sixth lowest - it is about 39th in total vaccinations given.

Your 45 number might be the number of vaccinations just yesterday and even then we aren't sixth lowest (more like 10th). I wonder if that 45 number is accurate.

While we may have the 5th largest retirement community (I actually thought it was the largest), Sumter county is about the 32nd largest county in FL.

Sumter county's position in total vaccinations given (39th) is not too far off from it's position in total population (32).

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
