I think that the seniors in Florida are going to top out at 70% to 75% vaccinations. The lower ages will have much more people who decide that they don’t want the vaccination. If and when the airlines, cruise ships, stadiums, and other large crowd events required the proof of vaccinations, those percentages will increase. But there will always be people who refuse the vaccinations.
Hopefully, the "when" is NEVER.
Just what we need-----a government or a business deciding where, when and how you can travel or attend an event based upon a vaccination database. Maybe George Orwell can add an addendum to 1984.
How about polio vaccine, or measles, or pertussis? How about Hepatitis B? Meningococcus? To answer a previous poster, I don't want to sit next to a person on a plane who has meningococcemia----which is 100x as contagious and 100x as deadly as COVID. I want them to have the same protection I have. But that should NEVER happen, because what is next? Put your political party on your passport, or religion, or sexual preference, or club memberships???? Couldn't ever happen??? That's what Germans thought in 1932.
Again, be very careful about what you wish for.
