If I surveyed 30 Villagers and asked them if they drove over 20 mph in their golf cart, and 29 responded that they didn’t. Would you then accept the notion that 97% of ALL Villagers do not drive over 20 mph?

Absent any other information, yes the results of the survey of 30 Villagers would stand. But I have other information, I have my personal observation. I know I have been passed by golf carts traveling more than 20mph but I also know that I've followed far more that were traveling at or below 20mph. I didn't keep score so I can't come up with an exact ratio but I also cannot deny the 97%.
With the 97% of doctors being vaccinated, again we are not without additional information. There are now two sources of information stating that their observations support the 97% number. Other than a strong desire to disbelieve, what do you have that shows the 97% number is incorrect?
"Well I just don't believe it." Is not evidence, it's an opinion.
