[edited]. jimjamuser has posted something with an easily Googled claim. So I used the Google and found:

AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19 | American Medical Association

This is a survey report from early June being done by the AMA of practicing doctors in the USA using the WebMD physician panel. It was not a random survey, it was not Gallup quality. But it is the best data available. You might argue that those physicians who participate in a WebMD panel are better at keeping up to date on new information, or not.

The result of their survey which was 1/2 primary care and 1/2 specialists was that per the press release

AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19


So I think, unless you have newer better information with a link, jim's statement looks pretty good. I will allow that over 96% does not mean 97%. It could be 96.1% But being that it was done in early June, the number can only have gone up since then.

In the interest in civility, it would be nice to see someone, just once, come online and apologize for calling someone a [edited].

An interesting point:
Only about 20-30% of U.S. doctors are paying members of the AMA. SO, I am curious if they are speaking for ALL doctors in regards to having been vaccinated or just members?
