On liberty, conspiracy, and vaccination Kathmandu Post
Nepal, July 5 Although countries like Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States have done particularly well getting Covid-19 vaccines into arms as fast as possible, vaccine hesitancy remains a serious hurdle. In the US, it has already derailed President Joe Biden s goal of administering at least one vaccine dose to 70 percent of the US population by July 4.
In a CNN poll in April, about 26 percent of US respondents said they do not intend to get vaccinated at all. That is a big problem, given that near-universal vaccination is the only reliable way to end the pandemic. Assuming, for example, that Covid-19 variants as contagious as measles become dominant, achieving herd immunity could require that 94 percent of the population is immune.
