Biden just announced the U.S. has reached 200 million shots administered. It's obvious that the government/media are pulling out all the stops for this vaccine marketing campaign, but I still can't get over how illogical this particular statistic is and how it should be to everyone.

Looking at this link by the Department of Health (https://health.ri.gov/publications/guidelines/COVID19-vaccine-timeline.pdf), we can see that government employees, healthcare workers, school staff, and 65-75+ have been eligible for the vaccine. All other age groups, from 16-64 are still in the process of eligibility being rolled out, also dependent on underlying health conditions.

Looking at U.S. population data (as of 2019), about 60 million people are below the age of 15, with the total population being 328 million. Removing kids from the equation, are we expected to believe that pretty much everyone who is eligible for the vaccine has taken at least one dose? Maybe I'm highly underestimating the demand or not keeping up with accelerated vaccine eligibility, but I live in one of the most liberal states and I'd say it's still split maybe 60/40 on those willing to take it.

It's even more clear to me through stats like this that bad actors are really running out of time. With the UC system announcing they are requiring vaccines this fall, after JUST claiming they were undecided on requiring it a week ago, the pressure is definitely on. Is this what a 10 year plan being condensed into a couple of years looks like?
