This pandemic isn't a scenario in a board game where the rules are clear cut and easy to parse. A lot of the "wishy-washy"-ness that people attribute to the CDC is actually just them responding to the changing situation on the ground. People demand to know what percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated to return to normal so answers are given - but those answers will change as our understanding evolves.

Vaccinations save lives - and not only your own. Do it.

It's actually only around 60% of the nation that's got a single dose or more. We aren't anywhere close to 98%.

Specifically, 55.07% (fully) and 8.47% (partially).

He likely means the Adult and eligible population, we are close to 80% if not higher that has at least a single dose.

I meant vaccination targets, according to recent remarks by the President. I edited the OP accordingly.
