More are getting vaccinated, but sad to say not a flood. The intractables doubled down long ago; but we're see more defensive hostility there. What it'd take to make it a flood is something no one should wish for, of course.

"Recent data and a poll do show some movement in the right direction, as immunizations are increasing and hesitancy is declining among certain groups. According to federal officials, about 14 million people in the U.S. got their first dose in August, an increase of 4 million, compared to the numbers who got it in July.

And a new poll from the Axios-IPSOS Coronavirus Index found only 1 in 5 Americans, or 20%, say they are not likely to get the vaccine, while "hard opposition," those not at all likely, has dropped to 14% of those adults."
