Across services, troops face discipline for refusing vaccine | AP News
As of the Dec. 15 deadline, 97.9% of active duty soldiers in the US Army have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine, slightly trailing 98% of the Navy but slightly higher than the Air Force (97.5%) and the Marine Corps (95%). The Air Force discharged 27 airmen who had refused to get the shot and the Navy has fired one sailor for refusing to be tested while he was pursuing an exemption.

The Data Manipulation Scandal That Could Topple the Heads of the
As the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund kick off next week, the Bretton Woods institutions are mired in scandal. I want to set aside the broader political calculations and focus on the case at hand: the Doing Business scandal. Facts matter, and the credibility of the World Bank and IMF matters beyond current leadership. So let’s review what we actually know about the data manipulation, how it arose, and who may be to blame, starting at the very beginning.

Weekly Update: U.S. #COVID19 vaccination levels by COUNTY & Partisan
Weekly Update: U.S. #COVID19 vaccination levels by COUNTY & Partisan
Methodology reminders, including some important updates: I go by FULLY vaccinated residents only (defined as 2 doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine). I base my percentages on the total population, as opposed to adults only or those over 11 years old. For most states + DC I use the daily data from the Centers for Disease Control, but there are some where the CDC is either missing county-level data entirely or where the CDC data is less than 90% complete at the county level. Therefore: For Hawaii, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia, I'm using data from the COVID Act Now Risk & Vaccine Tracker database. For Colorado, Georgia, New Mexico and Texas, I'm using their COVID vaccine dashboards set up by the state health departments. For California, I'm using the CDC data for most counties and the state health dept. dashboard data for the 8 small counties which the CDC isn't allowed to post data for. For Massachusetts, I'm using the CDC data for most counties but am now using the official Massachusetts Health Dept. weekly data report for Barnstable, Dukes & Nantucket counties, which the CDC only has partial data for.
