The number doesn't matter. What matters is if it is higher than the percentage of people that can be persuaded to vaccinate.So whatever the actual percentage is, is very likely much higher than the percentage we can attain, at least in countries with actively destructive political leaders.And to be clear: that specifically means to not get fixated on any given number.In some countries the hope of reaching this number actually lives. But not in enough countries to matter, or in the really big countries.USA is the main obstacle here. Despite having every resource and opportunity, the US will very likely fail.Of course if you believe the number is lower than the number of anti-vaxxers, Republicans, conspiracy theorists, and what not, then you are welcome to argue that. I honestly envy you and wish I could hope I was wrong and you were right.</blockquote>
