A majority of people ARE vaccinated in the US. And you're vaccinating over 1% more per day. Don't undersell yourselves.

36.3% are fully vaccinated. It is great progress. But it is not a majority.
Currently 46.6% of the population. Over 2m/day on average being vaccinated.
NB: codingdave is referring to fully vaccinated individuals, while greedo is referring to individuals with at least one shot. Both are correct.

@scrollaway is most definitely _not_ correct however, since no number below 50% is “a majority” of the population by definition, and regardless that is not a sufficient number to deliver value in the form of herd immunity via vaccine.
