It is our point of view and our social values that lead us to have debates about concepts whose foundations are set.

(The New York Times has a similar number on their COVID-19 website.) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of fully vaccinated people in the United States is at a little over 32 million as of today. This is significant because well over 90% of the United States population should receive at least one dose of the vaccine by September, taking the country as a whole well into herd immunity territory. (One dose matters now that the Janssen/Johnson&Johnson vaccine has received Emergency Use Authorization.) It is also significant because, as long as the pace of vaccination outpaces the rate of new infection, the epidemic in the United States should slow down and begin to reverse.]]></description><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/covid-19-milestone-in-the-united-states-the-number-of-people-fully-vaccinated-is-now-larger-than-the-number-of-reported-cases</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1057</guid><category><![CDATA[Viral Disease]]></category><category><![CDATA[Pandemics]]></category><category><![CDATA[Epidemiology]]></category><category><![CDATA[Historical Events]]></category><category><![CDATA[North America]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behind the Photograph: Smallpox at Hoffman Island, New York]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/behind-the-photograph-smallpox-at-hoffman-island-new-york</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1058</guid><category><![CDATA[Society]]></category><category><![CDATA[North America]]></category><category><![CDATA[Viral Disease]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rabies as a Social Justice Issue]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/rabies-as-a-social-justice-issue</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1059</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pfizer's Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/pfizers-race-for-a-covid-19-vaccine</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1060</guid><category><![CDATA[STEM]]></category><category><![CDATA[Epidemiology]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Interview With Wisconsin Public Radio]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/interview-with-wisconsin-public-radio</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1061</guid><category><![CDATA[Society]]></category><category><![CDATA[Controversies]]></category><category><![CDATA[Media]]></category><category><![CDATA[North America]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[COVID-19 Deaths Were Not Just Reclassified Deaths From Other Diseases and Conditions]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/covid-19-deaths-were-not-just-reclassified-deaths-from-other-diseases-and-conditions</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1062</guid><category><![CDATA[Viral Disease]]></category><category><![CDATA[Pandemics]]></category><category><![CDATA[Epidemiology]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[European Court for Human Rights: Mandatory Vaccines Are Consitutional]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/european-court-for-human-rights-mandatory-vaccines-are-consitutional</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1063</guid><category><![CDATA[Europe]]></category><category><![CDATA[Society]]></category><category><![CDATA[Government]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen Vaccine “Pause” Is Actually Not A Rare Occurrence]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/the-johnson-johnson-janssen-vaccine-pause-is-actually-not-a-rare-occurrence</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1064</guid><category><![CDATA[Viral Disease]]></category><category><![CDATA[Pandemics]]></category><category><![CDATA[Epidemiology]]></category><category><![CDATA[STEM]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Book Review: “Germs at Bay: Politics, Public Health, and American Quarantine” by Charles Vidich]]></title><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/book-review-germs-at-bay-politics-public-health-and-american-quarantine-by-charles-vidich</link><guid isPermaLink="false">1065</guid><category><![CDATA[Book Review]]></category><category><![CDATA[Historical Events]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 22 Mar 2022 12:30:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[How Many Cases of a "Breakthrough" COVID-19 Infection Should We Expect?

However, it is agreed that the practice started somewhere in Asia, in either China or India. (It is possible that it started in both places at around the same time.) In China, scabs from smallpox pustules would be dried in the sun and then inhaled by people seeking to be inoculated. The drying of the scabs would weaken the virus -- or make less of it viable -- and the inoculated person would (hopefully) not develop the full-blown symptoms of smallpox. In India, the method was similar to what would migrate west to the Middle East, North Africa and eventually Europe. That method involved lancing the pustule of someone recovering from smallpox and then using that same lance to transfer some of the pustule material (pus) into the arm of a healthy person.]]></description><link>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/blog/the-history-of-variolation</link><guid

Since the last report, we have begun to correspond with other European and American collections with early vaccination tools that could be assayed for residue.
