Where do most people refuse the COVID-19 vaccine? See what place in the ranking is your state.

Reluctance to vaccinate is partly responsible for the recent delta epidemics across much of the United States.

According to a recent US Census Bureau poll, 25.9 million Americans - or 10.4% of the population aged 18 and over - said they would likely or permanently refuse the vaccine.

Depending on the state, the percentage of eligible individuals likely to refuse vaccinations ranges from 25.2% to 3.7% of the adult population. The Northeast is home to the states with the highest percentage of adults seeking the vaccine.

Many Americans who have not yet been vaccinated report one of three reasons: they worry about possible side effects, they want to wait and see if the vaccine is safe, or they have trouble getting the vaccine. Others offer different explanations.

16.3 million adults, or 6.5% of the adult population, do not trust COVID-19 vaccines, while another 6,980,000, or 2.8%, do not think COVID-19 is a serious threat. Additionally, because they do not trust the government, 13.8 million adults in the United States, or 5.5% of the population aged 18 and over, have not been vaccinated.

During this time, the infection continues to spread. Since the start of the epidemic, there have been 36,547,639 confirmed cases of the virus, resulting in the deaths of 616,711 Americans.

Gambino family underboss dies in prison from 'health issues' at the age of 89: Daughter 'rushed to be by her father's side and he sang Frank Sinatra as he took his last breath'

Frank LoCascio, the Dapper Don's former underboss and acting consigliere, passed away Friday after serving 31 years of a life sentence A Gambino crime family underboss who stayed loyal to John Gotti even as the pair were hit with life sentences during a 1992 murder and racketeering trial has died in prison at age 89. Frank LoCascio, the Dapper Don's former underboss and acting consigliere, passed away Friday at the Federal Medical Center, Devens - a facility that houses federal prisoners with health issues - in Massachusetts. His daughter, Lisa LoCascio, was by his side as he took his last breaths.  LoCascio had been incarcerated for 31 years before his death last week after famously refusing to snitch on notorious mob boss Gotti during their infamous and highly publicized trial.  What's more, the high-ranking mafioso managed to cheat death during his three decades in the pen even with Gotti as his enemy, after the Teflon Don turned on him and put a 'contract' on hi...

The great class divide: Spending gap between private and state schools DOUBLES as they spend £6,500 more per pupil, study shows

Private school pupils have almost twice as much money spent on them as their state sector peers, a study shows. The Institute for Fiscal Studies found the gap has doubled over the last decade. While private school fees have risen by 23 per cent, per-pupil spending by the Government has fallen by 9 per cent in real terms after inflation. It meant average private school fees last year were £13,600 while state spending per pupil was around £7,100 – a gap of £6,500. In 2009-10, private school fees were £11,100 on average and state spending was £8,000, a difference of just £3,100. Private school pupils have almost twice as much money spent on them as their state sector peers, a study shows (stock image) The widening gap may partially explain why most state schools cannot keep up with the private sector in terms of grades and university admissions. Private schools on average pay higher wages to teachers, pride themselves on small classes and can usually afford better sporting facilities. Las...
