2. Keep in mind we were vaccinating older people first.

Women live longer than men, so there are more older women to be vaccinated.

4. True. Longevity survival effect in the elderly ovewhelmingly favors women. Not to mention HCWs have

a female overrepresentation and they were the first vaccinated.

15. Very good point.

8. Good news. The sense of relief is wonderful.

5. Nope. That's pretty close to % by sex for americans 65+ yrs old. n/t

11. And here's the correct answer

There are simply far more older women than men. And when vaccination focus has been on that age group for the first several months, you're going to get statistics like this.

Sex ratios in America equalize around 30 years old, and every year past that sees more and more women compared to men.

12. I went to the wiki page for USA demographics -- shows exactly what you are saying.

That was my first thought when I saw the original post -- more older women than older men, wikipedia has a nice page on USA demographics.

14. I work in HR, and we get print outs of this stuff constantly

We don't have hiring quotas or anything, but corporate wants us to be watchful of any obvious imbalance in hiring given local, regional, and national demographics.

Sometimes it's interesting. Sometimes much less so. Fortunately, the people in my office are very cognizant. We've only had one major incident where I had to personally step in. A department manager was pretty much blatantly only making internal promotions within her own racial group. Got that nipped in the bud awful fast.

6. This middle aged white male is a "two shotter".

I did so I can be around my elderly dad and get some assemblance of “normal” back to my life.

I will get the Moderna booster as soon as I am eligible.

9. My son-in-law is an idiot

Not just for this reason but...he’s 35, healthy and fit, and has been exposed to COVID a number of times (my daughter and grandson had it last fall, among others) and is convinced he’s “immune”. I told my daughter there will be no extended family gatherings until all adults are vaccinated. She’s a nurse and told me her lamebrained husband WILL be vaccinated.

10. I'll crush the virus inside of me with my muscles!

Like this:

Joking! And my second vaccine dose is about a week away!

[Aristus]

13. Male, 52 years old, both doses.

I'm also a medical provider, so ending this awful disease is kind of on my to-do list...
