Until they live in small houses and consume as much energy as an apartment dweller washing dishes at a restaurant, I really don't want to hear any crap from them about how WE need to sacrifice and pay 4x more for energy in California than most others... I think Europe has had enough of their nonsense but I don't hear many complain in CA... but a lot are getting subsidized and have switched to averaging their bills over a year so it is hard to tell since they don't really see the steep increases. Lobsters in a pot coming to boil we are Yoda.

Interesting data... I wonder what the rate is today. AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19 ama-assn.org JUN 11, 2021 CHICAGO — The American Medical Association (AMA) today released a new survey (PDF) among practicing physicians that shows more than 96 percent of surveyed U.S. physicians have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions. Of the physicians who are not yet vaccinated, an additional 45 percent do plan to get vaccinated. From Texas A&M The 1 In 10 U.S. Doctors With Reservations About Vaccines Could Be Undermining The Fight Against COVID-19 today.tamu.edu APRIL 5, 2022 On the surface, our results provide some reassuring news for using physicians as leading vaccine promoters. We found that only 5.2% of PCPs were unvaccinated against COVID at the time of our survey, echoing the findings of the American Medical Association’s June 2021 survey. ... Digging deeper into the data, however, reveals some troubling trends. Even if most physicians are well-positioned to serve as vaccination advocates, our results still suggest that 10.1% of PCPs do not agree that vaccines in general are safe. Similarly, 9.3% do not agree that all vaccines are effective, and 8.3% do not agree that they are important. So they agree that 96% think the COVID vaccines are safe and effective but less are as positive overall about vaccines in general. It would be interesting to dig deeper... Some on religious grounds might not want their kids to get the HPV vaccine preferring to not promote promiscuity or whatever nonsense they think is worth a higher risk of death from a preventable cancer. Or some of the hesitancy might be for recommending young kids get the vaccine for a disease that they have a near 100% survival rate if they get it. It is possible here the huge push to have kids vaccinate was from the CA teacher's union that has grown quite obese so their members are at much higher risk than the kids so they demanded kids get vaccinated before they would come back to work... and us taxpayers were paying for substandard remote teaching. That sort of "problem" can cloud the science with politics even in 80% democrat California.
