Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 102

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Re: Astrology and the Jab
I am not talented in astrological analysis whatsoever, but given my sign's predilection for getting at the underside of a subject, rejection of th jab by a majority is not particularly surprising.
Brave Leo in the van. Sometimes bravery comes at a cost.

Also, as a Sun in Leo, it seems I'm a 30%-er.
Still, I have to wonder why Leo features at the top of the conformance list, all the same.

It does look like fire signs in general are at the top of the list.
Another thing, this survey is in Salt Lake City, Utah. Fairly high Mormon population. I think their take rate was lower than average.
Re: Astrology and the Jab
I'm not a Scorpio, but I have Pluto conjunct my ascendant, and Uranus in the first house. I'd be much more interested in people's Uranus placement than in their Sun sign, tbh.

Leo is associated with luxuries and crowd-pleasing, so of course they'd be more likely to take it.
Aquarius, though Leo's polar opposite and associated with iconoclasm, is also associated with science and technology and would be more likely to take it on that basis.
Aries and Sagittarius, as fire signs, would be more likely to accept the risk. Kind of surprising, since these are probably the most "I do what I want" signs, but they also are associated with not wanting to be chained down, and would be likely to have gotten it simply for the sake of getting their privileges back.
Scorpio, of course, is associated with deep investigation and wanting to get down to the bottom of things; they're the most likely to have been skeptical from the beginning. Virgo is going to want the data first. Capricorns tend conservative and would be more likely to distrust it on the basis of it being largely untested technology. Moreover, those three signs don't have as much aversion to self-sacrifice as some of the others (this is also likely why Pisces is fourth-lowest).
