“Ain’t nothing going to make me take that unless my life is on the line,” C.J. Ayers said of the vaccine. “The CDC barely knows about the disease, y'all trying to tell me about a vaccine y'all just threw together in a month? Nah. I’m not doing that.” What about the hundreds of millions of people who already got the vaccine and are all OK? Ayers didn’t skip a beat: “I ain’t got it and I’m OK too.”... It’s also a microcosm of the obstacles facing the White House nationwide. For all the celebrity plugs, offers of free beer, and cash lotteries, the national vaccination push is hitting a brick wall of reality. Conspiracies, lethargy and a sense that the pandemic is on the wane have intervened as the demand for the vaccine has dropped nationally from 2 million shots per day in early May to closer to 1 million per day by mid-June.
