if, as Diana suspects, many, many islanders decline to be injected, will those who are bullish on the injections continue to come to the island anyway ?
With the French Vaccination Passport, many things are possible.
+2 :up:+1 :up:
Wasn't it stated in the local paper or some other source that the island needed to reach a 50% vaccination level to be considered for re-opening? The details here may be a little off but I guess what I have been trying to figure out is what will happen if the island doesn't reach whatever figure was discussed? Does it stay "closed" and only allow vaccinated people to come here to be attended to by many non vaccinated working folk? Is there any thought or knowledge from anyone if the people who don't want the vaccine are mostly elderly local people or are a number of younger people not interested in getting vaccinated as well? Any thoughts?
facts :
according to Le Journal de St Barth (unless they're incorrect, again) :
- 684 people came to the vaccination center in 2 days. (despite the 2-3 heavy rain passages we had today)
- the center has a capacity of 400/day
- an average of 340/day, gives 5440 for 16 days, until May 7
- plus the 900-something already vaccinated
total : 6340
This is over 60% of the population.
better than Israel, who is back to normal life with under 60%.
Opinions :
happy to have received my 2nd dose yesterday,
I have the feeling to participate to my protection, the protection of my family and relatives, and to the global protection,
from local people I know (I know a lot, but, please no need to play games), opinions are :
some against vaccine, some hesitant, most want to get the vaccine ASAP.
Go St Barth !
I hope this will work and numbers keep up.
Haven't many already been vaccinated though? 300 who were willing to wait on line sounded pretty good to me on top of what has already been given out, but I'm no expert.
I know by me, that a lot of people that were originally against getting vaccinated ended up getting it after seeing family members and people they know get it. The % of holdouts I guess (from what I read, no personal knowledge) will be greater on St Barth, but it may not be as large as some are/were portraying. ray1:
Cancel culture. You can’t have an opinion anymore.I think you missed my point Rosita. I am happy that you have the freedom to post your pic on facebook or anywhere else that you want about getting vaccinated. I am happy that you are vaccinated because that is what you choose to do.
I am sure you also know plenty of people in st. barths that are not getting the vaccine, most likely some of your relatives.
My point is that the people who make a different choice may have the same freedom to post that they are not getting the vaccine, but if they do, then they get derogatory comments or someone stops coming to their business.

Hi Cass, nobody in particular,
I just meant : no need to debate on the amount of locals we each know,
because for the last few days/weeks here, "locals don't want the vaccine" was often stated
After they saw things went smooth and easy the last 2 days,
3 originally hesitant locals told me this morning they were on their way to take the plunge.
@JEK : my pleasure
