Two of the most populous 90-percent-plus counties are Jo Daviess County, Ill., across the Mississippi River from Dubuque, Iowa, and Dane County, Wis., which includes Madison, the state capital.
Yay, Madison!
In Dane County, Joe Parisi, the county executive, said this week that a number of efforts contributed to his county’s success.... Officials strove to maximize access to the vaccine. They set up a mass vaccination site in December at the Alliant Energy Center, an arena and exhibition complex in Madison, and have distributed vaccines at health centers, pharmacies and mobile vaccination clinics.... Mr. Parisi said that the county worked with local hospital systems, health care providers, senior care centers and nursing homes to locate homebound people and help them get shots.
They did not encounter much hesitancy. “People wanted the vaccine,” Mr. Parisi said, “that certainly wasn’t the problem with that age group.” Even so, he said, fostering trust and answering people’s questions are very important, especially now that the most eager recipients are already done....
What's special about Dane County? I think it's the high level of education. Well-educated people get the vaccine. People around here who are older are educated. So keep educating the young.

You said "What's special about Dane County? I think it's the high level of education. Well-educated people get the vaccine. People around here who are older are educated. So keep educating the young." and I agree wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, our education system is a disaster. Too busy teaching social justice and ahistorical BS like the 1619 project we can't rely on future graduates to actually be educated. Have you seen the test scores and graduation rates of places like Madison and Milwaukee? Those schools don't appear to be educating anyone.
Yes, I meant to call attention to that. Note too, this other post today about the decline of true education.

Of course, a high level of education does not necessarily yield well-educated people. Given what nonsense has emanated from Madison over the last decade or so, the quality of the educated people in Madison does not seem high.
By "high level of education" I mean real education, and that's why I said "keep educating the young." I worry that what's going on today is not real education, and that the citizens who emerge from it will rely on authorities or rebel against them, based on political affiliation and assorted emotions.
