I have to issue a retraction on this. I downloaded the actual data and it would appear that they ARE (why I have no idea) including the total population of all ages in the data despite the fact that only 12 and older are able to be vaccinated.
Looking at the pivot I put together:
View attachment 267171
Shows the sum of 13-65+ being just under 7M, and the variance of 1.1M or so is consistent with the number of children that age according to NYC census data here.
So it would appear you are correct, GWB. Pushaw's tweet is inconsistent and not accurate.
My apologies.
I appreciate you looking into this. Good job with the data set.
The bottom line from my perspective they faster we raise the vaccination rate then the sooner we can return to normal and get out of this mess.
