Coronavirus infections dropping where people are vaccinated, rising where they are not, Post analysi

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

States with higher vaccination rates now have markedly fewer coronavirus cases, as infections are dropping in places where most residents have been immunized and are rising in many places people have not, a Washington Post analysis has found.

States with lower vaccination also have significantly higher hospitalization rates, The Post found. Poorly vaccinated communities have not been reporting catastrophic conditions. Instead, they are usually seeing new infections holding steady or increasing without overwhelming local hospitals.

As recently as 10 days ago, vaccination rates did not predict a difference in coronavirus cases, but immunization rates have diverged, and case counts in the highly vaccinated states are dropping quickly.

Vaccination is not always even within each state, and The Post found the connection between vaccine shots and coronavirus cases at the local level comparing more than 100 counties with low vaccination rates (fewer than 20% of residents vaccinated) and more than 700 with high vaccination rates (at least 40% vaccinated).

1. At some point, it ought to be clear, if you catch covid, it is your fault.

Insurance companies ought to be driving this. No vaccination, you pay for your foolishness.

6. YES!

As long as the person is medically able to receive the vaccine. We shouldn’t penalize those who cannot receive it for valid medical reasons. We are getting vaccinated to protect those folks.

2. Wow. Didn't see this coming. I wonder why this would be?

In my town, about 21% vaccinated and the Covid death count, which actually held at zero for a few weeks, is back on the march.

3. I know, it makes no q-sense.

Everyone knows that this is the opposite of what happens..places with less vaccines have lower case counts, because it's the vaccine that gives you coronavirus duh derp derp.

Must be the deep state reversing the numbers on
behalf of CHY-NA.

4. Sure, but

what about the dramatic increase in people finding forks and spoons stuck to their faces in states with higher vaccination rates, huh? Why aren’t these so-called scientists investigating THAT, huh?????

5. The Delta variant is going to hit the unvaccinated -- hard.

But experts worry that unvaccinated people are falling into a false sense of security as more transmissible variants can rapidly spread in areas with a high concentration of unvaccinated people who have abandoned masking and social distancing.

Nationally, 43 percent of eligible Americans are fully vaccinated, and the country is averaging under 16,000 new infections a day — levels not seen since the early days of stay-at-home orders in March 2020. Ten states, concentrated in the Deep South and rural West, report fewer than 35 percent of residents are fully immunized.
