EVERETT — Washingtonians 65 and older, who are most likely to be fully vaccinated, are the only age group not experiencing increases in COVID cases and hospitalizations, local and state data shows.

Despite high levels of virus transmission and hospitalizations, the COVID death rate has stayed relatively flat, and long-term care homes are avoiding

The high level of protection for seniors, who are most vulnerable to severe illness or death from the virus, is proof that vaccines work and are the most effective tool to end the pandemic, public health experts say.

“If you haven’t been vaccinated, now is the time to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community,” state health officer Dr. Scott Lindquist said in a news release. “We can all help by talking to people we know about vaccination. Every vaccine makes a difference.”

1. How bizarre is that?

asked Poindexter sarcastically.

Oh, I know! Maybe all the seniors are already dead? No, that's not it.

All the idiots who think the vaccine is dangerous or not yet proven clearly has zero understanding of how things things work. Or how statistics work.

2. I'm sorry but I really dislike (even sometimes hate) stupid people. I really, really do.

I'm kinda like a racist I guess in some ways ... but it's not on race, it's against fact and science-denying morons instead

3. But then I'm a senior and only recently got vaccinated. And I've totally missed getting

infected by any wave of covid. Since the beginning I've practiced masking, distancing
and sanitizing and plan to continue to do so. Because as happy as I am to be
vaccinated I'll stick to what works.
