Around 10,000 more COVID deaths in the last 7 days. When is enough, enough?

More broken families. More parentless kids.


And we all know the bulk of the deaths are unvaccinated folks. They let their families down due to either stupidity or arrogance. Or they are brainwashed by others who push misinformation.

How many of these deaths are from the vaccinated? It’s 2k. So 20% were vaccinated

Yep. And those 20% were mostly, if not all, immunocompromised, so basically they got COVID because of all the ****ing assholes out there who refuse to get vaccinated.

And refuse to wear a mask anymore, keep gathering in large groups, etc...

Listen to the Trumpist try to extend the pandemic as long as possible, not caring (unless it's worse than merely not caring) who he gets killed in the process.

Title is misleading. It's 8,828 in the last 7 days according to the CDC's Covid Data Tracker

we're using different sources but...

BOY, DOES THAT MAKE IT BETTER.

So if we are to accept your number, which I don't know if that is true or not, that means if we had everyone vaccinated, we would reduce deaths by 80%. What the **** is wrong with you opposing vaccinations then?

Aside from the fact that his "number" is total crap, I haven't the foggiest idea why you shouldn't accept it uncritically (the way that he did when someone else told him that they had heard that another person had mentioned that someone they knew believed that that was what the number was).

Here is the latest CDC chart that I have that is showing vaccinated deaths and unvaccinated deaths.

VAX v UNVAX DEATHS.webp

As you can see the unvaccinated deaths are in the 725/100,000 area and the vaccinated deaths are in the 125/100,000 area.

That means that the "vaccinated deaths" are about 14.71% of the total.

What would be a REALLY interesting number to have (but it simply doesn't exist) is the ratio of "people who caught COVID-19 from a vaccinated person" to "people who caught COVID-19 from a vaccinated person". If I had to take a wild guess, I'd put the likely ration in the 1 :: 1,000 range.
 
We could have been almost entirely back to normal by now if most Americans had simply vaxxed up. :(
Or...we could have been totally back to normal if the government had never ordered lockdowns - yet provided funds for vulnerable people to self-isolate.
Then, herd immunity would probably have occurred months ago, the elderly/vulnerable would have been protected and the economy never would have tanked.

Sweden NEVER locked down.
Yet their death rate per 1 million citizens from Covid-19 is far lower then America's.

I am not against the vaccines.
I got both myself.
And I wear my mask to show common courtesy in public.
But I am against the government forcing anyone to be vaccinated.
And I am against all the lockdowns.

Sweden has one of the worst death rates from Covid. Get your facts straight, and quit spreading bullshit. Sweden attempted the herd immunity approach and IT FAILED MISERABLY. Yet another Trump rasical right winged talking point completely and totally debunked.

Thank your fellow idiot conservative anti-vaxxers-they're the irresponsible morons who are guaranteeing the virus won't go away any time soon, and who are doing their best to sabotage the best efforts of the medical community. But of course 'freedom!' (whatever that even means, but your lot keep yelling it), is far more important than a healthy nation, right?
 
Being unvaccinated should be a lot more inconvenient.
Whether you're vaccinated or not does not appear to affect the fatality rate of the king flu.

The same amount of people are dying now is the same as it was pre-vaccinations. How do you explain this? The vaccinations don't appear to be saving any lives.

Post #22 applies to you as well.

If the vaccines worked the fatality rate should be at least 70% less but instead it remains unchanged. The vaccine appears to be more of a placebo than anything else.

Utter nonsense, and you know it! Fact remains the vast majority of those hospitalised with Covid are the un-vaccinated.
