States that fall well below vaccinating 70% of adults are sitting ducks for an outbreak

Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wyoming are among the states with the lowest vaccination rates.
And for those who feel they don't need the protection of the vaccine, Collins said to think of getting doses as a "donation" to those in communities who -- for reasons like chemotherapy and organ transplants -- aren't necessarily protected against Covid-19 by vaccinations.

Thanks to vaccine hesitancy, we are not out of the woods yet. 🙁
 
There is no cra
It's not just those states. If the virus has plenty of opportunity to mutate, vaccinated people will be at risks.

It was a huge disservice to the country for the Republicans to politicize the virus.
There is no crackpot conspiracy theory or irrational behavior that the GQP will resist. It has become a party of the delusional.

How many times do we need to be reminded some folks just don't care enough about others to get vaccinated?
 
People who refuse to get vaccinated are both stupid and selfish. They should be shunned by society.
 
From Forbes:


The ten states with the lowest vaccination rates are Mississippi (34.3% of the population has received at least one dose), Louisiana (35.9%), Alabama (36.1%), Wyoming (37.2%), Idaho (37.7%), Tennessee (39.3%), Arkansas (39.6%), Georgia (39.9%), West Virginia (40.9%) and South Carolina (41%), according to Bloomberg’s data.

And what do those states have in common? With the exception of Georgia which has only recently turned blueish they are all states that voted for the jackass. Its the conservatives who are putting the brakes on a full recovery here, and its the conservatives who do the most complaining about their perceived "loss of freedom". They want freedom but are not willing to do what is necessary to achieve it. Freedom costs, one way or another.
 
Funny how the China sympathizers want to defend that government, defend Fauci even though the REAL truth has not come out. Yet they want to "shun" people who would like to wait for more information. Perhaps those of us who have had the vaccines will be learning more information that will make us wonder about our decision. Maybe not, but the moral of this story is that people should have the right to make their own decisions.
 
Notice this "crisis" is just like "Global Warming". All sort of hypotheses from the same government that told us "You can keep your insurance" followed by admissions that the people are too ignorant to make their own decisions (from J. Gruber, Obama flunky).

or "You are all gonna die from catastrophic warming unless American middle class start living like monks"

Lying, stealing elections, locking up peaceful protesters......and they act amazed that no one trusts them.

Same government that was working on the Veri-chip program in the 90s.

The same government who gave us the fony "death rate including cases like this:

Florida health official says man who died in motorcycle crash listed as coronavirus death

This from Aug 2020. Official Rate was listed around 200k at the time.

Same gov. that pimps the ridiculous masks with no scientific evidence they are useful at all.

If you’re vaccinated, you don’t need to worry if other people are. Unless you don’t think the vaccine works?

Who exactly is defending the Chinese government? Fauci doesn't need defending; he stands on his own merits as this country's foremost ID expert. Please send me a link where anyone of substance has exonerated the Chinese government-or admit that this is just more made up rubbish.

Heh heh. Don't hold back! 😂

The unvaccinated covidiots can still transmit the virus to people who have not had the opportunity to GET vaccinated: people on immunosuppressants, kids under 12 etc. Very selfish!

Nope.
I know two healthy people right now who were fully vaccinated and have Covid.
Both are checking to see if they have a variant strain.
I don’t know if the tests will tell that info.

About one in twenty fully vaccinated people will get covid. The vast majority of them will get very mild disease; a few will end up more seriously ill. There is no vaccine in the world that is always 100% effective. These mRNA vaccines work beyond the wildest expectations of ID docs. For proof look at the case counts and deaths that are plummeting in the country.
In CA they are not going to regularly sequence breakthrough cases unless someone ends up in the hospital, which seems reasonable.

Yup. Reality check.

To be fair, the data shows who is getting vaccinated and who isn't. Even White Trumpers in Alaska have higher vaccination rates than other demographics, and White Trumpers in Mississippi are about even with African American Biden voters.

 

In an update to her original story, Lama confirmed that Florida health officials eventually removed this particular fatality from the state’s running list of coronavirus-related deaths

So all we have to do is totally research all the other false claims and expose them to the world and we will get an accurate reading.

Considering all the crap being exposed about Fauci (left wing politician) the rule on government remains. "Never trust them SOB's".

"Americans in every region and in both political parties have been shaken by the betrayal of public trust ... and the dishonesty of the public officials.".......actually a quote from Al Gore.
Can anyone out there spell "Eye-Runny"?
 
Nope.

The fact it didn't work for them is a reason others should be made to take it?

I get the problem. I don't get the solution. The vaccines are out there; access is generally not an issue. Seems that in order to properly address vaccine hesitancy among minorities the systemic racism in this country needs to be addressed, and thats not going to happen any time soon unfortunately.

Nobody is going to hold you down and "make you" take the vaccine. Its still and always will be your choice. With every choice you make comes consequences. Are you prepared to endure those consequences? If not, get vaccinated.

"Technically" your choice.

Big bro is putting as much pressure as they can to "nudge" people into the vaccine booth. Like having employers require it, or requiring vaccin. to travel etc.

Much like your "choice" whether to drive a car. Bernie Sanders talks about getting the peasants onto buses and trains "like European countries" have. But even Dems cant just ban cars. So they pile on regs to make them ridiculously expensive so you wll eventually "choose" to take the bus. many young people are already obeying big brother while thinking they are "choosing".
