[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Headline from the Washington Post: “In highly vaccinated New England, hospitals are under unprecedented strain as coronavirus surges”

In the [i]14th paragraph[/i] we finally read: “Doctors in the region all said that a substantial majority of the patients currently hospitalized with covid — between 60 percent and 80 percent — were unvaccinated. The breakthrough cases that end up in the hospital tend to be milder and are concentrated among older patients and people with other health conditions, they said.” Well, huh. You’re telling me that it’s the unvaccinated idiots who are filling hospitals in a well-vaccinated area and you don’t bother to indicate that in the headline or until [i]halfway[/i] through the article?

And this is a fairly centrist source, but they’re still carrying the GOP’s water and allowing them to pretend that this surge isn’t being driven by mouth breathers (some of whom will be breathing via a tube soon).

60% vaccinated means that 40% (that’s almost half!) of the hospitalizations were vaccinated people. That really doesn’t fit the narrative of vaccines being so wonderful and worth all the risks for everyone no matter what. That’s why they hid it in the 14th paragraph. It seems like they needn’t have worried though, since evidently their target readership will believe the narrative no matter what the data says…

And LOL at wapo being a “fairly centrist source”. Seriously LOL.[/quote]

These states have vax rates in the mid to high 70s.  If the 40% is coming from the 70ish percent that are faxed, and the 60% is coming from the 20ish percent that is not vaxed, that indicates the vax is working very well.  [/quote]
