[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Man oh jeez can we get some nuance in discussing the issue of the unvaccinated poor Black people in  Ward 7 and 8?  [/quote]

[b]I was just looking at the data on this and the issue is not really adults in those wards,[/b] but younger people (especially children). Less than 10% of the 12-15 year olds in those wards are vaccinated. They are over 50% for the 50 year olds and up. Most of the city is doing poorly for 17 year olds and under. The problems that schools are going to face are not unvaccinated teachers, but unvaccinated students.

Is this a joke? Look at the numbers. 33 percent of Ward 8 residents ages 18 and above are fully vaccinated. That's horrendous. That's lower than the vaccination rates in places like Louisiana and Mississippi. And it comes despite all the efforts of the city to get people there vaccinated. Kids are not the problem here. It's adults. All the evidence is that teachers are a far bigger danger to kids in schools than kids are to teachers. [/quote]

The numbers at the lower end of the age span are prejudicing the stats. Did you read my entire post? There is a real drop off below 30 but especially over 50 they are doing much better. Also, why are you comparing two wards to entire states? I am sure there are pockets of those states that are lower than the two wards.
