It is just so obvious to me. The vaccines don't work.

Last year cases were crazy low in May and June only to start rising in July.

And will you look here.... world o meter has us up 25K cases this week in the USA. In fact, some projections have 1000 deaths for the USA per day by September.

Yet, my workplace is full steam ahead with projected start dates in September.

Thank god I have reserved most of September for vacation.

If vaccines don’t work, why were double-blinded studies showing they do work? Why are almost all new infections occurring in unvaccinated people?

It’s also obvious that the sun orbits the Earth but a little more careful investigation reveals that isn’t the case.

None of that is true. Just propaganda. If they work why did cases increase 25 K in the USA last week?

Vast majority (99%+) of the new cases are unvaccinated.

Many more articles pointing out the same common theme: unvaccinated are continuing the spread

Because the extremely aggressive Delta variant is rapidly spreading among unvaccinated people.

Yes, as of July 8th, only 48% of Americans are fully vaccinated, so there are still *plenty* of unvaccinated Americans to acquire and spread the disease. Fortunately, among older Americans - those most likely to have a serious course of disease, 75% are fully vaccinated. This is one important reason that death rates have fallen as a proportion of case rates.

Of what percentage of those 25K were fully vaccinated?

Nobody said it was. I was asking a question out of curiosity. Don’t worry chicken little, you’ll always find something to be pessimistic about.

While it can be frustrating, I think the people really to blame for such beliefs are the ones who propagate them. I try to listen to Tucker Carlson - who's supposed to have the biggest audience of any news personality (truly frightening)... the guy can't speak for 2 minutes without going off the rails and putting words in someone's mouth that were never said, making wild false accusations, and asserting dark conspiracies, all while foaming at the mouth like he's full of righteous rage. Anyone who listens to him will learn that they shouldn't listen to the evil FDA and the evil CDC, and they should ignore all mainstream information sources and any prominent doctors and scientists, who are all in on the great conspiracy. They learn that the death toll has been wildly exaggerated, Covid-19 is really not such a big deal and that the vaccines are the thing that is actually dangerous, anyone trying to vaccinate you is actually trying to establish mind control over you, etc, etc. People don't come up with this stuff on their own - they are "educated" by media voices like Carlson.
