LOLol.....
Using a small snippet of Illinois cases.
Sorry, in the grand scheme of things, Covid is about as lethal as seasonal flu.
The overreaction and fear mongering don't work anymore.
It's not the bubonic plague.
..it's been a long time since I've seen something put this succinctly

Not true, not true at all. Look again at the Illinois numbers:
* In Illinois, 49.8% of the population is fully vaxxed, a nearly 50/50 split.
* In Illinois, 2.2% of the deaths are from the vaxxed pool and 97.8% are from the unvaxxed cohort.
If the vaccine was ineffective then the deaths would be split roughly 50/50 among the two groups.
This data clearly shows that Delta is the "disease of the unvaccinated."
Not really, it would depend on numerous factors between the groups like age, health, exposure, etc.
OP, orange you glad Trump came along and helped crank this vaccine into your hot little arms without delay? You said it couldn't be done, but he proved you wrong, much to your delight
"Public health officials have tracked 4,450 "breakthrough" cases of COVID-19 among Massachusetts residents fully vaccinated against the disease, representing about one-tenth of 1% of the roughly 4.2 million people immunized."
"Seventy-nine vaccinated residents in Massachusetts died from COVID-19, either without being hospitalized or following a hospital stay, DPH said. That death toll reflects 1.78% of the 4,450 confirmed breakthrough cases and 0.0019% of the 4,195,844 people fully vaccinated as of July 10."
Vaccines are not 100.00% effective and don't come with a guarantee. The 99.81% success rate at avoiding death is by any measure an outstanding result.
What a difference 1% makes...Right?
In raw numbers(not accounting for age bands), COVID has survivability of about 98.8%. Yet at right around 99%(and much higher for younger age groups), this required entire economies to be locked down, mask mandates, and social distancing.
Where to get an extra 1% in a vaccine that is not fully approved, has only been out for less than a year. The Government has decided to go on a big push up to and including door-to-door solicitation to check on what your vaccination status is. Media blitzes, robo texts, and trying to convince people that somehow if an unvaccinated person walks within 100 feet of you, you will get some mutant form of COVID and end up in the hospital and die.
And people don't see anything odd about this push for what according to your numbers is only an additional 1%?

But the vaccines contain government surveillance microchips, so I will not be getting one.
