For today's statistics you are correct. That the article I was responding to was from June of 2021, so it was using what is considered outdated information for today. But my point was that Hispanics and blacks were under represented in vaccinations, while Biden was shouting: "This is an epidemic of the unvaccinated — a pandemic of the unvaccinated."

I keep hearing that over and over...yet that cannot be proven. Are you going on blind faith in the vaccine ?

Does this look like surviving to you?

Deaths among Blacks and Native Americans were 3 to 4 times higher and Latino deaths were nearly 2 times higher than in white populations, the study found.

A vaccine won't get a treadmill and a diet plan for you.

Why does the left hate following the science when it proves their own voter base is disproportionately dying from covid?

The racial gaps have closed quite a bit Now political ideology and if in an urban/suburban or rural area play more of an impact on if someone is vaccinated or not.

Britan is ahead of the US in terms of Omicron surge. they have not seen serious levels of death.

I think its more likely that we see this surge with minimal death tolls.

Considering that the statement you replied to was:

"...they do help people to better survive a COVID infection"

your reply makes no sense whatsoever.

Here's some science. The vaccines won't completely prevent infection, severe illness and death, but they help.
