It's on page 3 of the data table. The time frame is over the last week.

19.4% for the Unvaxxed

Trending around 30% for those not vaxxed within the last 3 months.

20% for those recently vaccinated within the last 3 months.

Walgreens COVID-19 Index

I remember when I was supposed to die for not getting the vaccine.

And yet here we are

That's not correct. The chart title is Positivity Rate By Vaccination Status.

The unvaxxed are testing positive at a 19% rate among all of the unvaxxed.

Those vaxxed a while ago are positive 30% of the time versus the whole of those in that group.

Taking it your way, the percentages should add up to 100% - but they don't.

Just want to make it clear.

Walgreens has ground level data. I would think they should be accurate.

The government has a resume of misdeeds with data. It is what it is.

Unvaccinated testing positive is 23% of total tests chart on page 3

Am I out of touch or hasn't there been much if a push lately to get people vaccinated and boosted? Seems like the last push was about a year ago when the first booster came out. I vaguely remember a second booster in the spring. There's even a fourth now according to CDC website.

Have the vaccine believers given up? Have they realized it didn't live up to its promises? Are they trying to let it slip away and hope no one notices? Are they trying to hide the adverse effects of the vaccine?

About 200 persons die every day from Covid, much more than any mass shooting. And only 1/3 of the population is boosted, so the goal was never reached.

"I'm going to shut down the virus!"

As much as I love this data, I'm also more inclined to believe that the unvaccinated are also those that are less likely to run out and get a test. I know I've never been tested. The one cold I had a while back, it was over before I could have gotten anywhere to even BE tested.

There's a proportion of tests button at the upper right of the chart.

It doesn't tell you the number of tests - but it tells you the percentage of all of the tests. The unvaxxed comprised 23% of the tests taken.

Actually this table represents what newtovenice was saying. The unvaxxed were 16% of the total positive tests. The vaccinated had 84% of the total positive tests.

Our own government hasn't been a trustworthy source of health information since.....I don't remember the last time they were a trustworthy source of information on anything.

Anyone who gets vaccinated will show Covid antibodies when tested.
All vaccines work by building the body's own defenses against the disease. Any disease humans develop resistance to will sho up on a test as positive.

If someone has never been vaccinated nor exposed to a disease, they will show no positive traces of it when tested.

They can differentiate between Abs from the vaccine (S Abs) and Abs from the infection (NP Abs). So even if you're vaccinated, they can tell if you had SARS-CoV-2 or not. Not sure if this was your point.

Anyways, I'm still surprised in this day and age, people are getting tested lol.
