Overall, #COVID19 hospitalizations are showing a slight downturn, but pediatric cases are again rising. 4/4

Because some people keep posting the same crap, er, misinformation, this current crisis is driven by the UNvaccinated, who make up the overwhelming majoring of new cases, hospitalizations, deaths.

There is a reason the Northeast, which has done a phenomenal job with vaccinations, is faring MUCH better in the current wave than the South. If the B.S. were true about vaccinations driving the surge, the Northeast would be fiery red. #StopIt #GetVaccinatedNow

Also, Tennessee's status leading the country in #COVID19 cases is NOT due to vaccines. We are 46th in the percentage of adults fully vaccinated.
46th!
