Just 5.8% of all hospitalizations for COVID-like illness from Jan-June were in SARS-CoV-2+ UNvaxed patients --1.4% were vaxed.

Of those hospitalized & tested, 53% were vaxed, 47% un-vaxed. Testing rates were 12% higher among unvaxed than vaxed.

This study is interesting in many other ways. The CDC only counts 13 days+ second day as vaccinated. That means, looking at this, they would say ~5% of all CoV+ patients are vaxed. But if we count all people w/any vax, it's actually 19%, and vaxed are tested at lower rates. Image
3/
The question is, why are all of these people w/COVID-like symptoms @ the hospital? (I have no idea).

The way this study is done, it assesses efficacy by looking at the relative % positive in the hospitalized patients.
4/
This methodology doesn't tell us how many people in each group (vaxed vs. unvaxed) were exposed. By May, vaccination rates in 50+ were roughly 65%, so this 53/47 split among vaxed/unvaxed, may suggest a lower CLI-like hospitalization rate, even w/12% lower testing of vaxed.
5/
@USMortality has a very long interesting thread on this--but to me, there are still a lot of questions here. But what IS clear, is that in terms of absolute numbers of hospitalizations, CoV+ unvaccinated is shockingly small (at least in this study).

Ever wonder why kids routinely have higher case rates? Because they are tested at SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATES.

Here in Mass, kids are tested at 2-3x the rate of other ages. (except 80+ who are 99%+ vaxed here).

mass.gov/doc/covid-19-r… Image
2/
Kids represents 31% of the cases, but 38% of the tests--and only 23% of the population--34% vaxed.

Every other age group <70 is tested proportionally less than pop. Most are STILL over represented for cases--despite testing 2-3x less than kids. Image
3/
Over 70's are a different case. They are tested similarly to kids (likely in hospital), but have lower proportional cases. But this group is 99%+ vaccinated!

There are appx 7000 people TOTAL unvaxed (i.e. no doses) in this group. Yet still ~1400 cases every two weeks... Image

Reminder of the scale of the "emergency" here in MA that requires the wholesale exclusion of the unvaccinated from society. Orange are COVID patients. Note that hospitals have chosen not to add back the 30% reduction in staffed ICU beds from last winter

My guess is this is where we are going (FL, summer wave). Image

Parents won't.

BUT we have to MOBILIZE. We have to VOTE, and we have to DONATE to candidates who will ACT.

Let me explain a little...

W/my campaign, I have been calling large donors (R). These are the people who fund elections, who vote. You should be TERRIFIED.
2/
These people, the establishment (R or D) have felt NOTHING over the past year. They don't care that your kids haven't been in school. They don't have them, or theirs were. Their net worth's have doubled. They like the masks--it makes them feel safe, secure, superior.
3/
I asked a man today if he had any concerns. He had none (he was a large R donor). Asked if it concerned him that MA kids had access to 1/4 the # of in-person schooling as FL or other red-state kids, he said "it's a shame for the low-income kids, but it was necessary."

History may not be poetic, but boy does it rhyme.

Following: 8 pages of an article written by an NYC doctor during the peak of the gov't alcohol poisonings of the Prohibition era.

If this quote isn't enough to whet your appetite, I don't know what is.

Part of reclaiming normal is BEING normal. Think about it, your patriotic duty as a liberty-loving American is to party. We rebel from this BS by having fun. Gato was right. The Karenocracy is coming down.

Lies, damn lies & stuff the Biden Administration says.

IT IS LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE.

The 10 MOST vaxed states (~40 M) have 70% HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT than the states w/the LEAST VAXED 40 M.

AND there’s no relationship to cases (b/c seasonal).

2/
But it gets worse. Both of these groups STARTED w/= unemployment rates.

The EXCESS unemployment is literally 4x higher in the 10 most vaxed states, than the least vaxed. This translates to nearly 850,000 people who are unemployed in these states.
3/
My state, currently the MOST-VAXED state in the country for 1st dose, was the ONLY state whose unemployment rate INCREASED last month. wbjournal.com/article/mass-i….
