with the exception of west virginia(who pete hates)..the top ten "highly vaccinated" states are all at record levels of cases and most are still trending up(wait for the Christmas booster)......the bottom ten "poorly vaccinated" states are not....they might get there but they aren't even close to the rise in cases currently occuring in the "highly vaccinated" states...doesn't really seem fair

United States government official

We're eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn't have a plan to get this virus under control. I do.

pete's beloved south korea

DEC 22 South Korea is struggling to contain a surge in Covid-19 cases, reporting 7,456 infections on Wednesday and a record number of people with serious symptoms, as countries across Asia face a similar battle.

The new infections bring South Korea’s total to 583,065, while the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said the number of critically ill patients rose to a new high of 1,063.

Yes, as usual the data says you’re using a number deceptively to make it into something that fits your narrative
South Korea has a declining 14 day average of 11 while the USA has a 14 day average of 72 that has almost doubled in that time

It's insane how we still have to buy tiny toothpaste and take our shoes off to board a plane 20 years after 9/11, but 800,000 Covid deaths couldn't get us a temporary vaccine/test requirement to fly.

But we’re free

Another one not understanding what Variant means Spewing nonsense that the covid of last year is the covid of today

original covid everyone had equal exposure

Delta (B.1.617.2). This variant is nearly 2x as contagious as earlier variants and might cause more severe illness. The greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated


Omicron (B.1.1.529). This variant is 4x as contagious as delta spread more easily than other variants, including delta. But it’s not yet clear if omicron causes more severe disease.


Unvaccinated People Are Increasing the Chances for More Coronavirus Variants here in America and around the world

Don't look up

plenty of vaccinated people are spreading it now. they just don’t get very sick.

college campuses with 100% vaccination rates are seeing big outbreaks. the vaccine appears very effective at reducing severity ( which is great) , not so much at reducing frequency. especially with the new variant.

Too funny, the guy who doesn't understand what COVID means, telling people they don't know what variant means.
