Good news on COVID from the UK

@zantax

So you would naturally expect what? Lower vaccination rates in less densely populated areas.

Yes, I would expect that.

@WuWei

The source is wrong because the NYT is garbage. I didn’t look at the “data”.

Hmmm

from Latest Data on COVID-19 Vaccinations by Race/Ethnicity | KFF

Persistently lower vaccination rates among Black and Hispanic people compared to their White counterparts across most states leave them at increased risk, particularly as the variant spreads.

Yes - these groups have larger proportions of lower income and less educated people than whites. Is this breaking news?

(To be fair, though, even when controlling for income/education, Blacks and Hispanics are still behind)

Disparaging non-whites?

Have you missed the last 250 years of America where White people on the whole have been more educated and higher income than Black or Hispanic people?

You’re welcome to leverage what I’m sure are exemplary research skills to review median household incomes by race/ethnicity as well as the education levels of people by race/ethnicity. This may assist you in better understanding the world in which you live.

Lower income and less educated people are less likely to vaccinate. This is not debatable.

This is only good news to people who don’t want to be controlled.

You missed the point. He labeled it “Pandumbic” because of these folks not getting vaccinated. I asked if he was disparaging non-whites.

It looks the CDC is going to recommend masks inside for the vaccinated.

If vaccinations are effective, then is requiring everyone to wear masks to protect the unvaccinated from each other?

If vaccinations aren’t effective and everyone still has to wear masks, why bother to get vaccinated at all especially if you are young and healthy?
CDC to Reverse Course, Recommend Masks for Vaccinated People

The CDC can take a hike.

Are attacks on civil liberties a far greater danger than COVID itself?

Yes…and IMO…the common American is now done with their civil liberties being crushed.
