Correct on the not surging…111 cases.
Nonsense on association with Trump and vax reluctant.
There are minorities and immigrants there also.

The numbers are easier to understand by looking at one age group.
For example consider the 50-59 age group.
575 of the cases are fully vaccinated.
105 of the cases are unvaccinated.
680 cases total.
That means that 85% of the cases were fully vaccinated. But the fully vaccinated make up only 84% of the population for this age group. That means a greater portion of the vaccinated tested positive is slightly higher than what would be expected from their portion of the population.
The vaccine effectiveness is essentially zero if this data is correct.
Similar US data is missing in action. Why is that?
You believe the 2020 election was rigged despite zero evidence.
There’s no message from a Democratic administration that would work on people like you, so why pretend?

This is why cases are a useless metric.
Not forever.
Just like the vaccines, the protection wanes, and delta seems to more aptly break through.
You’ve been shown this already but there is no outbreak at Cornell. They have a positivity rate of 0.27%. When you first posted this it was 0.88, which is still incredibly low.
Let us make this easy.
Say there are 1000 people. 90% are fully vaccinated.
That would be 900 vaccinated 100 not. That is a pool of people that is nine times larger.
So let us say that something crazy like all of the unvaccinated people get infected… really terrible. That is 100 people.
Then let us say that 20% of the vaccinated group gets infected. That is 180 people.
The outbreak is 280 people and the majority of them were vaccinated.
See what those numbers are telling you now?

Case counts are the basis for vaccine bullying. The unvaccinated are supposedly infecting everyone else so they are a threat to the nation.
The Israeli data shows the opposite. Vaccines are not preventing infection. COVID is an epidemic among the vaccinated.
The Israeli situation may be even worse than what the case numbers indicate since the vaccinated are more likely to be infected without obvious symptoms. The actual portion of vaccinated cases may be substantially higher since many asymptomatic cases are never tested, but are still able to transmit the disease to others.
The vaccinated may be acting like an army of modern-day Typhoid Mary’s, which explains why Israel has among the highest number of cases per 100000 in spite of its high vaccination rate.

They have 0 or 1 death per day for the last few weeks.
It makes sense that cases are going up as the vaccines wane.
Also remember, last winter, they had very strict protocols in place keeping there case counts low. They are now 100% open.
But again, 0-1 death a day…
Get vaccinated everyone.

The third shot of the coronavirus vaccine is 86 percent effective in preventing COVID-19 infection among people 60 and older, one of Israel’s leading health care providers announced Wednesday.
A Maccabi Healthcare Services study, the first of its kind in the world, surveyed 149,144 people who received the booster shot and a control group of 675,630 people who received the second shot in January or February. Of the former, only 37 tested positive, compared with 1,064 of the latter. The first group was surveyed a week after receiving the third dose.
The CDC had a website throughout Trump’s term.

Curiously they used the fully vaccinated from January and February as the baseline, not the unvaccinated.
Why would they do that?
No, they didn’t. They used July 30 - August 22 and compared the rate of infection between those who had the booster and those who didn’t.
Researchers from Israel’s Ministry of Health and several universities analyzed information about more than 1.1 million Israelis over the age of 60 in the ministry’s database, correlating COVID-19 diagnoses between 30 July and 22 August with whether and when people had received a booster. Twelve days after people received a third dose, they found, the risk of infection was reduced more than 10-fold. That brings protection back up to the 95% range seen shortly after the second dose. The effect against severe disease was even larger, reducing the risk 15 times, but the authors caution that small numbers of patients with severe disease and the study’s short time frame mean the result has a large uncertainty.
No one said covid was trumps fault. People said his response lacked urgency because he said dumb things like it was going away, etc…
Three.
Did you see why the groups with 90% vaccination rates are having more cases among the vaccinated?
Ok. The principle holds then. If not a cop out then, not a cop out now. The messaging is important or not.
VAERS is not what you think it is. Those numbers are “reports” that do not get verified. VAERS is not actual statistics.
From the article:
As shown vaers.hhs.gov/data.html VAERS welcomes healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public to submit reports to the system. However, it warns that data found on the site “may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.”
Nope saying once again, the info the general public is receiving is contradictory.
Is it “25 times” or “15 times”? This percentage changes that rapidly in one week?
Are these dumbasses in Vermont talking to their doctors?
