No need to put unvaccinated in quotes as if to indicate dubiousness. You retards are simply unvaccinated for whatever dumbshit reason. No doubt there so no need for quotesWow I read this same article just before responding earlier. It prompted me to look over at the UK. Delta has been dominant over there for months. This article
Coronavirus infections rising exponentially in England - REACT study | Imperial News | Imperial College London
The number of people infected with the coronavirus is increasing rapidly in England, doubling every 11 days.www.imperial.ac.uk
shares a study done on 100,000 British that determined between May and June, Delta was already 90% dominant. Sure enough, if you look at the daily deaths on google they have in fact ticked up since May. In a positive light though, the percentile increase compared to prior upward swings is now exponentially lower. Children, who are unvaccinated, fortunately didn’t die or become hospitalized with the new variant:
Covid: Children's extremely low risk confirmed by study
The overall risk of death is around two in a million children, scientists looking at England's data estimate.www.google.com
So that’s why the consideration of “who” is infected at this point matters too, and should provide a sense of optimism. If our elderly population is vaccinated, our at risk population is vaccinated or continuing to adhere to their personal safety requirements, the return to normal doesn’t necessarily hang solely on the “unvaccinated.”

When I had it about 7 years ago, it started out on my chest, about the size of a dime. Then it appeared to travel up to my right shoulder, down to my elbow, then back up to my shoulder (along tricep) and on to my right shoulder blade. It stopped at the shoulder blade and was about the size of my palm. It was an intense burning sensation, like a hot knife piercing it and a mad dog coming along and biting it for good measure. It lasted for a couple weeks. I consumed the most weed ever during this time.
There is a bit of post herpetic neuralgia on my shoulder blade, just out of reach from both hands to scratch. So a telescopic scratcher is used instead.
I can't imagine getting it on your face or panty line.
When I see my doctor again, I'll enquire as to whether I should get the shingles vaccine.

Looks like the republicans are panicking, perhaps now more black people in Alabama have been vaccinated, it's now more of a white problem. It's now the problem of the people they lied to, who vote for them and who are becoming sick and dying. Not many will die this time around, but many more will have near death experiences and quite a few will be maimed for for life or have long covid syndrome and they will vote in the future, or stay home.
Forget masks and lockdowns in Alabama, vaccines are the only way out of exponential infection.

Alabama governor says ‘it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks’ as pandemic worsens - POLITICO
Alabama governor says ‘it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks’ as pandemic worsens
“I can’t make you take care of yourself,” Republican Kay Ivey said of her state’s residents who have yet to receive their shots.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey issued an impassioned plea for residents of her state to get vaccinated against Covid-19, arguing it was “time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks” for the disease’s continued spread.
“I want folks to get vaccinated. That’s the cure. That prevents everything,” Ivey, a Republican, told reporters in Birmingham, Ala., on Thursday.
“Why would we want to mess around with just temporary stuff?” she said. “We don’t need to encourage people to just go halfway with curing this disease. Let’s get it done. And we know what it takes to get it done.”
Ivey went on to describe the shots as “safe” and “effective,” saying: “The data proves that it works. [It] doesn’t cost you anything. It saves lives.”
But the remarks from the governor grew more pointed when she was pressed on what it would take for greater numbers of Alabamans to get their shots.
“I don’t know. You tell me,” Ivey said. “Folks [are] supposed to have common sense. But it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down.”
Alabama remains the state with perhaps the lowest vaccination rate in the country, according to the CDC: Only 39.6 percent of its residents 12 and older have been fully vaccinated, compared to the 48.8 percent of Americans nationally who have gotten their shots.
On Thursday, Ivey told reporters she had “done all I know how to do” to boost her state’s vaccination numbers.
“I can encourage you to do something,” she said, “but I can’t make you take care of yourself.”
Federal health officials in recent days have warned of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” as the highly infectious Delta variant of the coronavirus surges across the country.
The Delta variant now represents more than 83 percent of the virus circulating in the United States, according to the CDC, and unvaccinated people account for 97 percent of coronavirus-related hospitalizations and deaths nationally.
Meanwhile, the White House has hardened its rhetoric toward social media companies such as Facebook and conservative media including Fox News, urging them to stop the proliferation of misinformation about the vaccine.
A senior spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a White House official tested positive for Covid-19 this week, and the Capitol’s chief physician is considering reimposing a mask recommendation inside the complex.
Asked on Thursday about the possibility of a mask mandate for vaccinated Americans, President Joe Biden told reporters his administration would “follow the science.” Government health experts, he said, were “looking at all possibilities.”

No, not a high bar. But Joe is not everyone's first choice, not that there was another clear winner in the pack. The primary process has more people deciding who tilt more to the extremes. So Joe comes with his warts and all. So holding him up to an ideal after the last guy tried to set the house on fire, I will give him some slack as long as the government is more or less functioning.

Too Little Too Late For Republicans Finally Advocating Covid Vaccines?
Months after they became available and as Covid is ravaging southern states due to the Delta variant, conservative Republicans are beginning to advocate for Covid vaccines. James Carville and Tim Miller join to discuss.

Nah, scientists will once again come in after a dictator and figure out a way to save the asses of the idiots left over when they realize the mess they made.
It is just nice that this is not like all of human history and our democracy held the line and the leading scientists who stood up to the dictator were not literally purged for making Dear Leader look bad.
We can just pick up and move forward.

This is hurting the republicans badly, but at an awful price. When their low vax red states with low vax, no masks with no restrictions are being hammered with exponential infection, all Hell will break loose. It's gonna be bad everywhere, but in some places it's gonna be a catastrophe. Joe is surging help, vaccines and antivirals to the hot spots because he can and is a normal president, but unless they adopt NPI's like masks and lockdowns, it might not help them much, if infection rates are exponential.
Some will die, but many elderly are vaccinated (and wondering about the GOP) and it's younger people who are getting hammered the most. Many 30 to 60 year old unvaccinated republicans are gonna be maimed and have near death experiences or will have family and friends who will. Such things often come with an "attitude adjustment" and a realization in some, that these cocksuckers tried to murder them with bullshit.

Tennessee resuming nearly all adolescent vaccine advocacy
Tennessee is resuming almost all of its adolescent vaccine advocacy efforts, a top health official announced on Friday, following backlash for the state's reported plans to suspend outreach.
Tennessee Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey told reporters that the state will return to promoting all vaccines for children and hosting vaccination events on school property, including some next week, after a “pause.”
But the agency will permanently stop distributing 11 social media posts directed at children by showing them without a parent, she added.
“Everything else was paused and is now resumed,” Piercey said.
“I want to assure you that the department’s commitment to immunization is completely unchanged,” she added.
The Tennessean reported earlier this month that the Tennessee Department of Health planned to stop its outreach advocating for vaccines for adolescents against all diseases, including COVID-19, sparking nationwide outrage.
The article, which cited an internal report and agency emails, said the halt in vaccine advocacy followed criticism over immunization efforts directed toward minors, including by lawmakers.
Piercey said during the briefing that the pause in outreach “over the last few weeks” revolved around communication and marketing, noting “we have not slowed down our vaccination efforts.”

It sure as shit ain't helping them, their support has been locked in and not increasing much, a few will die, but many more will get very sick and maimed. Mismanagement of the delta wave in particular could hurt them, it sure seems to have shifted the conversation and divided the right in the past week.
Here is an example, Vaccine roll out in Florida is good with 85% protection of the elderly and most democrats vaccinated, however half of the republicans mostly 30 to 60 years are not vaccinated. Covid delta is one of the most infectious respiratory diseases known and it will reach out and touch them, there are exponential infection rates in many places already. Not just vaccines are involved here though, masks and even lockdowns will be required to check this contagion, mostly among their supporters. This is about to become a republican pandemic and they know it.

Doctors blast DeSantis over COVID-19
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis has drawn national attention for bucking federal health-care officials over the handling of the novel coronavirus, but a group of Florida physicians said Thursday the governor’s push to reopen the state and block precautions are a main reason for a sharp increase in the number of residents suffering from COVID-19.
Bernard Ashby, a Miami cardiologist and leader of the Florida chapter of the Committee to Protect Health Care, said DeSantis should spend more time talking to people about the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and less time attacking federal infectious-disease expert Anthony Fauci in hopes of scoring political points.
“While hospitals in our state were filling up, DeSantis was shouting about ‘Freedom over Faucism,’” said Ashby who leads the group of 405 Florida physicians. “If DeSantis were as concerned about stopping COVID-19 spread as he was about coming up with these clever jabs about Dr. Fauci, we might not be in this position.”
Ashby said DeSantis has bragged about Florida’s approach to handling the pandemic, but he accused the governor of being reactive and not having a plan to protect residents.
“As a physician and a Floridian, I am frankly angry and ashamed. You know the Florida-man moniker, unfortunately, holds true in this particular circumstance,” Ashby said, referring to the stereotype that people in Florida do bizarre or stupid things.

Republicans are starting to back peddle at a furious pace, Armageddon is coming for their unvaccinated base in the form of delta covid and exponential infection rates back home. Masks (Oh Lord!) and lockdowns (Sweet Jesus no!) in some pretty red places are gonna be required to check delta, one of the most infectious respiratory diseases known. When the hospitals are overwhelmed (happening now in some places) the state shuts down no matter how red it is, or how red in the face the governor is. Enforcing mask mandates in Alabama, Florida and Texas will be a sight to behold, no masks and no safety measures equal exponential infection among the unvaccinated with delta. Remember, the vast majority of those getting sick from here on out will be republicans and antivaxxer loonies, the hardcore of their base.I wonder if they're going to reinstate the Dr. they fired over this 10 days ago...

Unvaccinated Americans Are Behind Rising Covid-19 Hospitalizations - WSJ
Unvaccinated Americans Are Behind Rising Covid-19 Hospitalizations
Some hospitals in regions where vaccination rates are lower prepare for surges rivaling pandemic peaks
The vast majority of patients driving up Covid-19 hospitalizations in parts of the U.S. are unvaccinated, according to hospitals, some of which are reactivating surge plans used in the peak of the pandemic.
As the highly contagious Delta variant spreads nationwide, some hospital and public-health officials said they are preparing for hospitalizations to potentially reach new pandemic peaks where fewer people are vaccinated.
AdventHealth, which manages 41 hospitals across seven largely Midwestern and Southern states, said about 97% of roughly 12,700 Covid-19 patients treated this year were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. The data excludes some AdventHealth hospitals managed under joint ventures.
Of the fully vaccinated Covid-19 patients who have been or are in AdventHealth hospitals, many have weakened immune systems due to cancer or other conditions, said Jeffrey Kuhlman, chief quality and safety officer for AdventHealth.
HCA Healthcare Inc., one of the nation’s largest hospital systems, said its data show fully vaccinated people account for less than 1% of its Covid-19 patients.

Bummer that your country has to force people to be halfway responsible, we just let the idiots run amok over here and make everything worse.
Also, I think passports are for entering/exiting a country.
