Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Did you leave out the part where you find these numbers absurd?

 

They should be a lot higher. Figured that was obvious.

 

They are … guinea pigs?

 

Why do you think they're not?

 

I don't think 70% even matters with that lot. It could be 85% and there will still be some Pentecostals where the dudes look normal and the girls might as well be wearing beekeeper outfits. That group is well out of the mainstream and probably only a minimal infection threat to the populace as a whole.

 

National average is above 50%.
The state health director brags about the state’s pathetic rate.
Imagine being so stupid and afraid of being called a libruhl that you refuse a free and easy means of protection from a deadly disease just to make a point. And you get the seal of approval from the state.

 

You mean, like condoms?

 

Paul Finebaum, of course ...

 

Ok now how about a serious answer? Why do you think a majority of rural Missouri residents are refusing to get vaccinated? And do you agree with them?

 

Would you lighten the fuck up? They're stupid. What the fuck else do you want me to say? Does their refusal to get vaccinated speak to my beliefs regarding progressive taxation? Civil asset forfeiture? Who invented liquid soap and why?

 

A lot of the county-level CDC data are sketchy. Dozens of Virginia counties, for example, have vaccinations rates < 4 %. I suspect that's because they have issues confusing place of vaccination with county of residence, etc. Texas refuses to release county-level vaccination data at all. Because they're Texas, I suppose.
Because so much of the population lives in relatively few places -- one of every five Americans lives in the 25 most populous counties -- only about 10% of the jurisdictions in the data are above the national average of 53.6% with one or more doses. Having said that, I think it's somewhat telling that exactly zero counties in Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee are at or above the national average.
There's one Georgia county at that level, but its numbers are suspect. CDC says Chattahoochee County has a 99.99% vaccination rate because 27,754 people have gotten one more doses in a county of 11,000.
There is one Louisiana parish (pop. 15,568) above the national average.
Florida is slightly better, but you'd have to expect that with such an elderly population.
A portion of the country is playing politics when it should be thinking of its health. And that portion is already the least healthy in the country.
