Yes, people still don't get it, and do not understand these graphs. Since 95% of the populations in these areas of the graph, the unvaxed are dying at a much higher rate than the vaxed! Don't get me wrong, I am anti-vax MANDATE, especially for younger people who have a natural 99.9% survival rate, and a 0% known long-term side effects from taking the vax.
But at my advanced years, I'd rather be vaxxed and gain an additional 25% protection, than remain unvaxxed.
I think everyone should be free to make their own choices.
My greatest fear is that in 15-20 years we start having a huge spike in cancers, premature heart disease, leukemias, or something else equally horrifyingly deadly among the 25-40 year old population.
Me too, I am completely against mandates and do not believe children should receive the vaccine. What people do not understand about these charts, is that their are so many cases because all but Western Australia opened it borders and the Omicron variant hit Australia just as it did the USA. So that is why all of a sudden there are so many cases. But man FReepers do not understand statistics. Since 95% of the people over 16 (and some from 12), have been vaccinated, these statistics actually show that the unvaccinated are dying at a much higher rate than the vaccinated and the unvaccinated also have a higher rate of being hospitalised.
