In Santa Cruz County, 11 people have tested positive for the delta variant. Four are in the hospital, all of them are unvaccinated.
Health officials from seven different administrations held a news conference Thursday.
Their message is simple: Getting people vaccinated as quickly as possible is the fastest, most effective way out of this pandemic.
At the beginning of this pandemic, there was a rush on vaccines that led to a shortage. Now, the opposite problems: plenty of supplies but fewer people getting inoculated.
Santa Cruz County Health Officer Dr. Gail Newel reminded the community: "The news here is the pandemic is not over and I hope that is not news for anybody I've been clear about that from the beginning."
The number of cases is not overwhelming, 11 so far, with four hospitalizations but they are all unvaccinated individuals.
Social media sites may also be responsible for vaccine hesitancy.
Last week the United States Surgeon General called them out for supplying misinformation.
"Calling on the tech greats and other sound media efforts to stop the bad misinformation which is literally leading to lives lost in the Country," Newel said.
Since Santa Cruz is a tourist destination there is concern about national and international visitors who are not inoculated potentially spreading the virus.
"That does put our own community at risk especially those who remain unvaccinated so that's one more reason to get vaccinated," Newel said.
Three Bay Area communities are being urged to require their employees to get vaccinations.
Newel says Santa Cruz County is not going in that direction at this time, nor does she foresee the re-closure of businesses and schools.
However, all health officials present Thursday stressed the need for the COVID-19 vaccine.
"I cannot urge you strongly enough to take away that worry of getting super sick from the virus. Take away that worry about causing a loved one, a child who is not eligible for the vaccine," said Dr. Nan Mickiewicz, President-CEO of Dominican Hospital.
Friday there is a vaccine clinic happening at the Museum of Art and History, located on Front Street from noon to 4 p.m.
Sorry, no sale.
Sorry, not sorry.
Ping
What is their immigration status?
Now take away my worry about getting super sick from the vaccine.

IVERMECTIN shields the receptor against EVERY new, mutated, or bio-engineered protein.
Or, one can take every new “ vaccine “ and booster jab ad- infinitum.
What, Me Worry? IDGAF.
NOT buying it, not feasible, not believable. JUST someone trying to sell their agenda. People who DON;T do vaccine have BETTER immune systems.

Wait until the death count in Sweden goes from zero to one and then to two. The press can frantically proclaim that the death count has doubled.
I simply don’t understand why politicians are having such a difficult time convincing us to inject an experimental drug that has marginal benefit.
are the legal citizens or illegals?
Ooops…thought they said “vaccinated”
Apparently they don’t have a lot of faith in the Great Healer. My wife and I do. We have two miraculous healings to his credit just here in our home alone.
He’ll take me when he’s good and ready and, as the apostle Paul said, “...to live is Christ and to die is GAIN.”
People who are currently living in fear really need to meditate on that - if they claim to be Christian.
Statistically impossible. How stupid do they think we are?
The reply to this is-— non-significant statistical number in a “selected” demographic. IOW — worthless except for propaganda.
Nothing scientific about this— they of course cannot characterize WHO these people are clinically, heritage, genetics, age etc.
So again— worthless. But thanks for playing.
Prior to the vaccine, EVERYBODY was “unvaccinated,” and the vast majority of people who caught COVID thought it was a cold at most.
People have started to get back to their normal lives, which is why the Leftist media is pretty much rehashing the narrative, as if this was 18 months ago.
They just can’t stop pushing The Fear.
What ‘a racket’ everything associated with Covid has become.....it’s like the public has to suck it up and or die, while everyone associated with finding a solution are milking it out for the best bang for the buck.
Santa Cruz County has approximately 275,000 people. About 65,000 is Santa Crux city. Small, by California standards.
