Apparently CNN is lying again
NJ is 2nd in the national for total Corvid deaths
They have a 71% vaccination rate
And digging deeper into the stats NY, RI, and MA, are all in the top 10 as well has having high vaccination rates
But hey never let the facts get in the way of the propaganda CNN.
Apparently they averaged the ten highest and the ten lowest, to get an outcome they liked.
Part of it may be that the Delta wave raged hard in the South over the last couple of months, but now it dropping there, but still picking up in States further North. Likely in another month or two, the results of such averaging will be different.
Vaccination is a factor, but they used statistics to make it look like a bigger deal than it may have been.
