[[ Vermont has the highest vaccination rate in the country. So why are cases surging?]]

Because covid has finally reached into the boonies- and is spreading there- likely spreading faster because of the vaccines-

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out Meredith.

My theory. The vaccines ate not nearly as effective as they were hyped to be. Worse, after a few months, as little as 4, they are effectively worthless. There’s even data to suggest at 9 months they may be worse than being unvaccinated. Regardless, people who got vaccinated believed the hype and think they are protected. So they slack off on caution and preventative measures. Then they get infected at higher rates than the unvaccinated who are still being careful. It is a combination of worthless vaccines and human nature.

HIGHEST “VACCINATION” RATE IN THE COUNTRY

Seriously... when the truth comes out... don’t ask why we knew.

Ask why you DIDN’T know.

So why are cases surging? Vermont has the highest vaccination rate in the country.

"In Vermont, nearly 72% of residents are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 --"

Which is misleading, since that includes those from 5 years old, which are hardly significant in terms of need for protection, while for those btwn 30 to 59 almost 80% have been fully vaxxed and over 90% of those btwn 50 and 69 and 10% of those btwn 70 and 74. (https://www.healthvermont.gov/covid-19/vaccine/covid-19-vaccine-dashboard)

The NYT reports:

AT LEAST ONE DOSE All ages 81% FULLY VACCINATED 72%

AT LEAST ONE DOSE 12 and up 92% FULLY VACCINATED 81%

AT LEAST ONE DOSE 65 and up >99% FULLY VACCINATED 98%

Yet while I cannot find the case rate per age the hospitalization rate is highest among those ages groups with the highest vaccinations rates. Which on one hand is to be expected since they are older, yet contrary to vaccination preventing infection and serious cases. A reduction perhaps versus the hypothetical "it would be worse without it" but not prevention.

https://vermontbiz.com/news/2021/november/07/vdh-cases-surge-again-third-worst-record states,

Based on record high cases this past week, Governor Phil Scott issued a statement Thursday afternoon urging Vermonters to get vaccinated. He said in part, "The simple fact is, this pandemic is being driven by the unvaccinated, including 53,000 eligible adults. The three lowest vaccinated counties account for 25% of today’s cases, yet they only make up 10% of our state population. Unvaccinated Vermonters are up to 5 times as likely to contract COVID in Vermont and they account for 70-85% of our hospitalizations and ICU stays. Unvaccinated adults are directly contributing to the strain on our hospital capacity. Enough is enough, it’s time to step up and get vaccinated – something over 90% of your fellow Vermont adults have done."

However, since 98% of those 65 and up are FULLY VACCINATED and as far back as Sept 30 it was reported that 76% of September Covid-19 deaths are vax breakthroughs.

Vermont Daily Chronicle asked Health Department spokesman Ben Truman Tuesday for a vaxxed/unvaxxed breakdown of the 33 September deaths. The full text of his email appears below: “Eight of the 33 deaths in September were not vaccinated. “If I may, it’s important to consider this data in the specific context of the populations and overall vaccination rates. “For example, there were a total of 33 deaths (as of 9/24) among fully vaccinated people since January. This is a fraction of a percent of the vaccinated population – now nearly 450,000 people age 12 and older. This is an indicator that vaccines are working to protect the vast majority of Vermonters from the worst outcomes.

However, while 8 (24.24%) of the 33 deaths in September being among the not vaccinated and which were of the age groups most fully vaxxed does testify to the unvaxxed being most vulnerable, yet it is contrary to the mantra that vaccination is The Answer. In reality, obesity and other leading comorbidities usually related to it are the real drivers of premature deaths, but combating such does not see a response proportionate to that of Covid. Nor should the fit and healthy be required to be vaxxed, yet distancing from such who are infected even by a cold should be.

Vaccine is maybe worthless??
