Doses Delivered: 2.1 Million (Weak) (90,000 J&J - low pre-pause norm)
Total Administered: 1.9 Million (New norm) (87,000 J&J - a pre-pause norm)
New People Receiving 1st Dose: 638,000 (Very Weak - but on track with the new low goals)
People Fully Vaccinated: 1.3 Million (Weak/OK)
Strong inventories on hand (72 million).
% Total Population with at least a First Shot: 46.6% (up 0.2)
Those ≥ 18 Years of Age (Adults): 58.7% (up 0.2)
Those ≥ 65 Years of Age: 84% (no change - unusual) (71.8% Fully vaccinated - DOWN 0.1 - unusual)
Cases and New Hospitalizations continue trending downward.
761 New Deaths reported (flat).
J&J continues to lag.
Biden & CDC announced new guidance - No more masks for those fully vaccinated!
Governors and mayors still need to parrot the New Party Line/New Science/Current Truth, for it to have legal effect locally, where restrictions are in place.
I’m curious what the compliance rate will be for people who got the first shot, who also get the 2nd shot. Presumably some will forego the 2nd shot as I understand it compliance for medications in general drops when people are asked to take 2 or more tablets per day. They take one, but often skip the other dose for whatever reasons.
Apparently the Red Cross said 20% of blood donations from unvaccinated people showed covid antibodies. If we presume that is a good sample size of the population at large we can extrapolate that 20% of unvaccinated people have a natural immunity.
With approaching 50% of people getting vaccine, and 20% of unvaccinated with natural immunity, we’re pretty darn close if not over the numbers suggested for herd immunity. We should see a steep drop off in new cases soon, followed by a steep drop off in hospitalizations and deaths.
Curious what may be causing some of these breakthrough cases e.g. New York Yankees have 8 breakthrough cases. Presumably they work/play/exercise in the same facilities thus a tight group. Maybe they got a bad batch, or maybe there is a strain floating out there that the vaccine doesn’t stop? Or maybe this is to be expected e.g. the vaccine doesn’t stop contagion just lessens the severity.

Your following of the data is much more detailed and complete than any of us. I guess this could come from correction of prior errors. Pure speculation but it could possibly also come from recategorizing some of the vaccination counts for people who previously fell in the under 65 group but now are 65 or older.
Thank you for continuing this valuable service.
Lies, lies and more lies.
I still have us roughly on track for reaching HIT in July. The exact point won’t be clear, but we’re already seeing a great impact. The fourth wave was a complete dud. I expect any further waves to similarly fail to materialize as the virus runs into walls of inoculated people. Local outbreaks are still possible depending on local inoculation rates, but I think we’ve seen the end of any nationwide waves.
Once we’re into July, I think even state-by-state we’ll see the 7-day moving average maintain an inexorable downward slope toward zero.
Non-GMO critter checking in....
One has to be an IDIOT to get an experimental vaccine for a virus that has a 99.85% survival rate
PURE STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!

Eric Clapton after COVID vaccination: ‘I should never have gone near the needle’

Another great outcome: no more Democrat excuses for trivial mail-in ballots. :)
Only one story on the vaccine today LOL!
But I did find a new study on prev infection and vaccination.

@EricTopol
Much on T-cell for vaccines & variants is unknown.
A @GladstoneInst preprint sheds light:
—Prior covid + vaccine -> very strong response w/ homing
—Supports: (1) need for vaccine w/ prior covid, (2) just 1-dose, and (3) marked protection vs variants”

I have no problem with folks who don’t get a vaccine just as much as I don’t care if they don’t get a flu shot. I do get annoyed by the cranks on this forum who want to ban vaccines or denounce them as “dangerous” by quoting quack medicine show “alternative medicine” charlatans, the latter of which in a sane world would be thrown off the roofs of buildings.

Lists 6 studies showing less than 1% “breakthrough” cases after vax.
Anyone else wondering if they’re lying about vaccination figures, too...?
biden, fauxi, and the cdc recommending lockdowns, cancellations of events, masks, and vaccines for our citizens to stop the spread of a “deadly virus” while biden is opening the border, inviting, welcoming, and freely spreading thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across our country during a “global pandemic” reeks of hypocrisy and proves we’re being lied to about the severity of this so called “deadly virus”...
