Five under-vaccinated clusters put the entire United States at risk

CNN — A new data analysis identifies clusters of unvaccinated people, most of them in the southern United States, that are vulnerable to surges in Covid-19 cases and could become breeding grounds for even more deadly Covid-19 variants.

The analysis by researchers at Georgetown University identified 30 clusters of counties with low vaccination rates and significant population sizes. The five most significant of those clusters are sprawled across large swaths of the southeastern United States and a smaller portion in the Midwest.

The five clusters are largely in parts of eight states, starting in the east in Georgia and stretching west to Texas and north to southern Missouri. The clusters also include parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee, and are made up of mostly smaller counties but also cities such as Montgomery, Alabama; Shreveport, Louisiana; and Amarillo, Texas.

Most of these states are currently seeing increases in Covid-19 cases.

“Parts of the country are just as vulnerable if not more vulnerable than they were in December, 2020,” said Shweta Bansal, an associate professor of biology at Georgetown University.

Those vulnerable clusters put all of the United States – and to some extent, the world – at risk for going back to 2020, since high-transmission areas can become breeding grounds for Covid-19 variants that could go on to evade Covid-19 vaccines.

“These clusters of unvaccinated people are what is standing in the way of us putting this virus down permanently,” said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University.

Millions of unvaccinated people in the clusters About one-third of Americans have not received even a single Covid-19 shot – and the Georgetown analysis shows that these people are not evenly spread around the United States.

there is NOTHING correct by CNN in this.

NOTHING.

The DNAoperating Systems kill and were designed
to remove rights, and to genocide a large fraction
of the population.

NOTHING.

The so-called vaccines are putting peoples’ lives in danger, so CNN is wrong again... by design to hoodwink gullible fools.

Wow. A few Neanderthals in the South are threatening the safety of the whole world. What does CNN propose to do about that?

CNN proposes that the Federales go in and forcibly inoculate every living human being in those clusters and kill them if they resist.

And looky, looky, guess who they are targeting: “southern United States.”

The simply refuse to report the AGES of these ‘terrible’ unvaccinated people.

The fact of the matter is for people 65-years and over, more than 80% have received at least one dose of vaccine. As of earlier this week...

https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku

...there have been 596,740 total COVID deaths. Of those deaths, 473,845 were age 65 or older. IOW, 80% of all deaths were people who were 65 or older...the same cohort of people who are 80% vaccinated.

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUNG PEOPLE GET VACCINATED BECAUST THOSE PEOPLE AREN’T DYING OF COVID.

There are certainly more unvaccinated folks in Brooklyn than in any of the rural counties in the cluster

If a person doesn’t want to get vaccinated then that’s their decision. And if they get COVID then that’s their decision as well.

So send some F-15s to nuke them (us) if they (we) don’t get with the program.

So these are the communities the Fauciites will come a knockin’? I bet it won’t be in the ghetto where 75% of the residents are unvaccinated. Why do you think blacks are largely refusing the jab?

We Neanderthal-Americans aren't unusually susceptible to exotic RNA bat viruses because long ago our ancestors lived in caves along with bats.

Ignore them. They're trash. Look at what they get away with here.

I've seen many threats like that, vulgarities, personal insults and personal accusations from anti-vaxxers here. They obviously have free reign at this site.

Why would 5 clusters of under-vaccinated threaten the entire US?

What the flip is the point of vaccines then?

You never did answer whether you denied being a doctor, after foaming at the mouth over another Freeper posting “you claimed to be a doctor, LOL”.

What is it about being accused of being a doctor that’s so insulting?

I have relatives in northwestern Alabama.

Everyone in their family group has either had the virus or has gotten vaccinated.
