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.

Not a bombshell to me at all.
I was vaccinated with smallpox vaccine in Kindergarten in India. At age 8 I was exposed to a big load of smallpox virus from an infected person and became sick. I owe my survival and recovery to the vaccine which may have created some anti-bodies to fight off the virus.
Vaccine DOES NOT CREATE A PLASTIC AIR TIGHT BUBBLE around you. If you are exposed to a heavy load of virus, you will most likely get sick. The difference is, as Tom Selleck says in his commercial, is how your body is prepared to fight it. Vaccine is just one method. Vitamin D is another. Keeping lungs strong with daily exercise is another (that is what I am doing at age 81).
“What is it about being accused of being a doctor that’s so insulting?”
*****************************************************
Look, I don’t think Doctor Jill considers it an insult.😀
Not a surprise to me. Big cities are over-represented by democrats.
I would have thought that since the vaccine was developed under Trumps term the leftist news outlets would be 220% against it.
For all their hootin' and hollering it's basically the black community that's not getting vaccinated.
yes, and thank God I have a thick skin. I just let the insults fly right over my head and keep posting my FIRST HAND experiences with viruses and vaccines.
I had smallpox vaccine in kindergarten in India at age 5 or so.
That did not prevent me from catching smallpox at age 8.
May be it was the vaccine which enabled my body to fight the virus and survive. Small pox has mortality rates north of 30%.

CNN, as usual, has an idea. Just not a very good one.
If Trump was still in office, that would be a meta-physical certainty.
Democrats will never lose an opportunity to exploit anything which could benefit the people, even if it originated under a republican.
Let’s assume it’s possible this was a bioweapon...
And that the Chinese only steal the best... (Ok it’s possible they designed it...)
And that it was designed with a ‘one two’ punch. Like a Bin Laden attack - where one bomb goes off - then another 20 minutes later another one to kill first responders.
In short - evil... evil weapon, evil minds behind it, evil outcome.
If that’s possible the best defense is to allow human cultures to take on the risks they choose. For all we know when the next Chinese ‘accident’ happens it’ll be the second part of the first release - and all people vaccinated will die. (Yes, the Chinese knew Western cultures would come up with a vaccine... and what that would include)
Not likely - but possible. The ‘20 minutes’ later effect...
At the end of day, your own common sense is your best weapon. Deploy it frequently.
All BS. Too bad you’re gullible to believe it.

Incase nobody else posted this yet(at work and not scanning well).😄
Wow. India and smallpox. Quite some experiences there. I was vaccinated for smallpox twice—once as a child and once in the Army.
.......lol, it never ceases to amaze me how people like Cohen and Bonifield fail to “get it” that 80 million people see CNN on the biline and because after years of lies by CNN they have absolutely ZERO confidence in them as a news source ergo they won’t/don’t read their article.
CNN has committed “credibility suicide”.
Do they give a damn about that?
New reports of hemorrhagic fever in some of the Venezuelans crossing over... and Fauci doesn’t care. And Georgetown doesn's care....
Seems for thugs on the left the ‘fun’ is in bullying American citizens - NOT in saving their lives.
I am doing great for a gullible person. More educated than 95%, healthier than 95%, richer than 95%, and raised 2 kids with great results. If that makes me gullible, I am fine with it.
