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.

Just need to wait until the next grand conspiracy theory shows up and they lose interest in this one. Since “Q” hasn’t posted any new gibberish in months, they’re all left with nothing to do but come up with vaccine fan fiction about mind control microchips, magnets, alien DNA, sterilization, and population control all being in the vaccines.
Reality proving them wrong doesn’t phase them because their perception of reality is filtered through a warped prism of conspiracies that color every aspect of life. Ergo, no conspiracy theory is wrong; every failed prediction is more evidence for a deeper and more sinister ultimate “truth”. Something will happen at some point that piques their interest and they’ll all shift to how Bill Gates and the aliens are using whatever THAT thing is to control us all. When that happens, it’ll be “COVID-19 vaccines? Never heard of ‘em!”
I do wish there was stronger reaction from the moderation team to the more vulgar and personal attacks. I’ve seen a few warnings and a few comments removed, but they’ve been largely free to call us Nazis, murderers, and all sorts of other things. That just creates a toxic environment. I mostly just ignore them and refuse to engage with them anymore. I talk with people who have an interest in learning more or who want to have a good faith discussion based in observable reality.
I agree with you 100%.
Your point is well taken.
Of course people are at risk. Millions are crossing our Souther Border with who knows what. Biden should go down there an vaccinate them if he likes it so much
We’ll see soon if you’re still alive.
They have become desperate.
Their favorite bloggers have run out of ammo.
Their favorite (De-Licensed) doctors now see there is no profit for their videos and clicks.
Nothing has been panning out as predicted.
So, like any other Leftist Hybrids, they resort to name calling and personal attacks.
When December arrives and the vaccinated haven’t dropped dead, they’ll vanish for a while, then return in hopes we all forgot.
No apologies, no peace offerings, they’ll act like this last year never happen.
As proof I offer the behaviors of the Q Followers.
Now they want us to ignore their predictions, ignore their treatment of non-Q believers and forget all about it.
Many have switched to the vaccine of course.
Many are the same cast of characters………
More selfish and solipsistic than 99.9999% too.
Yeah, so, I’m wondering…………
If all of the doom and gloom and death and limbs falling off doesn’t pan out…………..what’s your plan?
Do you have a plan?
I mean, your credibility will be smashed to say the least.
You have made personal attacks and insults.
You have became quite vile.
So when December or Jan. 2022 comes around and all is well, what will you do?
It’s like a video game to them.
An addiction to playing this game of real life drama.
Instead of hopping over a fire pit like in a video game, they need to seek out and post the most outrages Blogger and defend it.
It’s really sad.
They yearn for excitement and hate other people that live/lived real life excitement/drama.

The IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate on Saturday evening published a warning that combining mass vaccination with a spike in infections could lead to a strain of COVID-19 that will resist the vaccines currently in use.
The report recommends requiring anyone landing in Israel to quarantine, even if they have recovered from coronavirus or received the vaccine.
I would have thought that since the vaccine was developed under Trumps term the leftist news outlets would be 220% against it.
If Biden's handlers hadn't managed the greatest heist in history, the media and Democrats would all be echoing Kamala that the Trump vaccines were designed to kill us all. Women and minorities hardest hit.
It can and often does get to the point of Libel.
An internet public forum is just like holding up a sign on a street corner.
We aren’t in the Wild West of the internet anymore.
You’re projecting.
If you’re vaccinated, HOW does an UN-vaccinated person put YOU at risk?
You mean the “vaccine” doesn’t really work??
Or, it doesn’t work on any ONE person until EVERY living person gets it?
There is NO COMMON SENSE in this. None.
I am in no way trying to be disrespectful of you or anyone here.
Just wanna make the point that the Smallpox vaccine was developed and tested over YEARS before they allowed it to be administered to the public.
Why do we so trust today’s government and media (given their current track record) regarding this “vaccine” which was thrown together in a matter of MONTHS - and now we are blasted daily and pushed to take it or else...
The big point to me is: you have to really trust the Biden/Pelosi/McConnell/0bama cabal in order to trust this “vaccine”.
THEY are the ones INSISTING that EVERYONE take it.
We all have our choice (so far). Me personally- I don’t trust these folks. No way, no how.
I need to go there with someone else’s credit card.
LONDON—As the Delta variant of the coronavirus surges through the U.K., almost half of the country’s recent Covid-19 deaths are of people who have been vaccinated. But doctors and scientists aren’t sounding the alarm about the apparently high proportion of deaths among the vaccinated population.
