The Left's Coercion Campaign Against the Unvaccinated Is About To Look Even More Foolish
townhall.com ^ | 7/30/2021 | Matt Vespa

We’ve heard it’s the Republicans who are at fault for the return of the mask mandates and the spreading of the Delta variant. Well, liberals are saying that of course. It’s conservative media that’s fanning the flames. There’s more nuance to this problem and you all know. The least of it is not being that vaccinations have always been a sensitive topic in America. When it comes to kids, it’s even more intense. There’s also the aspect that a lot of people don’t like being told what to do and there is a limit in telling what adults can and cannot do in some areas. It’s a fact of life. Forty percent of New York City public school employees are unvaccinated. I doubt these are voracious readers of conservative media.

And now, the Left’s snobbery and incessant need to coerce people with whom they disagree is about to crash into the wall. Why? Well, are health care workers part of this supposedly unlearned pro-Trump cult? I ask because a significant number of them are not vaccinated. About a quarter of health care workers in the US have not received the COVID vaccine and don’t plan to any time soon.

In the old days they had big insane asylums on the top of hills at the end of the road at the edge of town.

Today we have CNN and MSNBC.

Watching those sociopath kooks is harmful to children and other living things.

This is from two days ago.

https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-health-care-workers-protest-against-mandatory-covid-19-vaccinations

Banner Health has mandated vaccines for all workers. This was the latest protest and more are planned. They have a large number of job vacancies now and people are prepared to walk rather than take the death jab.

"They are of course less well educated than the MDs and more susceptible to unsubstantiated scare stories."

Most of the "unsubstantiated scare stories" I've heard have been proposed by DOCTORS who cite their evidence and describe the process by which they came to their conclusions.

And I didn't know that the "educated" are immune to "scare stories." They seem eager to believe scare stories about climate change, Donald Trump, and "white-supremacists," among other things.

I hear that blacks are the largest group to refuse the vaccine.

I think the percentage of vaccinated blacks is something like 25% of the total African American population.

Incorrect. 9% of the vaccinated population is black. 13% of population is black. So 9/13 or 70% of blacks are vaccinated.

Not quite. Only 56% of the U.S. adult population is fully vaccinated. Of this 56%, only 9% of them are black.

You went from percentage of population to percentage of vaccinated population without thinking. Those are two different things to take a percentage of, so you can’t compare the two results.

https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/latest-data-on-covid-19-vaccinations-race-ethnicity/

Overall, across these 40 states, the percent of White people who have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose (48%) was roughly 1.3 times higher than the rate for Black people (36%) and 1.2 times higher than the rate for Hispanic people (41%) as of July 19, 2021.

I did say “and,” not “and therefore.”

I hear the chatter, though, and it’s not a product of clear thinking. It’s mostly one person trying to make another even more scared, a “can you top this” parody of a real conversation.

Happy families? From what I read, the epicenter in Providencetown was a Homo festival. Yea, let’s make national policy based on a study of people with self-inflicted deviant behavior based compromised immune systems.

97 percent of MDs in New York City are in favor of the vaccine and are vaccinated.

Can you provide a source for this?

(97% of MDs in New York City can't agree on what to order for lunch; show me that they agree on a "vaccine" that Americans are equally divided on.)

Your post brought a thought to mind:

only 9% of blacks have received the gab. That’s 91% of the black population that is unvaccinated

What if that's the point? What if the easiest way to kill off whitey isn't by physical confrontation but by giving them a shot of dubious provenance that, "oops," might just kill them or shorten their life spans significantly?

Nope. Fallacious reasoning!

Doesn't take into consideration what percentage of the total population is vaccinated.

All you can deduce is that Blacks are vaccinated proportionally less than non-Blacks.

Specifically: Blacks are 1/0.7 = 42% more "vaccine hesitant" than the overall average.

And non-Blacks are only 70% as "vaccine hesitant" as Blacks.

Beginning May of last year, I developed an Excel spreadsheet concerning the virus relying on the John Hopkins site for virus data and Wikipedia for population and political data. I have updated it occasionally regarding the virus. The April 21 tab includes Sweden, which of course is famous for having few restrictions. As of that date, its experience in terms of deaths per million beat all but 15 of our states.

For that date I also computed the average death rate for the five adjacent states in the NE megalopolis (MA, NJ, NY, RI, CT) and it was 2,560. Most Swedes live in the southwest, which means it is also highly urbanized. Sweden’s death rate of 1,365.43 is about half for a similar population density.

For 2016 you can also note that collectively the five states had one Republican governor and ten Republicans in the Congress. Makes you suspect this is a Democrat illness.

“There is absolutely no way 70% of the African American community took these shots.”

You’re correct. The data I saw last weak on Dr. Chris Martensen’s Peak Prosperity show I believe showed Blacks and Hispanics lagging. Both are under 40% hit with the jab.

Hispanics were higher and Blacks came in the lowest at around 36% I believe.

Asians were the highest well over 60%. Whites were below 60%, obviously led by terrified Democrats.
