Well north of half of floridian’s have received at least one shot.
It's almost as if someone has a dog in this fight, and doesn't want us to know whether the vax is making a big contribution to the safety of Floridians. I have read that about 1 in 10 Floridians have had it so far. I'm guessing about 1/2 my extended family there (nephews, in-laws, etc.) have had it. One died about a month ago, and one yesterday (both unvaxed elders) and we think 5-7 more recently had it (the deniers aren't real forthcoming when they, or their kids, go down with it).
Unambiguously, the vaccine saves lives. My wife is reading a post by a UAB ICU doc. Almost all of the patients in their ICU are unvaxxed and many will die. Over half are less than 50. The vaccinated ones are all immuno-compromised
Vaccinations don't stop nor was it ever said it would stop anyone from catching the virus but it keeps you alive when you do... If you want to live take the shot... I'm tired of the "I wish I had taken the shot" on my death bed videos....You are aware
You must not realize there were 8 NCST players who tested positive for Covid.
Four had been vaccinated
8 Wolfpack baseball players tested positive for COVID-19 Delta variant, NC State officials say
NC State administrators explain what really happened--how many players tested positive, how many were vaccinated, etc.--before the team got kicked out of the College World Series.abc11.com
Are they unvaccinated as in zero vaccine or unvaccinated as in one dose, or not yet two weeks past the second dose?

I’m sure the folks in Indonesia are taking their marching orders from CNN.
I’m confounded as to why that matters when there is a mountain of overwhelmingly convincing data that the unvaccinated are the ones in far more danger of getting extremely sick, overwhelming hospitals, and dying.
Duval is at 52% cumulatively across all groups but that's a number from a few days ago.
Huh? I was responding to a non-vaxer. To answer your question, because people have lost sight of themselves in a pretend debate and are fools to ignore overwhelming data and the immeasurable work being done to protect them, and instead just want to be “right” about something. People should get vaccinated, right now.
Wrong.

Sir, Even your proof isn’t proof. It states clearly that you won’t find yourself in ICU, Hospitalized or Die from the virus and that’s consistent with my comments. Fake News!!!Wrong.
AP FACT CHECK: Biden goes too far in assurances on vaccines
President Joe Biden is offering what sounds like an absolute guarantee: If you're vaccinated, you won't get COVID-19. You won't end up in the hospital or die from it.
You're quoting a non-science person.Wrong.

Lots of people are saying things they claim are "based on science" 🙄
yep but 95% of people 65+ in Duval have had at least one shot and 82% are fully vaccinated basically right in line with most every large county in florida.
Yeah, in all this craziness, sarcasm doesn't work anymore. I'm actually not at all confused.
In terms of natural immunity, I caught Covid shortly after the Super Bowl here in Tampa (no regrets on celebrating that win) and in July as part of routine blood work, they said I no longer had any antibodies. I was shocked and thought maybe the test was wrong so we did another test and sure enough in less than 5 months I had no natural antibodies.
Incorrect. A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others. However, the risk for SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated people cannot be completely eliminated as long as there is continued community transmission of the virus. Data is still being analyzed but things are looking good.
Bottom line push all political agendas aside, time we start looking out for one another and we can't if we got crazies on both sides of the political spectrum. It's harsh for me to say but, outside of children who can't and those who are immune compromised, if you get covid and are not vaccinated don't come to the hospital. Save those beds for those who need them. Many will disagree but 2020 has shown us ourselves, survival of the fittest! I care about people but, no longer have time for crazy idiots. Not every red cap wearing person is racist, just like every person who voted opposite likes cancel culture. Those of us who still got enough sense to draw the line at our children put down stupid pride, conspiracies and our fears and do whats right.
I want to hug you. But considering the current climate you will have to settle for a simple “thank you!”
Those who are vaccinated can still transmit covid. It's not smallpox.
Not entirely true. Things recently changed, and it's a good thing! How much it can be transmitted by vaccinated people is still TBD. That said, A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2 or to transmit it to others. However, the risk for SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated people cannot be completely eliminated as long as there is continued community transmission of the virus. Data is still being analyzed but things are looking good.
Did you ever test positive for antibodies? Or just test positive for covid?
Fair enough.is the CDC parsing words?
COVID-19 Vaccination
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html
Unvaccinated people refers to individuals of all ages, including children, that have not completed a vaccination series or received a single-dose vaccine. At this time, there are limited data on vaccine protection in people who are immunocompromised.
Members of the household who are unvaccinated include: any persons who have not completed vaccination, who cannot be vaccinated, and those who are not eligible for vaccines, including children less than 12 years of age.
