‘Not Supposed To Happen’: US State With Highest Vaxx Rate Sees Record Surge In COVID Cases

Vermont, the state with the highest vaccination rate in the United States, is experiencing a CCP virus surge at levels not seen since the pandemic’s peak last winter.

The number of cases in Vermont is at a record level, hospitalizations are close to the records notched last winter, and the state recorded the deadliest day and the second deadliest month of the pandemic in September.

“I think it’s clearly frustrating for all of us,” Michael Pieciak, the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation who monitors CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus statistics for the state.

More than 69 percent of Vermont’s population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of Sept. 24, according to the CDC, far above the national rate of 56 percent.

The state recorded the highest rate of hospitalizations per 100,000 residents on Sept. 30, breaching a record set on Jan. 31 last year. Eight people died of the CCP virus in Vermont on Sept. 13, the highest grim total recorded since the outbreak of the virus.

In late August, four of ten cases of COVID-19 in Vermont were among vaccinated people, according to a letter signed by 90 employees of the Vermont Health Department, including state Epidemiologist Patsy Kelso.

Gov. Phil Scott (R) lifted the state of emergency in Vermont in June when 80 percent of the population had received at least one shot of the vaccine. He has since indicated he is wary of reimposing the state of emergency.

“We can’t be in a perpetual state of emergency,” Scott said this week.

The four states which follow Vermont in terms of the highest vaccination rates in the nation are also experiencing alarming signs.

The head of UMass Memorial Health, the largest health system in central Massachusetts, said recently that regional hospitals were seeing nearly 20 times more COVID-19 patients than in June and there isn’t an ICU bed to spare. Massachusetts has the fifth-highest vaccination rate in the nation.

In Connecticut, the second most vaccinated state in the U.S., the legislature recently extended the governor’s emergency powers to make it easier to cope with the latest wave of the pandemic.

On Sept. 22, Maine, the third most-vaccinated U.S. state, had nearly 90 people in intensive care units, a pandemic peak for the state.

Dear Dr.Fauci, please explain…

Dear Dr.Fauci, please explain…

No need to ask the stooge. No guarantee that idiot has even figured it out yet.

Besides, we already got told.

A more important question, the answer to which was conspicuously absent from the article: what percentage of the hospitalizations and deaths were unvaccinated?

It's not enough to report just the number of cases because the chief benefit of the vaccine isn't to prevent getting the disease, but rather to lessen the chance of serious illness and death.

A more important question, the answer to which was conspicuously absent from the article: what percentage of the hospitalizations and deaths were unvaccinated?

It's not enough to report just the number of cases because the chief benefit of the vaccine isn't to prevent getting the disease, but rather to lessen the chance of serious illness and death.

Conspicuously absent from the article, and conspicuously unavailable, because the "vaccinated" aren't "vaccinated" until two weeks after the second shot, and aren't "vaccinated" any more--what is it, six months--after the "vaccination" "expires".

About all we can do is note that the states which boasts the biggest percentage of "vaccinated", like the nation that makes the same boast (Israel), are having the biggest "surges". And the states, and the nations, which most consistently do the exact opposite of what they're told to do, are beating it back most successfully.

More people have died so far this year from COVID-19 than last year: Johns Hopkins data

COVID-19 has already killed more people this year than it did in 2020.

Since Jan. 1, more than 353,000 deaths have been reported from COVID-19, about a thousand more than last year’s 352,000 for the first 10 months of the pandemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

There are key differences between the two years that could account for some of the shift, medical experts said.

Florida International University professor and Department of Epidemiology chairwoman Dr. Mary Jo Trepka told the Daily News that the much-more-contagious delta variant upped the number of cases, making cumulative totals much higher. That was compounded by the lack of herd immunity because of low vaccine uptake.

“So there were a lot of people being exposed, in the face of not really having herd immunity anywhere, and having the delta variant, which is much more contagious,” Trepka told The News.

In addition, she noted, widespread vaccination was not available till the spring, and this year’s biggest surge was in January, after the holidays. Also, unlike 2020, this year did not see widespread lockdowns.

“The coronavirus doesn’t really know what year it is,” noted Dr. David Dowdy, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “And the death has largely come in waves.”

Tellingly, the biggest wave of 2020 was just after the holidays, before the vaccines were widely available.

Comparing the caseload to the number of deaths is also key, Trepka said.

“The more cases you get, the more deaths you’re going to have,” she said, though that also depends on who gets sick. Elderly or medically vulnerable people have a higher chance of serious illness and a higher death rate.
