There are some serious caveats to that story.

Provincetown MA usually has a population of 3000 around the year but during July the population spikes to 60,000 due to out of Towner's coming for "bear week". I'll leave it to you look up bear week in that town. Let's just say that social distancing really really goes out the window which resulted in 87% of the positive tests being males.

They only tracked Massachusetts residents in that study (which btw may still be in pre print) so you can not really extrapolate the vaccines efficacy from that study.

In the end 5 people were hospitalized, 1 unvaxed, 2 immunocompromised, and 2 unlucky vaxxed.

Bear week? :lolbron::dame:

And of those 2 vaxxed, I’d be curious to know the ages and if either had any other health factors.

Exactly. The vaccination was not made for this delta variation. People fukking sat around and didn't get it fast enough. If enough people had gotten vaccinated, we could have stayed ahead of these fukking mutations. Now they're gonna have to start working on vaccines or boosters for the new strains as they pop up.

Too many people were fukking stupid.

Our country has such poor science literacy, and our shytty education system has been so exposed during this pandemic. I mean, I think we all knew there were a lot of fukkin idiots out there, but holy shyt.

I should go back to see what you and @Lord Beasley are referencing, but to a large degree we are in uncharted waters. Nothing like this is ever happened in modern history, and we're in basically an arms race between a virus that will be mutating, and our bodies' and our medical technology's ability to keep up with it and stay ahead of it.

The same things that have worked will continue to work. What we really needed was enough people to get vaccinated to help us reach herd immunity. I thought we had a good shot at getting there, but I guess not. Anyone that's not vaccinated right now should be super careful, and might understandably feel nervous. If anyone is vaccinated, well...it was never meant to be a way to just avoid ever getting Covid...but hopefully the vaccine does its job and prevents serious complications, hospitalizations, and death.

The same stuff that's always helped will help. Social distancing, masks, etc. I'm not optimistic on how many people will go back to doing these things in the U.S. however.

Unvaccinated people aren’t nervous at all, they don’t give a fukk about vaccines, masks or any of it. That won’t change. We will be dealing with COVID variants the rest of our lives

It's not just that though.

The Delta Variant came from India. India had that huge wave of infections and death like two months ago and the variant traveled all over. There just isn't enough vaccine worldwide right now especially the mRNA. The pharma companies will fight to the literal death to not let the IP patents go worldwide so these mRNA vaccines can be mass produced quickly and end the pandemic once and for all.

We had a very small window to get this rolling if the world was going to limit COVID down.

But profits will always remain king :snoop:

I’ve been in several different states the last few weeks and I was essentially the only one wearing a mask anywhere, and I’m fully vaccinated. I regret even going into this speakeasy bar in Michigan. One person has delta that whole motherfukker is infected.
