Quoting the outlier Israel data that wasn’t even an actual study, while ignoring the rest of the actual studies in the Uk, Canada, Italy and posting articles from 2020. Dr Tenet Ding in the house folks

when the 12-39 row is blank in the table, what does that mean?

I've been in ground zero since the pandemic first started. Not from articles, opinions pieces, propaganda, fear mongering, or anything of that nature but from actually treating the patients.

I would say about 65% of new covid patients I am treating or seen data on for the DFW, Texas, and surrounding states are people who are vaccinated. People could see that number and say "see why should I get the vaccine if I can still get covid, I'm NOT taking the shot"

BUT what is NOT being reported is a lot of the fully vaccinated patients also have underlying problems like hypertension, high BP, diabetes, obesity, which can ALL weaken the immune system and make you more susceptible to the virus.

On a positive note, the mortality rate is not high for vaccinated people right now but with the variants its subject to change rapidly. For those who are not vaccinated, but have preexisting conditions then its basically anybody's guess on what the prognosis will be.

I'm in conference calls from other hospital directors all over the country everyday, its not a hidden agenda. Cases are rising rapidly in the US across the board. Its my conjecture that the mask mandate should have never been lifted, rather you're vaccinated or not, it does not matter and I suspect across the board pretty soon it will be implemented again.

I was talking to one of my patients Friday afternoon and he's fully vaccinated but he wants to get a booster shoot soon when there is not one available. And I explained to him, that he is 64 yrs of age, a chain smoker for over two decades, and he drinks about 4-5 energy drinks per day. And I was blunt with him, Sir you're worried about covid calling people who do not get the shot "stupid" but your OWN lifestyle of a piss poor diet is why you're seeing a cardiologist & has you at high risk for a myocardial infarction.

Same can be said for other people too. And its hilarious seeing the hot takes from people on this site. You have ignorant ass posters wishing death on unvaccinated people and they do not even know what the hell they are talking about. Reading a news article does not mean anything when you do not have access to the unbiased data. It is turning into a civil war and that is not what is needed..

If the 65% is consistent in other locales, why is the public being told 99% of hospital patients are unvaccinated, giving the vaxxed a false sense of security?

The 97-99% numbers I've seen for unvaccinated tended to be time periods and regions where Delta hadn't hit yet. Where delta had hit I was seeing numbers more like 85-90%. Him saying 65% are vaccinated doesn't jive with the things we've seen elsewhere and either means that he's dealing with a very abnormal population (treating specifically very old patients only?) or that someone on one side or the other is dealing in misinformation.

Can’t we look to the UK for a highly vaccinated population dealing with delta. They’re cases went up but deaths and hospitalizations were low

I hope so, it looks pretty good there. Like I said it's showing relatively high efficacy in preventing hospitalizations (and even higher in preventing death), if you have high vaccination rates you should be looking pretty good despite what the narrative-mongerers in here want to say.

However, UK has a significantly higher vaccination rate than USA (70% of population vs. 55%) and were maintaining their lockdowns until last week. USA death rates in places where delta hit have already rapidly outpaced those UK rates.

This. He needs to drop more information because everywhere else is not seeing COVID admissions that high in vaccinated people. It’s overwhelmingly unvaccinated people being hospitalized everywhere else in my experience as a healthcare worker.

It says a lot that the unvaxed rate of growth is exponential like a motherfukker while the vaxxed growth is linear.
