    I recognize you by your athletic shoes and by your silky smooth legs. Your arms look pretty hairless also.
    By the way, why don't you believe in science?

    Delta is definitely breaking through the vaccine barrier. Me and my whole family group here just tested positive.

    Delta is a game changer. The vaccine will still help it not become severe. So, I'm still very happy that I got the vaccine. Same goes for my girlfriend, sister, and brother in law.

    In another dispiriting setback for the nation’s efforts to stamp out the coronavirus, scientists who studied a big COVID-19 outbreak in Massachusetts concluded that vaccinated people who got so-called breakthrough infections carried about the same amount of the coronavirus as those who did not get the shots.

    Health officials on Friday released details of that research, which was key in this week’s decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to recommend that vaccinated people return to wearing masks indoors in parts of the U.S. where the delta variant is fueling infection surges. The authors said the findings suggest that the CDC’s mask guidance should be expanded to include the entire country, even outside of hot spots.

    The findings have the potential to upend past thinking about how the disease is spread. Previously, vaccinated people who got infected were thought to have low levels of virus and to be unlikely to pass it to others. But the new data shows that is not the case with the delta variant.

    The outbreak in Provincetown — a seaside tourist spot on Cape Cod in the county with Massachusetts’ highest vaccination rate — has so far included more than 900 cases. About three-quarters of them were people who were fully vaccinated.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, this isn't new information, conservatives have been crowing about this for a week or two. What none of them have bothered to explain yet is why this means you shouldn't get the vaccine.

    Do you want to take a stab at it? (If so, try to do it without the words "experimental gene therapy," since you seemed to take objection to being deemed "anti-science.")

    Dead people spread less virus than living. So the vaccine is only prolonging the spread of covid. If everyone were dead there would be no more covid to worry about.

    Do you know how many vaccinated who got ill with Covid-19 and died in Massachusetts? Big fat zero. All the deaths, everyone of them, came from the unvaccinated.

    Indian 'Delta' variant causes 84% increase in COVID-19 cases in children as hospitals in Texas, Florida and Missouri warn they are at 'breaking point' as the US sees 100,000 daily cases and nearly 500 deaths over a seven-day average
    • The US is now averaging 100,000 new infections a day - up from about 11,000 cases a day in late June
    • The 7-day average for daily new deaths almost doubled in the past two weeks from 270 to 500 a day Friday
    • The surge in cases is overwhelming hospitals in hotspot states with Missouri officials stationing 30 ambulances and 60 medical staff to transport COVID-19 patients to other regions as hospitals are too full
    • Florida hospitals are suspending elective surgeries and putting beds in conference rooms, an auditorium and a cafeteria to try to make space
    • One ER in hard-hit Texas revealed it is at almost five times its hospital bed capacity with 90 patients in its 20-bed ER and 50 patients on standby
    • The spread of the Delta variant is impacting children too with almost 72,000 children testing positive in the week ending July 29 - up 84% in a week
