    Delta is less transmissible among vaccinated people because fewer vaccinated people catch it. Only 5-10% of vaccinated individuals can catch it. Because the vaccine is only 90-95% effective. As it has been all along (at least similarly).

    But vaccinated individuals are not dying of the Delta variant.

    Moral of the story. GET VACCINATED

    No, we are down the list.
    No. 1 would have to be India (Trump admirer).
    No. 2 is most likely Brazil (Trump admirer).
    No. 3 is most likely some (Trump admirer) country with a large population, oh, that would be us.

    You’re right. The elderly are generally unaffected by covid. Please don’t think poorly of me for thinking otherwise the first time. Unvaccinated old people don’t count as old people, they simply fall under the ‘unvaccinated scum’ category. There are no meaningful demographics to pull data from other than vaccinated or unvaccinated. Only unvaccinated people die when they get covid. And no vaccinated people die. That’s why the vaccinated are so worried about catching covid from an unvaccinated person and dying. Science.

    Why are you so married to this opinion which has no basis in fact or reality?

    You've been proven wrong so many times. Doesn't it get old?

    The vaccinated elderly are generally unaffected by covid-19. Far more unvaccinated young people are far worse off than vaccinated old people.

    You're wrong. You're wrong because you are married to a dogmatic idea rather than seeking a science or fact based answer.

    But smart old people are vaccinated. Hence largely unaffected.

    It's mostly just dumb people, young and old, who covid-19 fixes... Because they aren't vaccinated.

    I know you know this, but it's worth pointing out. over and over again that regardless of your age (if you are elligable to be vaccinated) the only smart decision is to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

    No, most vaccinated people do not get or shed covid-19. The few who do are the exception, not the rule.

    Get vaccinated people.

    Woman who didn't want to get Covid vaccine because she was pregnant had to have NINE blood transfusions and a C-section after catching the virus days before her due date
    • Kristen Hutton, from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, didn't get the COVID-19 vaccine because she worried it would hurt her baby
    • About a week before her due date, she visited the ER because she wasn't feeling well and tested positive for the virus
    • She was hospitalized and her health rapidly deteriorated, with doctors saying she needed to deliver her baby via emergency C-section
    • Kristen spent eight days in the hospital, four of which were in the ICU, and she required nine blood transfusions
    • She is now back home raising her newborn daughter and says she wishes she had gotten an COVID-19 vaccine
    • Past research had shown pregnant women with COVID-19 were five times more likely to be admitted to ICUs and 22 times more likely to die

    'I should've gotten the damn vaccine!' Tragic final text sent from 39-year-old father-of-five to his fiancée before he succumbed to COVID after contracting the virus on vacation'
    • Michael Freedy, 39, died Thursday after contracting COVID-19
    • He chose not to have the vaccine as he wanted to wait 12 months to see whether those who were immunized suffered long-term side effects
    • Freedy leaves behind his fiancee and five children
    • As of Friday, less than half of Americans have been fully vaccinated (49.4%)
    • Vaccination rates have also slowed, despite the surge in new infections caused by the spread of the Delta variant
