Make it through Elsa ok?
So, Delta is taking over in many states. States that don’t have anywhere close to our level of vaccination, and in many cases are now full-on YOLO when it comes to precautions.
I guess we can stand back and watch now and see how it goes for them.

The Delta variant is now dominant in the U.S. See the states where it's most prevalent
The Delta variant now accounts for more than 80% of cases in the Midwest.

Israel to examine 3rd vaccine dose for people with impaired immune system
Pfizer has not yet sanctioned booster shots, but there is concern vaccine less efficient in protecting such individuals, Kan reports

Well, I know that was tongue in cheek, but I was also just reading another article about how bad the vaccination rates are across a cluster of southern US states. The Bible Belt.
It’s going to be an interesting few months ahead watching as delta does it’s thing. If it all goes well regardless of vaccination rates in the 40% range across many of those states, we’ll, it bodes well for us in the months ahead.
The biggest risk now is someone in these areas breeding a new / worse variant.
I am sure the next step, when it happens, will be to require proof of vaccination for anyone entering the country, just like many other countries have done. I just wish we had signed onto the EU's system instead of bodging it into the ArriveCan app due to "not invented here syndrome".

I'm hearing anecdotally about hospitals in Missouri seeing high demand: Missouri hospital turns some COVID-19 cases away
But it doesn't seem to be reflected in case numbers: Missouri COVID: 626,126 Cases and 10,114 Deaths - Worldometer
Sure, there's an increase (2.5 times higher over the last month) but the number of cases is a fraction of what it was in the Nov-Dec 2020 peak.
What's going on? Deniers/antivaxxers not seeking treatment until they have no choice (i.e. the real number of infections is much higher)?
The number of deaths is still remaining low ... but given the time lag, the onset of delta variant may not be felt yet.
Even though the total percentage vaccinated is lower than average, it would still be the elderly folks with the highest vaccination rates.

We already have the Lambda variant from peru in canada... its never going to end in a todays global economy.
Never gonna end car crashes either, but it doesn’t mean we stop wearing seat belts and try to minimize the effects if one happens anyways.
Anyhow, another relevant story about the US’s risks right now.
30% vaccination rates in over 1000 counties across many states is useless against the variants.
U.S. heading for 'dangerous fall' with surge in delta Covid cases and return of indoor mask mandates
My invisible friend will protect me
Sadly many believe that.
We have a few friends from a state that’ll remain unnamed (but is in this mostly unvaccinated area) on Facebook from a past cruise. Nice people, they were a ton of fun on the ship, however firmly in the “God will protect us!” category about all things Covid for the last year.
They’re against the vaccinations since Trump (their favorite guy) sowed doubt, and since Biden says the shots are a great thing, of course they’re bad.
They just both posted on Facebook a few weeks ago about both having Covid. Lots of though and prayers comments followed.
They’ve recovered, but no word on FB about God having failed them. Funny how that never happens. Now is all about how God “healed them”.
I expect to have a 3rd, 4th, and more shots as these variants continue.Also - we may see a 3rd 'recommended' dose for certain demographic locally...similar to what Israel is doing

This will become the same as the continually evolving flu with booster shots required each year. Many will die, as with the flu, but many will be vaccinated and be fine.
I’d just prepare for a lifetime of shots, frequency to be dependent on science of course.
I wonder how these people reconcile that Trump and a lot of the right wing talking heads that spread doubt have received the vaccine
Formula too complex error
You lost them at "reconcile".

The supreme ruler would never betray them like that. It’s the left wing media spreading misinformation.
You don't know the stock response? god (I refuse to capitalize that hooey) works in mysterious ways.
The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations—We Should Rethink the Policy
Background: COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits. Method: We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) from a large Israeli field study to prevent one death. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)...www.mdpi.com
I just remembered this earlier discussion and decided to follow up on it. The originally-quoted paper has been retracted.
RETRACTED: Walach et al. The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations—We Should Rethink the Policy. Vaccines 2021, 9, 693
The journal retracts the article, The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations—We Should Rethink the Policy [...]

"The authors were asked to respond to the claims, but were not able to do so satisfactorily. The authors were notified of the retraction and did not agree." ... probably means those authors are now on the crackpots list ...
That paper's author, Harald Walach, also has another problematic paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association. While that journal seems reputable, the paper has a bunch of holes in it as well.

The comments section for that letter are interesting. Peer review at work.
