99.2% of US Covid deaths in June were unvaccinated, says Fauci

More than nine out of 10 Americans who died from Covid-19 in the US in June were unvaccinated, according to Dr Anthony Fauci – a statistic that health officials say is especially concerning given the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy in some regions and the rise of the Delta variant.

Maryland reported this week that 100% of those who died from coronavirus there in June had not been vaccinated, while more than 93% of those with new cases or who were hospitalized were similarly unprotected.

Cases are rising in nearly half the states as low vaccination rates are being met with the more transmissible and severe Delta or B.1.617.2, variant, identified in India in December 2020.

Vaccinations administered in the US have shown to be effective against the Delta variant, though it poses serious risks to those who remain unvaccinated.

1. "More than nine out of 10 Americans who died from Covid-19 in the US in June were unvaccinated..."

That's selling it a bit short -- according to the number in the article it's actually more than 99 out of 100.

2. Red state casualties will likely be under reported too.

7. "infected by the rest of you" is a good one

considering how these folks won't follow even the simplest guidelines for masks and social distance

[mpcamb]

20. So, if you don't wanna die...________ (It's a fill-in-the-blank question).

[IronLionZion]

22. blame someone else

[bahboo]

10. I know, right...what the hell....

26. I believe Dr. Fauci said 99.2% and it was announced that 99,975 Americans died of Covid in June

He made this announcement on Meet the Press Sunday:

3. Trump and Atlas told me to reject the vaccine.

[oldsoftie]

12. Even though BOTH of them took it!

4. Oh well

[hibbing]

5. The Republican Party continues to actively promote the virus

Kind of an odd goal to lower the members of your own party.

Peace

6. I did a FB post on this. I was looking for deaths in April-today and could not find them.

I wanted to add the unnecessary, voidable deaths. If anyone has the number I would appreciate. I googled a couple ways. I have anti vac family and I want them to at least viulaize though they will dismiss.

[quickesst]

8. Hard to believe....

.... that even this logic is lost on them..... but yet.

Neither the lives of family or friends will stand in the way of obtaining the coveted "STICK IT TO THE LIBS AWARD".
From the highest ranking repuglycan politician to the lowest paid trump wage earner, this is literally all they have to live for once all the bullshit is stripped away.

[Probatim]

9. If we end up with a very deadly variant, this country will experience a lot of deaths.

And I'm really torn with that idea.

A lot of these people are angry and gullible but at the same time they're willfully ignorant. While I'd like to see them become better educated and make this country a better place, I feel like we'd be better off without them.

18. Sadly, it might be what's needed to save humanity and the planet. nt

11. 'I cried and cried': Unvaccinated Republican assumed COVID-19 'wouldn't be that bad'

– then came perilously close to dying

https://www.rawstory.com/florida-republican-begs-vaccinated/

One of those people who survived was Republican Party of Lakeland chairman James Ring, who says now that he "certainly was dying," when he contracted the virus at a volleyball tournament where his daughters played in Orlando, reported The Ledger.

"I haven't shared this with many people, but I just spent the last few days confined to a small room in the COVID unit at Lakeland Regional Health with COVID pneumonia in both my lungs," Ring said in a Facebook post.

Ring was a Lakeland Police sergeant and has guarded military officials on trips to Iraq and Afghanistan. As a U.S. Army Reserves Chief Warrant Officer, he was in top shape.

Still, the virus took him down. He described it as if he couldn't catch his breath. He actually drove himself to the hospital, but he was afraid that he was going to die on the way there.

repukes are know it all morons. for them, something is only a problem if it effects them directly, otherwise everyone else can go fuck off.

a fool and their health are soon parted

13. Even Mark Levin, Trumper hero, said he took it.

How can they not listen to him?
He said it live on his radio show. Didnt go so far as to tell everyone ELSE to get it, but he did say HE got it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. I am not surprised....

That the deaths from the un-vaccinated continue to go up.

All preventable too. IDIOTS!!!!

[Vinca]

15. When local news broadcasts cover the number of Covid deaths per day, they should say how many

people who died were vaccinated and how many weren't. Many the science deniers would catch on if they heard it often enough.

[11 Bravo]

16. It's not often that one gets to witness natural selection unfolding in real time.

Strange days.

19. Nicolle Wallace reported today that a hospital in Springfield, MO was out of ventilators

She ran a tape of a local doc being interviewed who said his ICU was full of primarily unvaccinated COVID patients.

23. Just something to consider:

I lost a dear friend to the disease on Father's Day. He was unvaccinated. But NOT because he was a dumbass anti-vaxxer or thought that Covid was a hoax or any of that. He died because he didn't get the vaccine in time and spent six horrible months in ICU, ventilated, and enduring what my mind cannot even contemplate, dying a miserable, painful, lonely death. I cannot tell from the stats available, but I imagine more than a few of these unvaccinated dead lost their lives because the vaccines weren't available to them when they got sick.

[roamer65]

25. I feel sorry for people like him.

People who wanted it, but weren’t able to get it in time. Children below the age of 12. People who cannot medically be vaccinated or the immumocompromised who don’t generate antibodies.

I DON’T feel sorry for anti-vaxxers with their bullshit excuses. Throw them overboard.

I am sorry for your loss.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. Tell MAGAts what they want to hear

'You can't get covid unless you believe in covid.'

Problems solved.
