Very informative article regarding Covid rates among unvaccinated. [View all] Ninga May 2021 OP

As I would expect zaj May 2021 #1

Yep. They do and they will. Thankfully. Ninga May 2021 #2

The reservoir for the 'rona is human. Hugin May 2021 #4

I guess the moral of the story is, if you aren't vaccinated, LisaL May 2021 #5

The only way that's going to stop is by attrition plus illness acquired immunity among the Scrivener7 May 2021 #6

Yep, you can bring the anti-vaxxer / republican to data, but you can't make him think. Reality Primate May 2021 #41

DUzy! Welcome to DU, Reality Primate. JudyM May 2021 #58

I'm not sure that Covid illness acquired immunity is a slam dunk. I know of 3 people who had Covid Ninga May 2021 #8

Probably because different variants are now circulating. LisaL May 2021 #9

Wow. And yet they say that immunity after having it plus a vaccine is pretty much a guarantee Scrivener7 May 2021 #10

The guarantee is that you won't get the original variant. LisaL May 2021 #36

None of the people I know who had it twice have been vaccinated. Ninga May 2021 #54

I have questions stopdiggin May 2021 #52

Welp anything is possible. I only know what they or their family told me. Ninga May 2021 #55

My worry is the unvaccinated become a kitchen for cooking up new variants. paleotn May 2021 #24

Honestly, so long as it remains low among the vaccinated, I'm a shrug on this greenjar_01 May 2021 #11

Problem for the vaccinated, is the unvaccinated provide a pool for mutations. Pobeka May 2021 #13

This needs to be made clear. rgbecker May 2021 #18

so far -- that seems to be exactly what we are seeing stopdiggin May 2021 #53

Bingo. paleotn May 2021 #29

Plus they threaten those with weak immune systems spinbaby May 2021 #46

I've said in the past... "screw-em, I'm vaccinated", but... mac2766 May 2021 #16

that paper your friend is writing sounds interesting orleans May 2021 #39

The daily count of new Covid cases is exactly the same as May 2020, around 20,000 cases daily liberal_mama May 2021 #17

And society is doing much less to protect them Johonny May 2021 #25

The medical world has gotten better at treating Covid. So less people are dying mucifer May 2021 #50

The last two paragraphs of the article in hte OP say it all csziggy May 2021 #19

There might be three societies. Mickju May 2021 #56

Social media's driving it and that's both an amazingly inexpensive Hortensis May 2021 #64

I'm glad there was mention of the **RACIAL DISPARITY** in vaccinations, however fleeting the mention progree May 2021 #22

Here's some reason for the disparity (it's not about disproportionately being idiots or aholes) progree May 2021 #26

Unless people work 24/7, you can get vaccinated on Saturday or Sunday. LisaL May 2021 #32

Nowhere on my list did I say that it's hard to find a place to get vaccinated progree May 2021 #35

If they get covid, they will be presumably needing more time off work than a few days. LisaL May 2021 #38

But POC are unvaccinated at a higher rate than whites, and #26 is all about reasons progree May 2021 #40

Does that make policies that refuse admission to those not vaccinated unintentional discrimination ? MichMan May 2021 #43

Such policies would unarguably disproportionately affect POC, as long as they are disproportionatly progree May 2021 #48

Why do so many keep posting that they are all RW anti science Trumpers that are unvaccinated ? MichMan May 2021 #42

Ideology. It doesn't fit our "progressive" memes that POC are less vaccinated, and its easier progree May 2021 #44

Obviously not all, but LisaL May 2021 #45

All of the reasons in post #26 except the reference to Tuskegee, could apply to any ethnicity MichMan May 2021 #47

But all the reasons in #26 DISPROPORTIONATELY affect people of color (except fear of needles) progree May 2021 #51

I'm not at all surprised. MineralMan May 2021 #27

Yes, and give it time, of course. Hot spots of unvaccinated social clusters Hortensis May 2021 #62
