Very informative article regarding Covid rates among unvaccinated.

[orleans]

39. that paper your friend is writing sounds interesting

last night i posted something about that on a du thread:

"i wonder what the vax rate was/is with cops

"i remember seeing tons of chicago cops on the news last summer without masks, (drove me crazy) hanging together in groups of 4, 6, 10, talking, blocking off jogging paths and parks so people wouldn't be out or gather because the pandemic was so bad. but they were a bunch of tough guys --they didn't need no stinking masks

"i say to all the cops who could have gotten vaxxed but decided against it, then continued having interactions with family/friends/the public -- and spreading that shit around"

the thread linked to an article about a young cop whose wife died of covid; they had both gotten covid & the cop hadn't gotten the vaccine which was offered to first responders and frontline workers on january 25 in illinois.

maybe your friend might be interested in this article for the class paper they are writing
