12. Vaxxed people are not ending up in the hospital

OVERWHELMINGLY.

I live in a state w/ a high vaccination rate... EXCEPT for in the area in which I live.


In case you can't tell, the news of this postponement has me pretty agitated.

I'd appreciate it if you could please leave me a lone for a while.

I think the point is vaccinated people are spreading it, not taking up hospital beds by not masking JanMichael May 2022 #33
Exactly Blues Heron May 2022 #37
It's actually both spreading to vulnerable individuals AND taking up hospital beds themselves. Ms. Toad May 2022 #59

Anyone who is not wearing a mask indoors is spreading it. Ms. Toad May 2022 #61
Right but in Minnesota the vaxed and unvaxed are equally likely to get it (from the post citing mpr Blues Heron May 2022 #63
But whether you are spreading it has to do with whether you are masked - Ms. Toad May 2022 #64
