52. There it is right there

May 2022

Most recently, Minnesotans who are vaccinated are just as likely as those who are unvaccinated to get COVID-19.

people have dropped almost all precautions as if the risk of dying- now mitigated by vaccines - is all there is to it. Its more than that. The more it spreads, the more unvaxxed people end up clogging the hospitals. That means everybody needs to stop the spread by all means available, but that is not happening, with now dire consequences.

The vaccines are highly effective at keeping people out of the hospital (n/t) MissMillie May 2022 #7

right, but like I said they dont stop the spread like masks. Blues Heron May 2022 #8

Now you know. Covid is what we call a hot button issue, like nukes, etc. Blues Heron May 2022 #49

Actually what I learned was MissMillie May 2022 #50

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

You really need a link? Who do you think is spreading the disease? The vaxed are. Blues Heron May 2022 #17

You said "but vaxxed people are spreading it like wildfire" bluestarone May 2022 #21

you think the hundred thousand people that are geting it every single day are all unvaxxed? Blues Heron May 2022 #25

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

I am pissed at all the spreaders definitely. Not just the vaxed. Blues Heron May 2022 #65

chart about 1/3 of the way down the page MissMillie May 2022 #24

EXACTLY! bluestarone May 2022 #27

Links - very few Covid beds in 2 major hospitals in Albuquerque - lots in emergency room visits womanofthehills May 2022 #69
