COVID Treatment on the Basis of Race - Horrible

 This is evil.  Allocating any government benefit on the basis of race is morally wrong and all Americans should demand accountability.

COVID Stats Part 2

Sharing additional data regarding COVID risks for vaccinated individuals.  This data comes from Los Angeles and was published Aug. 14.

Link

Highlights:

  • Case rate for vaccinated people is 66/100,000 (.07%)
  • Case rate for unvaccinated people is 4x higher than vaccinated individuals
  • Hospitalization rate for vaccinated people is less than 1/100,000 (.001%)
  • Hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is 14x higher than vaccinated individuals

 Implications from this data:

  • Vaccines appear to be highly effective at reducing the negative impacts of COVID
  • Vaccinated individuals do not seem to be a risk (from vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals)
  • Conversely, unvaccinated people are at risk, but this risk is known and 'baked in' to their decision to remain unvaccinated
  • Unvaccinated individuals pose a risk only to themselves and other unvaccinated individuals, but again these risks are known and are accepted by this population
  • Governmental or corporate attempts to mandate actions by vaccinated or unvaccinated populations seems unwise - vaccinated people are not at risk, and unvaccinated people accept the risks that come with their decisions to remain unvaccinated
