![]() It’s moving like wildfire through the unvaccinated community. Nearby Maine, which has vaccinated almost 80 percent of their adults, has seen just six new cases per 100,000.īut the states with the lowest vaccination rates are seeing 10 to 20 times as many new cases per 100,000 people. That means, on any given day, only 30 people in the entire state of Vermont got COVID-19. Vermont, has seen just five new cases - five - per day of COVID-19 for every 100,000 people who live in that state. This past week, the most vaccinated state in America, You know, I think there’s a clear link between the lowest-vaccinated - I know - I don’t think, actually - the lowest-vaccinated states and the states with the highest case rates. A hundred and sixty-five million Americans are fully vaccinated, but about ninety million Americans are eligible for vaccines and still haven’t gotten their first shot. Think of it this way: A hundred and ninety-one million Americans have gotten at least one shot, including 70 percent of adults over the age of 18. The data is absolutely clear: As I’ve said, we have a pandemic of the unvaccinated. People are dying and will die who don’t have to die. That means, if you’re unvaccinated, you are much more likely to, one, get COVID-19 two, get hospitalized and, three, die if you get it. Last month, a study showed that over 99 percent of COVID-19 deaths have among - have been among the unvaccinated people. In fact, according to one recent study, 95 percent of overall COVID-19 hospitalizations are among those not fully vaccinated.Īnd the data shows that virtually all the cases, hospitalizations, and deaths due to COVID-19 are from the unvaccinated population. ![]() Vaccinated people almost never are hospitalized with COVID-19. And even if you do, the chances are you won’t show any symptoms and if you do, they’ll most likely be very mild. Now, I know there’s a lot of misinformation out there, so here are the facts: If you’re vaccinated, you are highly unlikely to get COVID-19. I want to be crystal clear about what’s happening in the country today: We have a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The best line of defense against the Delta vac- the virus is the vaccine. That’s because 165 million Americans are fully vaccinated, including 80 percent of the most vulnerable Americans - our seniors. ![]() Our businesses, our schools, our society, as we saw what happened last year.Īnd while cases are on the rise, it’s important to note we’ve not seen a comparable rise in hospitalizations or deaths in most areas of the country. What’s different about this surge from previous ones is we have the tools to prevent this rise in cases from shutting down Experts tell us that we’re going to see these cases rise in the weeks ahead - a largely preventable tragedy that will get worse before it gets better. ![]() It accounts for over 80 percent of all COVID-19 cases in the United States today. It’s highly transmissible, and it’s causing a new wave of cases. This is a very different variant than what we’ve dealt with previously. Last week, I laid out what we need to do to beat the COVID-19 vi- pandemic and the challenges posed by the Delta variant.
