Vaccines work, trooferism kills

The Journal has assembled the kind of data Alex Berenson doesn’t want you to see:
In the first big test of Covid- 19 vaccines during a Covid-19 surge, places with higher vaccination rates are dodging the worst outcomes so far, while cases and hospitalizations surge in less-vaccinated areas.
There are more tests yet to come, including when cold weather forces people in the well-vaccinated Northeast back indoors. But as the highly contagious Delta strain tears through the country, the trends thus far suggest vaccines can turn Covid-19 into a less dangerous, more manageable disease.
“Vaccines definitely make a difference,” said David Dowdy, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
A Wall Street Journal analysis shows sharp geographic divides in vaccination and hospitalization levels, with every state that has an above-average vaccine rate showing below-average hospitalizations, including in well-vaccinated New England. In the South, meanwhile, fewer people are vaccinated on average and hospitalization rates are climbing faster.
The wingnut media-industrial complex has convinced a lot of Republicans that the virus poses no threat to people under 65. Problem is it’s total bullshit:
During the Delta surge, however, younger people who aren’t as thoroughly vaccinated are flooding into hospitals. In states with more than 25 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents over the past week, hospitalization numbers are at roughly the same levels they were at peaks in January, but ages are different.
The answer to this question is going to be pretty grim.
