DON'T PANIC YOU MASK-A-HOLICS
William Mattox reports, in the Wall Street Journal, on a happy development in Florida: Children in school districts that mandate masks have been given greater access to school choice in the form of (as Mattox describes it) “a Hope Scholarship that allows them to attend another (public or private) school of their parents’ choosing.” A slice:

Your graph is yet more good evidence that the vaccines work.
Are other factors also at play? Heck yes. For one, those grey dots in the lower left are the mountain states and the upper Midwest: mild summer weather and high rates of past infection.
I just hope vax rates there go up before people head inside as it gets cold and dark.

Lol!! From Hawaii to Cali to Florida the Maskophiles are reinstating post-vax restrictions for IFR's of .0019, .0037, .0057 respectively. Vaccines working?
Look at your graph.
That is a very strong negative correlation. 50 data points, none of them in the entire NE quadrant.
P value for that is under 0.001 - an order of magnitude beyond highly significant.
So, yes, your graph is good evidence that high vaccination rates reduce hospital admissions.
Los Angeles mandating vaccination proof to enter indoor public spaces
"I Loved LA, no more."
The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to instruct the city attorney to draft an ordinance that would require at least one coronavirus vaccination dose in order to visit restaurants, gyms, spas, stadiums and other public spaces. ((No more LA for me))
"We need to stop fighting the science and start fighting the virus," O’Farrell said while insisting the move is not a vaccine mandate. ((Coo Coo))
"This is not a vaccine mandate," he explained. "We’re not going to tell someone, anyone, that they have to get vaccinated. We’re also not going to deny anyone the ability to access essential food, medicine… regardless of vaccination. That wouldn’t be legal, that wouldn’t be moral, but what is immoral is choosing not to get vaccinated, choosing to listen to some delusional rant on Twitter." ((OK Dr.))
I will never go to NYC either. Oh well, you jabbers can have LA and NYC and all the boosters you want. I heard from a good pal who got #3. Dude can;t lift up his arm. I'm sure it will get better some day.
"This is a miraculous place, literally filled with wonders," de Blasio said. "If you’re vaccinated, that’s gonna open up to you, you can open the door. If you’re unvaccinated you will not be able to participate in many things. It’s time for people to see vaccination as necessary to living a good, full and healthy life."
Karma is coming for ALL the liars and are the dividers. Look at LA and NYC. WAFJATI. Seriously, you elitist can have all the major cities.

Lol! or
Not a good case for vax mandates. It's okay. I am used to your mea culpa's.

Dizzy was never good with math.
Apparently DeSantis does no know how bad things are since he is now denying knowledge of hundreds of ventilators being requested by Florida state health authorities from Federal stockpiles.

MASKOPHILE ALERT!

The CDC asserts this even though its own statistics show that Covid-19 is not much of a threat to schoolchildren. Its numbers show that more people under the age of 18 died of influenza during the 2018–19 flu season—a season of “moderate severity” that lasted eight months—than have died of Covid-19 across more than 18 months. What’s more, the CDC says that out of every 1,738 Covid-19-related deaths in the U.S. in 2020 and 2021, just one has involved someone under 18 years of age; and out of every 150 deaths of someone under 18 years of age, just one has been Covid-related. Yet the CDC declares that schoolchildren, who learn in part from communication conveyed through facial expressions, should nevertheless hide their faces—and so should their teachers.

The Masking of America Faceless people make compliant subjects, not good citizens. by Jeffrey H. Anderson
The day after the CDC endorsed nationwide mask-wearing, President Trump announced, “I won’t be doing it personally.” From that instant, the mask quickly became a symbol of civic virtue—a sort of Black Lives Matter flag that could be hung from one’s face. For many it conveyed a trio of virtues: I’m unselfish; I’m pro-science; I’m anti-Trump. What it also conveyed, incidentally, was rejection of longstanding Western norms, unhealthy risk-aversion, credulous willingness to embrace unsupported health claims, and a pallid view of human interaction.

‘The war has changed’: Internal CDC document urges new messaging, warns delta infections likely more severe The internal presentation shows that the agency thinks it is struggling to communicate on vaccine efficacy amid increased breakthrough infections
The delta variant of the coronavirus appears to cause more severe illness than earlier variants and spreads as easily as chickenpox, according to an internal federal health document that argues officials must “acknowledge the war has changed.”
The document is an internal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention slide presentation, shared within the CDC and obtained by The Washington Post. It captures the struggle of the nation’s top public health agency to persuade the public to embrace vaccination and prevention measures, including mask-wearing, as cases surge across the United States and new research suggests vaccinated people can spread the virus.
The document strikes an urgent note, revealing the agency knows it must revamp its public messaging to emphasize vaccination as the best defense against a variant so contagious that it acts almost like a different novel virus, leaping from target to target more swiftly than Ebola or the common cold.
It cites a combination of recently obtained, still-unpublished data from outbreak investigations and outside studies showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated. Vaccinated people infected with delta have measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated and infected with the variant.
