Headlines blared that there have been a report 145,982 individuals in hospitals nationwide on Tuesday with COVID-19. It's probably that fifty% of them had been admitted due to an underlying situation slightly than COVID primarily. However what's extra vital to notice is that the huge, overwhelming majority of these persons are unvaccinated. We expect they had been silly, however they made that alternative, they took that danger.

The numbers don't mirror a nationwide disaster. It represents the selections of a minority of Individuals.

The numbers show that COVID is changing into much less of a danger to people who are vaccinated.

So it's ridiculous to hobble society and harm the bulk of people that are vaccinated, most of whom face even smaller dangers due to age and general well being. The unconscionable closing of the Chicago public faculties wasn’t primarily based on science. Neither are the ridiculous guidelines about sporting a masks for that 30-second stroll to a restaurant desk, the place you promptly take it off. It's all farce.

The CDC has made loads of errors of late, significantly in its messaging. However kudos to Walensky for at the very least making an attempt to push again in opposition to the panic being supplied by far too many politicians and members of the media.

When can the remainder of us have our lives again?
