The Delta variant has found fertile ground in the unvaccinated counties in Missouri. I read some explanations, mostly looking to make sure that it was really only sending the unvaxed to the hospital (true).

“One nurse, he said, reported having treated a person with methamphetamine addiction who was against the COVID-19 vaccine.

“So, in other words, he will put meth into his body but not this vaccine,” Edwards said.”

Hard to know what to do with that. I mean, convincing anyone under the influence of uppers of anything they don’t already believe is already difficult, so I guess this isn’t too surprising. But it does get your attention.

I’m not finding any exact percentages. Some articles say “mostly” unvaccinated.

“”That inspiration has turned into exasperation,” Edwards said. “Because this time, every single one [of the ICU hospitalizations] was avoidable.””

So, yeah. Closer to 90%+ vs. 51%, then.
