PATHETIC FEAR MONGERING ABOUT THE DELTA COMMON COLD VIRUS
ONLY ESCALTING IN STATES WITH LOW VAXX ( AND ACCORDING TO THEM LOW IQ)
THUS US WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST
Good morning. On Covid, the U.S. looks increasingly like two different countries.

‘Please take this seriously’
The spread of the Delta variant in relatively unvaccinated parts of the U.S. is getting worse.
Nationwide, the number of new Covid-19 cases is holding steady. But that steadiness hides two dueling realities, in two different Americas.
In many urban and suburban communities, Covid continues to plummet. The rate of new daily cases has fallen below three per 100,000 residents in large cities like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington. As a point of comparison, the national rate of new daily cases peaked last winter above 75 per 100,000 people.
But in less populated areas — which tend to be more politically conservative and skeptical of vaccines — the virus is now surging, largely from the contagious Delta variant. The states with the worst outbreaks are Arkansas and Missouri (each with more than 16 new daily cases per 100,000 people) followed by Florida (10), Nevada (10), Wyoming (nine) and Utah (eight).
If these outbreaks were concentrated among younger people, it would be less worrisome, because Covid, including the Delta variant, is overwhelmingly mild for children and young adults. Yet even many middle-aged and older adults are not vaccinated in parts of the U.S. They are catching the virus as a result, and some are dying.
There is a clear relationship between a state’s Covid death rate over the past week and its overall vaccination rate:

Preventable deaths
The biggest tragedy is that this situation is avoidable. Highly effective vaccines are available to virtually any American adult who wants one — a privilege that residents of many other countries do not have. Hundreds of U.S. clinics, including in rural communities, offer immediate, walk-in shots.
Still, only 54 percent of adults in rural areas have received at least one vaccine shot, according to the most recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, compared with 72 percent of urban residents. Kaiser found that vaccination rates were also below average for Americans under 50; Black Americans; Republicans; and people without a college degree.
“It is the unvaccinated people who are dying,” Dr. Thomas Dobbs, Mississippi’s state health officer, said, according to the television station WLBT. “The unvaccinated people who are going to the hospital. The unvaccinated people who are getting diagnosed, for the most part.”
Tricia Jones, a 45-year-old mother of two in Grain Valley, a small city in western Missouri, did not get the vaccine because she was concerned about the side effects. Her mother, Deborah Carmichael, had felt sick after getting a shot, and Jones decided to wait.
This spring, Jones caught the virus. She was hospitalized May 13 and died June 9. Now, as Sherae Honeycutt of Fox4 in Kansas City writes:
Her family is praying people will see Tricia’s life as a call to action to get their vaccine — if not for themselves, for the ones they love. “Please take this seriously. You don’t want to see a family member you love go through this,” Carmichael said. “You have a way better chance of coming out OK than if you don’t.”
“I really miss you. I miss you a lot,” Adriana [Jones’s 18-year-old daughter] said.
Marc Johnson, a University of Missouri immunologist, told The Missouri Independent that he expected the state’s outbreak to continue worsening for much of July. In some communities, the Delta variant has only recently arrived, suggesting a coming surge.
Despite the rise in caseloads and deaths, many Republican politicians have declined to offer a full-throated call for vaccination. Instead, state legislators in Missouri have warned hospitals not to require employees to get vaccinated. And Gov. Mike Parson has sent mixed messages.
“You’re gonna have to take responsibility, to take the vaccine, if you so choose to,” Parson said last week. “But you know, I think it’s important to understand that there’s risk involved.”
A few Republican governors have taken a different approach. “We’re in a race against this Delta variant,” Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas said on Sunday. “The solution is the vaccinations.” Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia was blunter: Anybody who is not vaccinated, he said, has entered “the death lottery.”
Preaching to the choir here BUT
Disgusting Bullshit but thanks for sending it
The cases and deaths are very low everywhere.
This cherry picking is bullshit of the highest order
OF COURSE THE “CASES” ARE MOSTLY IN THE IN UnVAxxed.
CDC has Said openly they are NOT even testing vaxxed people.
This is what we are up against
I will post this in a cut and paste in a comment
100% lies, all of it.
Yup, absolute lies. And Justin Castro will ply it to the country, the sheeple will eat it all up, and our incarceration in this shithole country will go on forever.
I have always known this is what we are up against. The media will cherry-pick select cases, report only on those, and it will screw every one of us who is not falling for the propaganda.
I am at best ambivalent about memes and I have resolved not to post images since I have so much to do I am not doing and should be posting nothing for so many reasons. Yet I have collected dozens of memes from off-guardian org and one I will describe for you.
Smiling woman, looks like great person looks intelligent nice, in winter jacket, photographed at demonstration, holding cardboard sign reading–
A NEW STRAIN
OF BULLSHIT &
3RD WAVE OF
PROPAGANDA
‘Propaganda’ and ‘Bullshit’ in red and underlined.
100% dog shit
Where’s the NYT story about that 13 year old who “gave ” his life for the cause
Or the stories of the other 7,000 “confirmed” deaths in the US
Or the stories of those poor health care workers who were maimed by the vaxx.
I’m just waiting to hear:
“He died after the Jab, could have been worse, he could have died from COVID!”
At the Parks and Rec Soccer camp for kids this morning, they are still spraying disinfectant on the kids hands before they entered the pitch. Luckily no masks.
None of the kids likely carry Covid. They would not be able to play vigorously if they had a respiratory ailment. As I walked by, the nice young lady gave me 2 m clearance.
That was thoughtful. Caring. Even considerate.
Maybe crime will drop as there doesn’t seem to be any contact. If mugged, just say you are unjabbed. You will know they are as they will be wearing their mask.
Early on in Covid, some people would not let you pet their dog. I never had any qualms about them petting Hudson. If they looked scary with a mask on, they may not come away with a hand but I always let them . Strange how dogs pick up on crazy people.
I do have a meme from O-Guardian about dying from the inoculation protecting you from Covid.
Perhaps you should not let them pat Hudson! Some people are saying cats and dogs seem to get sick from the inoculated!!!! (Not sure I buy it by any means and even if I did I would think it would have to be lots of contact.)
I have a Cane Corso, Italian bull mastiff. Nobody is brave enough yet to pet him… Wonderful dog. First dog I ever had that retrieves everything you throw.
How about a juicy steak?
You got me. No way he would retrieve that. Once he has food in mouth it’s over.
“NEW YORK TIMES IS FULL OF SHIT”
Water is also wet! 🙂
Handlers to Joe – “Uh, you didn’t hit the July 4 quota”. “C’mon man cut me a break, I’m herding cats here. I’ll get my press right on it – oh and Kamala, can you have the people on your list paid a home visit?”
