Fauci: More than 99% of people who died from COVID-19 in June were not vaccinated

Anthony Fauci on Sunday said more than 99 percent of the people who died from COVID-19 in June were not vaccinated, calling the loss of life “avoidable and preventable.”

“If you look at the number of deaths, about 99.2 percent of them are unvaccinated. About 0.8 percent are vaccinated. No vaccine is perfect. But when you talk about the avoidability of hospitalization and death, Chuck, it's really sad and tragic that most all of these are avoidable and preventable,” Fauci told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” -snip

Marjorie Taylor Greene talking about her reckless 'We Will Not Comply Act' on Thursday to a crowd of over 500 people, mostly seniors:

"It gives you permission to tell Biden's little posse that's gonna show up at your door, you know, that intimidate you - they probably they probably work for Antifa by night, and then they come and intimidate you to take the vaccine by day - Well, you get to tell them to get the hell off of your lawn."

Just reckless.

And to that point in the case of MO, Biden wasn't (or his administration) wasn't planning on sending the feds to your door with a shot but rather having communities put together nurses and volunteers(in those communities) to assist in going "door to door."

The point though, you shouldn't be encouraging other people to not get vaccinated, especially seniors.

Granted, she's likely only putting her own voting base at risk, but still.

I understood, I wanted to just clarify the intent which is the opposite of what she was espousing. Listening to the authority figure "buck" authority....wahoo.

In these more rural red areas they hate authority, it's crazy to listen to it sometimes. Like I said though, throw in a 6 pack per shot and this could be solved in SW missouri.

Gotcha 👆

Lol, like when they gave Grant bourbon to lead the union in the civil war. XD

Is this officially a 3rd wave, yet? this is also the 1st wave which should have beea easily prevented across the u. s.; instead we have (as I predicted long ago) large pockets of exotic covid variant factories. These unvaccinated and outspokenly ignorant freedom-types are doing their best to kill us all, as usual. were the pre-boomer generations smarter than us? would the 2021 human race have been able to eradicate smallpox? I'm asking rhetorically, of course.

This has been one of the mildest plagues we have recorded especially considering comorbidity factors, if you aren't old and fat your chances are very good of surviving. I say that and also say it's better to get the vaccine.

certain people are more at risk than others who are also still at risk, and you felt that necessary to highlight because....

"stop being old and die"?
"if you die its your own fault because you're probably fat...or something"?
"i work out btw so I'm not at risk"? because of some bro science you read on a fitness forum?

Seriously, help me out here please: why bring it up? especially considering that it's evolving and becoming more contagious and generally dangerous? are you coping to avoid the anxiety of acknowledging reality? is it a fun self-validation game? are you advocating for a deliberate purge of the elderly/overweight/asthmatic/weak/etc? ddm could never answer that, but maybe you can

oh but you didn't try to dismiss the benefits of vaccination so thanks for that at least

Because people can do something to lessen the risk of the disease even without vaccination. The vast majority of fat people can choose to not be fat. They just don't.

Then again, if the already existing health risks of being fat don't make people choose to be less fat then I doubt any additional health risks from catching a virus whilst fat will change their behaviours.

I understand the concept Jaden. I wish to know why it's been obsessively highlighted throughout the thread. seems on the surface to be a naked "proof by example" fallacy with the purpose of making it appear that vulnerability to covid is a life choice issue. never mind all the other vulnerable population, like the asthmatic for example, or the elderly as stated. sorry, but when this silly tangent comes up I can almost hear the sound of marching jackboots in the distance.

For a huge number of Americans it IS a lifestyle choice that puts them at additional risk. Not much point in pointing out comorbidities no one can do anything about. Can't change your age, can't change your asthma, can't change your compromised immune system. You can change your weight though.

You can also not be mentally retarded and actually get vaccinated but that's another story.

I guess I'm lacking the "only I matter" mentally to grasp the reason why this has overshadowed the topic. meanwhile being physically fit does not safeguard you from the virus. it only reduces your chances, by a completely undetermined percentage (not even a ballpark estimate to go by iirc), unless you're a physically fit as well as: asthmatic, diabetic, have lung disease, sickle cell disease, have immunity issues, then your physically f*cked. but screw those guys. shouldn't have been diabetic bro.

The reason I mentioned fitness is because a number of other co factors are attributable to overweight. Not to dismiss that individual as a person or potential losses. Everyone in my family is vaccinated now but even without that we had very few risk factors other than old age in parents.

It's important when we discuss things like this not only to understand the virus and its virility but individual circumstances as well. You can't choose if you get sick or not but you can make lifestyle choices that minimize said risks in the future.

As an American culture we overeat, it's a fact, it has costs and they are never pretty.

Now our Health Secretary has Covid. Same one who promised restrictions to be completely lifted next week facepalm

Pointing out how other people can lower their own risk exposure is the opposite of "only I matter".

Granted, most of the people pointing out these things usually outweigh that altruistic aspect with way more "only I matter" behaviours like being anti-vax, anti-masks etc.

seems like just another excuse to scapegoat and feel superior to fat people. what other reason is there to allow obesity to dominatw the topic? just wanna let all those fat f*cks know that you care about them? but go on bros, keep preaching. covid wouldn't exist if we were all fitness nuts, because bro science never lies, nor is it packed with gross exageration/distortion

Cases of COVID-19 have doubled in the U.S. in the past two weeks, and Arkansas is becoming a case study in how low vaccination rates can fuel the spread of the virus. Arkansas continues to be the nation's top state for new cases per capita, and only 35% of the state's population is fully-vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus appears to be largely sparing vaccinated people from the most severe illness.

"Of all of our critically ill COVID positive patients at Baptist Health facilities, none have been fully-vaccinated," said Stephanie Whitaker, chief nursing executive for Baptist Health, a major healthcare provider in the state. The state's Department of Health said there are 240 COVID-19 patients in the state's ICUs and 118 on ventilators. Only 4% of the state's intensive care unit beds are available.
