Does this even surprise you?

Five undervaccinated clusters put the entire United States at risk

A new data analysis identifies clusters of unvaccinated people, most of them in the southern United States, that are vulnerable to surges in Covid-19 cases and could become breeding grounds for even more deadly Covid-19 variants.

The analysis by researchers at Georgetown University identified 30 clusters of counties with low vaccination rates and significant population sizes. The five most significant of those clusters are sprawled across large swaths of the southeastern United States and a smaller portion in the Midwest.

The five clusters are largely in parts of eight states, starting in the east in Georgia and stretching west to Texas and north to southern Missouri. The clusters also include parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee, and are made up of mostly smaller counties but also cities such as Montgomery, Alabama; Shreveport, Louisiana; and Amarillo, Texas.

Most of these states are currently seeing increases in Covid-19 cases.

"Parts of the country are just as vulnerable if not more vulnerable than they were in December, 2020," said Shweta Bansal, an associate professor of biology at Georgetown University. Bansal heads up the US COVID-19 Vaccination Tracking project, which has been gathering data on the US vaccine rollout since it began in December.

Those vulnerable clusters put all of the United States -- and to some extent, the world -- at risk for going back to 2020, since high-transmission areas can become breeding grounds for Covid-19 variants that could go on to evade Covid-19 vaccines.

"These clusters of unvaccinated people are what is standing in the way of us putting this virus down permanently," said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University.

If you have the vaccine then you can't get covid right? So why do you care about unvaccinated people harming themselves? Anyone who wants the vaccine can get it, so if they choose not too then they can suffer the consequences if anything bad happens to them.

Because people are worried that something that is significantly more transmissible will emerge.

because stupid people refusing to get vaccinated are just acting as breeding vats for evolved viruses that can bypass the vaccine induced immunity.

Holy fucking shit, how many times does this have to be explained.

No, it lessens the symptoms and gives you a better chance of no hospitalization. You can still get it and still pass it on to other people.

No, you can still get it, but chances are you wont get very sick. How do you not know the basics when you have access to a world of knowledge at your very fingertips?

False equivalency.. China as a whole shouldn't be blamed for something that may or may not have originated with them and that they didn't have control over... but the US south is absolutely to blame for every stupid fucked up horrendous thing about tbem sxcept for shitty weather because they have no control over that, but they do over everything else.

You make lots of pro-trump topics though so it is no surprise you would say something like that.

This mentality is the root of the problem.

I mean uneducated statement regarding vaccines aside, this "Who cares about other people?" state of mind is why a lot of people don't vaccinate or wear masks or social distance. They don't feel like doing that, and they don't care if that negative impacts other people.
