In Maryland, every person who died of Covid-19 in June was unvaccinated

[EarlG]

That's not an aberration, experts say

Last month, 130 people died of Covid-19 in Maryland. None of them were vaccinated, according to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan.

In addition, unvaccinated people made up 95% of new Covid-19 cases in the state and 93% of new Covid-19 hospitalizations, Hogan said at a news conference Wednesday.

The connection between vaccination status and Covid-19 is not specific to Maryland and is not limited to last month, medical experts have said.

Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine, said Maryland's data is a trend that will be seen in states across the country.

Hogan is a Republican, but at least he's not an anti-vaxxer.

1. My husband

had a doctors appt in Knoxville medical center a few weeks back. His doctor said, they have 4 people in ICU today from Covid, all could have been vaccinated and all will probably die. That was 3 week back, who knows how bad it is now.

2. Don't think so

I doubt that very much. Just because you say it doesn't mean its true. For one thing, a doctor would never say that the patients in ICU will probably die.

I don't believe you.

3. And you are?

Cause I personally don’t give a flip.

6. Misread

Did you mean could have been vaccinated or were vaccinated. I read it as were vaccinated and still going to die of COViD.

7. None were vaccinated,

But could have been. Just a sad story.

8. Oops

Then I apologize. I am just really sensitive to anyone that implies that the vaccine is bad which you were not doing. Sorry. All those cases in Maryland were preventable since we have a vaccine.

9. No biggie.

I just wanted to mention it because, as we know COVID has a lag time. Since delta was rising in numbers, it still is, just may proved delta was here making the rounds over a month ago. The doctor didn’t give age, race or any identify information. I guess she was just sad, actually.
We’re not aware that delta morbidity is higher then other variants, I just wish people feared it enough to be vaccinated .

that none were vaccinated. Saying they “could have been vaccinated” is ambiguous.
