HEADLINE: Virus surge hits New England despite high vaccination rates
HIGHLIGHTS:
"DESPITE HAVING THE HIGHEST VACCINATION RATES IN THE COUNTRY, there are constant reminders for most New England states of just how vicious the delta variant of COVID-19 is."
"According to statistics from The Associated Press, THE FIVE STATES WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF A FULLY VACCINATED POPULATION ARE ALL IN NEW ENGLAND, with Vermont leading, followed by Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. New Hampshire is 10th.
According to the AP data, FULL VACCINATION RATES ACROSS THE SIX NEW ENGLAND STATES RANGE FROM A HIGH OF 69.4% IN VERMONT TO 61.5% IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Despite the relatively high vaccination rates — the U.S. as a whole is averaging 55.5% — there are still hundreds of thousands of people across the region who, for one reason or another, remain unvaccinated and vulnerable to infection.
NOW, A RHODE ISLAND OFFICIAL SAID HE DIDN'T THINK THE 70% VACCINATION GOAL, ONCE TOUTED AS THE LEVEL THAT WOULD HELP END THE PANDEMIC IN THE STATE, IS ENOUGH.
“What we've learned with delta and looking beyond delta, is because that's where our focus is as well, to really reach those levels of vaccination, to give you that true population level protection, YOU NEED TO BE IN EXCESS OF 90%,” said Tom McCarthy, the executive director of the Rhode Island Department of Health COVID Response Unit.
Officials throughout New England CONTINUE TO PUSH THE UNVACCINATED TO GET THE SHOTS AS WELL AS BOLSTER VACCINE MANDATES."
"Case counts in Vermont, WHICH HAS CONTINUALLY BOASTED ABOUT HIGH VACCINATION AND LOW HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH RATES, ARE THE HIGHEST DURING THE PANDEMIC. Hospitalizations are approaching the pandemic peak from last winter and SEPTEMBER WAS VERMONT'S SECOND-DEADLIEST MONTH DURING THE PANDEMIC."

"The vaccination goal needs to be 70%...no, maybe 90%...aw hell, let's make it 110%! It's not like anyone is paying attention!"
Give them an inch and they will take a mile.
