Actually, most likely Biden voters if you look at demographics of the unvaccinated and demographics of the obese.

So are the vaccines causing the variants or what? Some say they are, some say they aren’t. Are the vaccines effective against variants or not? Some say they are, some say they aren’t. This is from the lead article on my local NBC affiliate’s site. It was published August 10 but they are recycling it today apparently.

The very sad thing is that they are almost all preventable,” said Dr. Steve Threkeld, medical Director for infectious disease at Baptist Memorial Healthcare. “Essentially, every patient that we see in the ICU now is an unvaccinated individual, and we see them in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.”
quote:
Threkeld explains how the variants are continuing to form. “Basically, variants are nothing more than mistakes,” Dr. Threkeld explained. “When this virus makes a copy of itself, and that’s what it does for a living, all viruses simply make copies of themselves; that’s what they are trying to do out there. We just happen to get in the way of it and are a way for them to do it more efficiently by infecting us and getting into our cells and making those copies.” The health expert said more variants will likely continue to emerge with the virus steadily spreading and people not rolling up their sleeves taking the vaccine. Threkeld said taking the vaccine is the common denominator for fighting back against the variants and reducing the number of cases.

“We have to watch for things like the gamma variant, the beta variant coming along replacing these other just contagious ones because they are able to slip past our immune system with a little bit more skill,” said Dr. Threkeld. “That may be what we see down the line; that’s what we don’t want to see because that puts us back in a situation where we have to develop more vaccines and have variant vaccines — if not, go back to the drawing board altogether. We haven’t seen that yet, thankfully, but there may be an omega variant out there that will have the capacity to do that; that’s what we all feared — we feared it from the beginning.” In order to reach herd immunity, Dr. Threkeld believes it will take roughly 90% of the total U.S. population to become fully vaccinated.

I am hearing from relatives that work in hospitals that the percentage of unvaccinated hospitalized infections is dropping and vaccinated infections are on the rise.

A surge in coronavirus patients and a shortage of health-care workers and intensive care unit beds
If there was a shortage of healthcare workers, they wouldn't be firing people for not getting vaccinated.

Like the bitch in charge of OLOL who insists the problem is Covid and not OLOL’s ability to keep enough nurses on staff.
Anybody asked her how much her bonus was from the Covid relief funding the taxpayers were squeezed for?

That % will decrease. Keep us updated.

Mississippi also has one of the unhealthiest populations in the country. (Obesity) Maybe if their citizens would take better care of themselves they would not be in this predicament. Lay down the Church’s chicken and go for a walk.

I just saw two ads for RNs ..
One was for Memorial in LC; $60 per hour for cath lab RNs for a 12 week assignment. They also are offering a $30K signing bonus for a 2 year commitment (can't remember what are and can't find the ad at the moment).
Also, the hospital in Cutoff is offering $6392 PER WEEK for ICU RNs ... 48 hrs; travel package of 96 hours with a tax free stipend of $1400.
I should have been a nurse.

I was told the shortage was janitors and support staff. So the nurses work load was double.
You know…the ones collecting unemployment and Covid checks.

There’s a nurse shortage, too.

I think neither is true. The vaccines were developed to fight the original virus, not variants. It is effective at preventing you from getting the original virus, but makes you more susceptible to variants because it isn't equipped to prevent you from getting those versions of the virus.
However, it is definitely showing success at keeping people who did not have adverse reactions to the vaccine from having severe COVID reactions, but everyone is contradicting themselves because they're simultaneously panicking about case numbers and saying that vaccinated people may get the virus but are more likely not to have a severe reaction. If the latter is true, then it doesn't matter that case numbers are rising.

The article never makes the connection that 97% of the covid patients are unvaccinated, just that 97% of patients overall are unvaccinated. In one breath they say there’s a spike in covid patients, in the next, it’s 97% of the patients are unvaccinated.
They also mentioned that a full ICU has kept needing patients in regular beds. I know of one recovering pneumonia patient who was kept in ICU unnecessarily because regular beds were full. (Was really nurse shortage).

No one knows a single person seriously ill with covid, let alone someone in the ICU.
Well the above simply isn't true.
My co-worker's parents are both in ICU with Covid.
Both are near death, and most likely caught Covid from their vaccinated son.

it's kind of like natural selection where many of the unvaccinated are getting weeded out
