Other high vaccination states have mostly done better than average too. Recent surges are below pandemic peaks. Vast majority of cases, hospitalizations and deaths occur among unvaccinated population driving surges. In the US, rates of vaccination and mask wearing are still too low. Mitigation measures are relaxed to reopen economy. Easy for virus to spread from state to state. On the positive side, worst of the pandemic might be behind us according to Scripps research. Trends show US cases, hospitalizations and deaths increasing at diminishing rates over months. Since vaccines are safe and effective, many deaths and hospitalizations are preventable. As population is increasingly vaccinated, coronavirus may eventually become as manageable as influenza in the future. Media bias fact check rates "Zero hedge" as a conspiracy pseudoscience website that promotes misleading misinformation.
FACT CHECK
"Recent surges are below pandemic peaks"
Talking Vermont this is a FALSE statement. The HIGHEST peak during the pandemic was April 4th of this year with a 7-day average of 190 cases. Pre-vaccination peak was Jan 12th with 170 7-day avg. From Sept 16th through Sept. 29th Vermont exceeded 190 7-day avg of cases. Source; World-O-Meter
RECENT SURGES ECLIPSED PREVIOUS PEAKS.
"Vast majority of cases, hospitalizations and deaths occur among unvaccinated population driving surges."
Again, the subject matter here is Vermont. Your favorite term "Vast Majority" could have many definitions. Here Vermont is 69.4% fully vaxed, last two weeks 21% of cases fully vaxed, 79% unvaxed. Is that a VAST majority? To you maybe, to me it is a majority, not vast.
The state also reported 29 new hospitalizations and 14 new deaths among vaccinated people, compared to 31 new hospitalizations and 13 new deaths among unvaccinated people. HOW ABOUT THIS? Not even close to a vast majority.

Will say it again, vaccines do help many people, they do reduce reported cases. And I say reported as it is my belief many vaccinated are asymptomatic and continue to spread the virus. No McTrap, I do not believe the vaccine is making people sick. A few, yes.
The very same people who cry for more mis-information to be removed from social media continue to spread the very thing.
Their 7-day avg. death count higher than Florida's and these five states population is 66% of that of Florida's.
