Did I use the word "offensive"? I don't think so. I was profiling, actually, and don't tell me that people do not do that. Of course they do. I would bet a lot of money that guy at the capitol with the horns on his head is NOT vaccinated. Just a gut feeling. I would bet money on it though.

The pattern of the Delta variant is a steep, rapid increase then sharp falloff. A booster might not be needed.

Probably? No, he was vaccinated by the VA. He said he earned the right to whatever appearance he wishes. As a decorated Veteran, he should be able to feel free to whatever appearance he wishes. I may not dress like that and I do not drive a pickup truck anymore, but I have to agree with him. Generally, most PATRIOTIC folks thank veterans for their service and do NOT dis' them for not dressing as the elitists that criticize them.

They always resort to conspiracy and lies and that makes them feel protected and special. This is why there are few Harvard MBAs, handsome people, doctors, lawyers, pretty women, etc. in their ranks. Most are out of work young men staying with mom. Sad, but true. Now, someone here will point out the one handsome lawyer or doctor in the whole US that belongs to that group thinking that proves me wrong. Problem is; there is only one.

My goodness, I saw a guy with a long beard yesterday in a black pick me up truck with an American flag on one side of the back of the truck and the other side had a black flag that said "F$#K Biden and the Ho". That gave me the CREEPS!!!! These are the people that are fueling the pandemic by refusing the vaccines. They are not very sharp.

I can't attest to the validity, but this suggests that Sumter County has more than 70% of residents vaccinated. I think that is really good news.

What happened? Why did my thread get deleted so quickly? What was said? All I wanted to know is if anyone has an accurate percentage of Villagers who are fully vaccinated. I'm very dismayed that a thread like that is gone so quickly. That information should be readily available to everyone who lives here.

Thanks for posting the map and percentages. I still can't really figure out what percentage we are in The Villages by the map but it does look like it may be in the higher range but still not sure.

Lots of people are getting Covid and not so many people are dying from it, because they are younger. The older you are the worse it is for you to get sick with this bug.

It just seems so frustrating to me, that the vaccine is there, certainly not without risk, but the risk of being inoculated is far less than getting the damn Delta mutation.

I don't like Ron Paul or AOC or Sarah Palin or Hillary. It is hard to pigeon hole folks. We are all pretty complicated and most of us are nice.

The American flag will never bother me. The way our flag was displayed along with the other flag, however, DID bother me.

The subject matter of the thread I'm referring to was not discussed at all before; not that I saw anyway. So, I'm a bit confused as to why it was removed. How did it go south so fast?

Moderna is finalizing data on several booster shots for Covid 19 and urges elderly populations such as The Villages to get a booster shot to avoid respiratory complications. The efficacy of the first two shots diminishes after 6 to 9 months. We got our second shot in March 2021 so about November we will sign up for the booster. Moderna is a vaccine company that developed a vaccine against Covid 19 last year under Operation Warp Speed.

IF and I say IF 50% of our country has been vaccinated:
35% of our country are children under 12yo from what I have read (true or not true). Not approved yet, so there is nothing you can do about it.
That leaves 15% not vaccinated that might or could be vaccinated.
How many of those have already been infected by COVID? If already survived COVID then there is no real need to get vaccinated yet.
Also, there are those that were told by their doc not to get vaccinated for medical reasons (like pregnant?)
There are exceptions and limits to the vaccine so some are still going to get infected.
So, get off your high horse and relax. We are doing good in this country.
