COMING SOON!

I'll do it to protect my sister, who is unable to be vaccinated. Anyone who is able but chooses not to vaccinate, stay home, or wear a mask and social distance.

That's what you told all of us people who believed in science when we all started telling YOU to wear masks. You told us to stay home so we can't infect anyone with the hoax virus, and you were going to go and live your lives however you wanted.

Well the tables have turned. It's your turn now. Stay home, or get sick. Your choice. I'm going to live my life how I see fit. I'm vaccinated.

4. Tell us if a positive vaccinated human had vaccine A B or C. Show us what a positive variant test looks like.
5.Mask is a choice. Just like seat belts, speeding,smoking etc . Protection with mask is for me not you. I am vaccinated do not trust you are. Know children under 12 are not.
6. Live a healthy lifestyle. Strength to your immune system comes from your choices.The vaccine will help but nothing will prevent it 100%. Covid-19 is not going away. Live your life and respect others who choose to live differently. I was against the vaccine initially. After much research my choice was for J&J due to the fact it had nothing in it that I was allergic to. Had horrid reaction. And yet since the shot other immune issues have seen a vast improvement. AS ADULTS we are responsible to our selves to maintain our health and wellness. At this point I am more curious which vaccine the people had if they get sick?We have the Unvaccinated. We have vaccinated positive. We have straight Covid-19 and Variants. We have those who had vaccine A B or C. And we have a state that dies not count well. Make your choices according to your needs.

Not sure if I am misunderstanding your statement above in red, but it has been well documented by scientists that masks do not protect you from Covid, they protect others from receiving droplets from you. Masks have been described as a chain link fence for Covid, but they do slow down infected droplets from reaching others via air.

THOUSANDS of illegals are placed in buses/planes and sent all over the United States WITHOUT TESTING THEM?? Maybe THIS spike is happening because of this action and time will tell that IF it continues we will be back where we started?? WHY is this allowed?? There are reasons for everything.

They still refuse to talk about the over 35 million people who have had covid and as a result have the best immunities and the lowest by far rate of reinfection.

You’re right that the CDC is only tracking hospitalizations and deaths of vaccinated people. We’ll never know how many breakthrough infections occur as most vaccinated people do not get tested and many could have minor and/or no symptoms at all which was the case with COVID before vaccinations. At the end of the day it’s deaths that really count, though who believes those numbers as well? Strange how the wording changed to dying of Covid vs dying with Covid after the vaccines came out. We will never really know how many people have gotten covid, or how many people actually died from covid. Also, all the vaccinated are taking part in the ongoing clinical studies as the the side effects, efficiencies, and long term effects from the vaccines. Most importantly, where did COVID really come from??? There’s a lot of unknowns…

MichaelLinda, your statement “this is a game being played with statistics” is not true.

Apparently no matter how any of the information is presented there is a group of anti-VAX folks that find fault with everything that’s reported.

Let’s get to the bottom line, COVID-19 is on the rise due to the variant and the millions with in the population that have refused, are afraid of, just don’t care about getting a vaccine. That’s the bottom line.

In Florida, only 47% of the population is fully vaccinated as the state is seeing an average of 55.1 daily new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people, the highest rate in the country, according to data from the Brown School of Public Health. And according to the Florida Department of Health's weekly COVID-19 report, the number of new COVID-19 cases nearly doubled in the state last week from the prior week."

Gotta be honest here...the thing that bothers me about all this is that there are still 22 letters in the alphabet yet to go!

Yes I am aware of the science and still maintain wearing the masks keeps the droplets from others out of my face as well.

How many untested, unvaccinated illegal aliens have been shipped to Florida by bus, plane and train? How many of Florida's COVID cases have originated from them?

20 (there are only 24 letters in the Greek alphabet)

Or we could stop the fear mongering all together. The survival rate for this virus is well over 90%.

US COVID-19 Vaccine Progress Tracker | Vaccinations by State | USAFacts

The ONLY reason Florida is as high as it is can be contributed to the 74% vaccination rate of Sumter county and the 60% rate in Dade county. Numerous counties in the rest of the state have a rates in the low 20%, and a lot of them are in close proximity to Sumter. Thats where the virus is now running rampant.
