Still, Delta has changed that. Younger and fitter people are dying. |

My own personal experience:
I’m in SE Texas which was hit relatively early by delta. We seem to be past the peak now thankfully. In my workgroup (60 people) we have had 16 covid positives. 2 on vents. 1 is improving, 1 is not expected to make it. Both are in late 30s/early 40s, both relatively unhealthy. Then our probably “healthiest” guy in the group (mid 30s, distance runner, vegan, etc) just came back to work after 3 weeks out, spent time in the hospital on the clonal antibody stuff but no vent). One lady has a 2 year old just back from 6 days in the hospital, at one point they prepped the 2yo for a vent then decided against it as she would have been our hospitals youngest ever covid vent patient). On vaccines, 15 of the 16 were unvaccinated. Of the families I know who have had COVID and are partially vaxxed (that is, say mom is vax’d and dad is not) in one case the vax’d dad still caught it, in the other instance the vax’d mom was the only family member to test negative. |

I dont think you understand what he is saying. If 78% of the general population is overweight then 74% of people being affected by covid should be 78%. If it was less, it would mean overweight people resisted covid. |

Yes the first thing I do when I’m vomiting up pints of blood and bleeding from my rectum is jerk off to check my semen. |

As a vaxed person, I still don't care what others choose to do. In fact if one is on the fence about getting the vaccine, the least effective way to get that person vaccinated is to shame and call them an idiot. If everybody and media and politicians just chill, more folks will be less defensive and likely quietly come around. Again, challenging peoples intellect isn't going to win hearts and minds IMO.

Most of these Covid patients that need to be hospitalized or on vents and require all of the high end treatments are unvaccinated. |

I think the point is appealing to compassion didn't work either.
