The headline tells the story — COVID-19 deaths are continuing to mount only because people have not availed themselves of the “life saving” vaccines that are available.
The bottom line is that vaccine hesitancy continues and the primary states that have low vaccination rates are in the South. Watch: In the coming weeks and months someone is going to plot the deaths state by state and the map and the results will tell the story.
How many times have we been able to tell someone that something is available that is 99.2 percent effective? Not many that I can recall.
Uninformed people making irrational decisions about their own personal well-being. Go figure!
