What’s the age breakdown? Why is it ALWAYS a cumulative average reported? I’m rarely around anyone over the age of 50 except in a restaurant setting perhaps, and if they’re out, unvaccinated and unmasked why is it my duty to protect them? They’ve spoken loud and clear on their risk tolerance and potential fate. If they’re vaccinated, my actions are moot.Actually the cdc listed the incidence rate of vaccinated vs unvaccinated right next to the rates. I should have posted it for reference. Here it is
View attachment 384404However incidence rate continues to rise each day as it is the cumulative number of cases per susceptible person in the USA. With delta shooting up the incidence will be much higher in a few weeks. You can see what is the risk of infection in your community is here.

With a case fatality rate of 0.5 to 1 per 100 cases reported with delta and a current 7 day average of 80k cases you can look at that data and decide if the risk of covid is outweighed by a theoretical risk that Covid vaccines may have despite 10+ yrs of mrna vaccine research and no history of previous vaccines causing known major adverse effects after the first year of administration.
