Did any of those 89 people end up in the ICU? How many of them died as a

those are some of the questions you should be asking. Not "why are masks
still being recommended." This stuff really isn't that hard.

To start with 89 people might just be the tip of the iceberg since we
don't know how many people got infected and didn't go to the doctor.
This was also one fairly small state.

And how many people had been vaccinated? At least hundreds of thousands.
The vaccines are 75% to 95% effective, not 100%. Did any of the 89 wind up
hospitalized or die?


That was a big factor for me. Too many were in hospitals, on
ventilators, for weeks. Many that did recover are still having
problems. Avoiding the hospital is a good incentive to get the shot. I
get the second next Monday.

Total hospitalization since April 2020 was 878310 or 0.266% of
330Million people.

Those are all the people who tested positive for covid in the
hospital, no matter while they went in the first place.
That is bad but maybe not as scary as the hype.
