I suppose I might take this opportunity to indulge in a David "Axis of Evil" Frum rant, but nah. Let's bypass that soulless slimy snake responsible for thousands of dead men in the sand, and stay on topic.

Provincetown, Mass. 114% vaccination rate. Cases spiking. 2/3 rds of cases are fully vaccinated. The 14-day average number of cases per 100,000 was zero on June 30. Now we have 256. What's going on here?

Israel cannot blame the current surge on its unvaccinated because this population is practically non-existent.

There was a quote that those vaccinated from March onwards, are more protected. That should mean that freshly vaccinated people will be strongly protected.

It’s because of covid-deniers that we have variants in the first place.

I have no idea what "quote" you are talking about.

And how are covid-deniers responsible for the variants in the first place? Did they create that variant in a lab? you know, virus mutate... Please provide legitimate scientific links to back up your claim.

What is a variant?

Viruses constantly change through mutations that create new strains of virus (called variants) over time. Some virus variants emerge and then disappear, while others persist or become common. Most variants do not have a meaningful impact. Public health becomes concerned about a SARS-CoV-2 variant when it affects COVID-19 transmission, severity, testing, treatment, or vaccine effectiveness.

And also the case of Belarus, another country that bucked the lockdown and fear mongering trend.

Teasel, that's the question.

why are areas with the lowest vax rate AND the highest vax rates both experiencing a surge?

Vermont and Israel - high vax rate, past the herd immunity threshold.
Alabama and rural Florida - low vax rate.
Yet all are spiking. Why?

You have not explained what you meant by your "quote" comment.

You have yet to provide a legitimate link to support your baseless assertion that covid deniers are responsible for variants.

Yet you claim we are making stuff up...

With Narrative Established, CDC Announces Withdrawal of Rapid Response COVID Test to Belatedly Stop Diagnosing Influenza as SARS-COV-2?
July 25, 2021
Sundance

Well this is seriously sketchy, and feel free to correct me if my interpretation is incorrect, but the CDC has recently released a Lab Alert notifying healthcare providers they are withdrawing their emergency use request of the SARS-COV-2 rapid response diagnostic; and informing test centers to adopt new, modified, COVID testing that does not conflate influenza (the flu) with positive results for COVID-19.

This looks like a back-door admission that many of the COVID positive results were actually, perhaps intentionally & purposefully, Flu cases diagnosed as COVID. If so, this would explain why the number of cases of influenza disappeared over the last 18 months…..

…And, if so, this would seem to indicate an intentionally inflated outcome from prior COVID-19 testing........

Interesting.

I have not been really delving into the testing controversy minutiae like you have, so I don't really know what to think.

I do know though that Gates and Soros have bought a UK Covid testing company, and I suspect this company will benefit from the latest CDC move. And I also suspect this company will have put out covid tests that are skewed to find more covid cases.
