First off, let's agree on terms, do you trust Covid ActNow's numbers? They report a first dose vaccination rate for one region, Miami- 71%, which is 77% higher than another, Mohave- 39.7%. We can argue semantics but the bigger point is Miami doesn't have a low vaccination rate. According to Covid ActNow, Boston has a 69.4% rate. Boston may have a higher two dose vaccination rate but that may reflect a number of variables which at the current moment don't impact population level protection, ie, a recent increase of younger persons being vaccinated in Miami.
Thesis? No thesis. Only a question, when is bad news Bad News to some people?
Deaths and hospitalizations are rising in Israel. UK has the same fatality rate per 1M as the US. But you believe things would be better if we had universal vaccination, correct?

At last count, 579 people were in serious condition, an increase of more than 50 since Monday, the Health Ministry reported. About 6.2% of the people screened tested positive, it said.
The numbers were rolled out on the same day that researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem who have been advising the government released a report that predicted the country could have 150 to 250 COVID-19 deaths per week by the end of August.
Btw, breakthrough infections suck, even if you're not hospitalized. At least that's what I'm hearing from behind the bedroom door.
