Then why are vaccination rates correlated only to a reduction in COVID deaths and not a reduction in cases?

- PopeUrbanX 5y agoBecause an increase in total number of vaccinations have coincided with an increase in transmissibility of the virus due to emerging variants.
- Jimmc414 5y agoDo you see evidence that cases are increasing in the unvaccinated much faster than in vaccinated? I'm not finding anything that supports that assertion. If you can point me in the right direction, I will look with an open mind.
- PopeUrbanX 5y agoThat's not at all what I just wrote. Read it again.
- Jimmc414 5y agoMy point was, if transmissibility has increased to a degree that cases are increasing vaccinated populations, isn't it logical to conclude that cases in the unvaccinated would have increased to a much greater degree?

- ben_w 5y agoAlmost all cases now are a wildly more infectious variant than before. The virus isn’t a static target.
