Take a good look at this graph. It comes from Amarillo, Texas’s public health department.
I realize Amarillo is just one mid-sized American city, but these figures clearly mirror a national trend. It shows that the overwhelming majority of us who are being stricken, sickened and put in peril by the COVID-19 virus haven’t received any vaccination.
The yellow images tell me all I need to know. If you are refusing to receive the vaccine that protects you against the pandemic, you are putting yourself at extreme peril. Worse than that, you also are endangering those who are closest to you.
President Biden has told us repeatedly that the current spike in COVID infections — caused by the Delta variant — is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Hmm. What’s the message?
You need to get vaccinated. Today!
