Virus Vexes Vermont’s Vaccinated

On Friday, November 5th, 2021, Dr. Eli David, CTO of Deep Learning at Nano Dimension, pointed out that Vermont, the state with the highest percentage of residents age 12 and over vaccinated against COVID-19 in the entire United States, is now experiencing the highest number of reported COVID-19 cases during 2021.

Over 80% of Vermont’s residents are vaccinated against COVID-19, with 71% fully vaccinated – the highest rate in the entire United States for people age 12 and over:

VT COVID-19 Vaccination History as of 11-05-21

Vermont reported 265 new cases of COVID-19, the highest level reported during all of 2021:

Vermont: New COVID-19 cases, 7-day rolling average

Diving deeper, we see Vermont also reported an increasing number of reported deaths of people with COVID-19, which is now tied with the highest death rate reported during all of 2021:

Vermont: Reported deaths per day of people with COVID-19, 7 day rolling average.
So, the state with highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in the USA also has their highest number of reported cases and related deaths?

Sounds like the COVID-19 vaccine might lose its’ effectiveness over time. Or, perhaps, all new infections are happening among the unvaccinated or those whose natural immunity from a previous COVID-19 infection has decreased. Or, could a new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus be outsmarting current vaccines and natural immunity? And, of course, there’s a difference between dying from COVID-19 and dying with COVID-19. Or, maybe not.

Does the State of Vermont keep track of those statistics, and make them easily available for the public to view? Might be nice for the public to know if they wanted to make an informed decision about their health.

The Register Registers a Little Liberal Bias?

What happened:

Sir David Amess: Conservative MP stabbed to death
- By Joseph Lee, BBC News, 15 October 2021
“The investigation into the attack will be led by the Metropolitan Police’s specialist Counter Terrorism Command, who will determine whether it was a terrorist incident.”

How it was headlined on 10/25/21 by Britain’s (usually snarky, always the vulture) computer technology website The Register UK:

Online harms don’t need dangerous legislation, they need a spot of naval action
It worked on Jolly Roger, it can work on ProudWhiteGuy6637″

What’s that on the subtitle…”ProudWhiteGuy6637? Do they mean like this guy?

That’s odd…here’s a few details The Register’s article apparently forgot to mention:

10-19-21:SUSPECT NAMED Sir David Amess murder suspect named as Ali Harbi Ali, 25, as anti-terror police granted six more days to quiz him
(Source: The Sun, Oct. 16, 2021)

10-22-21: “Sir David Amess: Ali Harbi Ali charged with murder of MP”
Mr Ali is a [25 year old] British man [of Somali descent] whose father is a former adviser to Somalia’s prime minister.
(Source: The BBC, Oct 22, 2021)

So, we need “naval action” against “ProudWhiteGuy6637” for something a young Somali male and alleged assassinator did? By what some claim is a “woefully inadequate“, “pathetic” and shrinking Royal Navy?

Why not some naval action against “RadicalSomaliGuy666“? Say, like against these guys? That is, assuming the British Navy can reach Minneapolis MN.

Quote of the Day: JFK and Secrecy

“The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.”
- President John F. Kennedy, Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York City, April 27, 1961

Note, perhaps ironically, President Joe Biden announced on October 22th 2021 he was delaying former President Trump’s 2017 order to declassify and release of information related to the November 22nd, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Quote of the Day: Always Question Government

The European Parliament recently proposed a plan to restrict the rights of any individuals not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Christine Anderson, Member of the European Parliament’s Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence in a Digital Age (AIDA), voiced her opinion on that plan:

It is not the goal that renders the system oppressive; it is always the methods by which the goal is pursued. Whenever a government claims to have the people’s interest at heart, you need to think again. In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite sincerely concerned about the well-being of regular people. What makes any of us think that it is different now?
