AUTHOR’S NOTE: See commentary at the end.
On Monday, the hypercontagious Delta variant finally did what Joe Biden couldn’t: convinced 70% of U.S. adults to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Biden originally aimed to administer at least one vaccine dose to 70% of Americans 18 and older by July 4. But widespread vaccine hesitancy — particularly in conservative parts of the country — prevented the U.S. from meeting his deadline.
Now Delta appears to be breaking down some of that resistance.
Nearly all of the recent news about Delta has been discouraging. There have been more cases because of it (up 150% nationwide over the last 14 days, driven mainly by rapid spread in under vaccinated hot spots like Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi). There have been more hospitalizations — Florida, for example, just broke its daily record, set before vaccines were available. There have been more deaths, though fewer than in previous waves. And there have been more breakthrough infections and transmission among vaccinated Americans than expected — which means there have been more local mask mandates, an unwelcome step backward.
But one bright spot — perhaps the only bright spot — has been vaccinations. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, the U.S reported an additional 468,000 vaccine doses Monday, just enough to propel the number of Americans who’ve received at least one shot past 180 million. What’s encouraging about that number is that it caps four straight weeks of slow but steady gains in America’s vaccination rate, which has risen from about 430,000 doses per day to 550,000 doses per day over the last month.
First doses, meanwhile, have risen even faster — by about 75% during the same period. More than 5 million Americans have been newly vaccinated in the last two weeks alone. And best of all, these gains have been concentrated in the under vaccinated states that Delta is hitting the hardest — strongly suggesting the variant’s ravages are the reason former holdouts are finally taking COVID seriously and deciding to protect themselves and others with a safe and effective vaccine.
Consider the data. Over the last two weeks, COVID cases and hospitalizations have more than tripled in Louisiana. But at the same time, more than 11,000 Louisianans a day are now beginning vaccination — up from about 2,600 per day one month ago, and the highest rate since mid-April. Same goes for Arkansas. Other hot spots such as Missouri, Florida and Texas are now vaccinating more new people each day than they have since mid-May. Last week alone, Louisiana registered a 114% increase in uptake, while Arkansas increased by 96%, Alabama by 65% and Missouri by 49%.
We’ve seen our daily new administrations double, and this week they’re on pace to triple or quadruple. Everybody knows someone who is sick right now. Those people who are not real anti-vaxxers but were just not real confident are saying, ‘I’m not waiting a day longer.’
Louisiana State Health Officer Joseph Kanter recently told Bloomberg.
The pattern is consistent across the country. Last week was the third week that states with the highest numbers of COVID cases also had the highest vaccination numbers, the White House announced Friday. And according to an extensive Bloomberg analysis, the 20% of counties that were “vaccinating the most slowly six weeks ago are now leading the country in the number of people starting vaccination each day, helping drive a national trend of more vaccinations.”
To be sure, laggard states across the Southern and Central parts of the U.S. still have a long way to go before they match the daily vaccination records they set in March or April — let alone the much higher full-vaccination rates now shielding Northeastern and Western states such as Vermont (67%), Massachusetts (64%), Washington (58%), New York (57%) and even California (53%) from the worst of Delta.
Among the states that still trail far behind are Alabama (34%), Arkansas (36%), Louisiana (37%), Missouri (41%) and Texas (44%). Even in Florida, which has fully vaccinated 49% of its residents, the counties now suffering the biggest outbreaks tend to have full-vaccination rates in the 20s or 30s. That’s a lot of ground to make up.
There may also be a ceiling on how many new people are ultimately willing to get vaccinated because of Delta. While 15% of unvaccinated Americans said last month that Delta’s spread was making them more likely to get vaccinated, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll conducted from July 13 to 15, another 12% actually said Delta made them less likely to get a shot. A full 73% said it made “no difference.” More than half of unvaccinated U.S. adults (51%) said they would “never” get vaccinated.
Likewise, full protection from the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine doesn’t kick in until five or six weeks after the first dose, and Delta is especially good at evading partial immunity — so today’s shots probably won’t do much to blunt America’s vertiginous surge.
Still, better late than never. In the long run, every shot helps bring the U.S. pandemic one step closer to petering out — and Monday’s news that under vaccinated states have finally helped the country hit a key milestone proves that even the darkest clouds can have a silver lining.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
Proverbs 17:4
It’s not much of a shock, but this report is full of such lies. So now, out of nowhere, America has reached it’s mystical 70% – a number that Fauci, politicians, and the media pulled out of their rear end – so then I ask: does that mean an end to masks, and end to lockdowns, no more need for these so-called “vaccines?” -‘Why of course not, the science has evolved,’ they’ll say.

Some of the links provided in that report don’t even provide the breakdown state by state, as implied in Yahoo’s article. This author is purposefully skewing the data to be misleading.
Just the other day The WinePress cited vaccination rates from USA Facts.org, which says on their website, “Government data from over 70 sources organized to show how the money flows, the impact, and who “the people” are.” Here were the vaccination statistics per state as of July 25th:
Here is what they reported as August 1st:
It might be hard to read for some of you, but if you at some of the states the report was hyping up, Louisiana and Florida only saw a very minuet change. So why the high percentage spikes as mentioned in the above report? Because they rose from the bare bottom of hardly anyone getting vaccinated. Granted, I don’t doubt that vaccination rates are starting to tick up again, but the way this report spun it was ridiculous.
Moreover, does it not sound a bit contradictory when this writer says 70% of those 18 and older and have been vaccinated, but they spin around and give data from a survey that would indicate most people still do not want the shot?
The bottom line is, according to USA Facts, 50% of the entire population has been fully vaccinated. I believe vaccination rates will indeed go higher as more of the sheeple continually get scared into willfully believing lies, and especially when the FDA gives its rushed approval, and more bodies start to fall down dead and gravely sick in the fall and winter months.

In NYC, De Blasio issued a decree that Starting August 16, People must provide proof of vaccination in order to enter certain indoor activities like gyms, events, and restaurants. The enforcement will begin on September 13, 2021. The FDA just signaled that they are going to expedite the FULL FDA approval process. Here are those articles:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/03/nycs-de-blasio-mandates-vaccines-for-indoor-activities.html
We are seeing the mandates taking place. Chances are, the other states will have some mandate.
Yeah I had heard about the rushed FDA thing. They will probably get approved before September probably, but definitely by September for sure.
Yep I just read that today also..
A thinking person knows that something FDA-approved does not amount to a hill of beans, since plenty of what they have approved has been taken off the market. So when this poison gets approved by the FDA, the hope and fanfare that will no doubt accompany the announcement will snare a few more suckers.
hype and fanfare
People studying this are saying that one of the reasons they did this under ’emergency order’ was that they (pharmaceutical providers, sorcerers) didn’t have to comply with labeling & disclosure laws about all the ingredients in the inoculations…..therefore it slowed down investigation on the part of those who typically do these things. Groups like the AAPS. This may be the signal for insiders & cronies that a tipping point has been reached, & that enough people have been vaccinated with the shedding source of the spike protein, the debilitating & infertility causing agent that weaponizes a person’s own body against them, the ‘operating system’ ….that they no longer need that cloaking device any longer. : – (
I do see a great awakening going on. They need to do something, before the people rise up and hang all the UN and related globalist. Hang on folks, it’s getting crazy with no end in sight.
