It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that when like 60-70% of adults are vaccinated and numbers are as high as they have ever been it's not preventing getting the disease or transmission.
Considering the current believed R0 value of ~7-8 for Delta, 60-70% vaccination wouldn't stop spread even if vaccines were 100% effective and stopped transmission
simplistically if R0 * (1 - %vaccinated *Effectiveness Rate) has a value greater than 1 you can expect growint transmission spread. So 7 (1 - 70% * 100) is 2.1.
For reference I think the original COVID R0 w no Vaccine was around 2-3 based on the data available

One of the big issues with this is people literally can't or won't see basic reality. 1 and 3 both are accurate. If someone read that and believed nobody would get COVID or spread COVID that was vaccinated then explain why the original study showed 94% efficacy against transmission. Then find out how many Americans are fully vaccinated and run the numbers on 6% of those people and you'll realize a ton of vaccinated people will get COVID. However, they are 29 times less likely to be hospitalized. Currently based on the original trial data around 11 million vaccinated people should get COVID. We have since learned the vaccine has a shelf life in our systems and Deltas replication approach makes it more difficult for the vaccine to react to the virus. Meaning that 94% is clearly much lower so the 11 million is not accurate. However, it does support the CDC statement above. #CAN #MAY
All I have to say is this, when the vaccine rolled out did you ever anticipate we would still be in this position nearly 6 months later? Of course not, and neither did the CDC or any other organization which is why they relaxed all the COVID rules.

Watching the decision LSU just made...watching schools having so much difficulty keeping children in class
The point is these measures aren't necessary. It's the ridiculous contact tracing and testing rules that are causing these issues. We have an entire class at my school virtual and zero kids in the class ever had symptoms of COVID.

I did not at first but I do remember helping our community with a vaccine site and seeing the turn out...late April and realizing we were going to have another round of this...at the same exact time I was watching India and did believe it would be delta related.
I'm pretty consistent. I believe we have to keep trying to do life as normal as possible. Based on the info available I never understood concern of mask in the short term or the vaccine in the long term. I do not want to live in a world where wearing a mask is necessary to help schools stay open and hospitals stay "relatively" safe. The vaccine had a small window to prevent the latter and we missed it this time. IMO schools were always going to be problematic once the virus mutated and began infecting children at a higher rate. Unfortunately long term vaccination will be the only answer for schools and I am ok they are taking their time in making that decision even if it is causing chaos in some areas now.

I feel you on this and the inconsistency is part of the problem. A local school here is crashing but they chose not to mandate mask (that's reversed now) and after a few days they had a boat load of cases and 10 times that number quarantined for 14 days. I am a firm believer in the guidance of 5 days after exposure test on the 7th day go back to normal if negative and without symptoms. It would certainly help the large numbers being quarantined that turn out to not have the virus to miss less school in person.
As I stated asking us to vaccinate really isn't asking much based on what is known at this point. Mandating is a different story. If private entities want to...fine. This is America. If localities want to mandate it then use the proper public channels. This is America. I don't want it coming from the top down though. It should be the reverse.

Saw something on AL.com that said 95% of COVID deaths in Alabama since April are among unvaccinated. LINK
Looks like according to their numbers, the unvaccinated also account for 84% of those hospitalized.

As some of you heard, I recently developed and battled a break-through case of Covid. Thankfully I have recovered and am looking forward to returning to the field as we prepare for the upcoming season. Having lost two family members to covid last year as well as being the father of a daughter who is immunocompromised, I understand why I made the decision to vaccinate. I can only speak for my own decision, but for those who are on the fence I encourage you to look at your ‘own why’ and consider protecting yourself, your loved ones and the healthcare workers who are working so tirelessly to save lives. I am thankful I did. I wish our country, and specifically the entire Auburn community, a safe, healthy and successful football season.”

Thanks for posting!
I am glad he is on the mend.
I also hope our defense excels under him and he stays awhile.
