Covid Cases Have Skyrocketted On Martha's Vineyard - 102 new cases, with 50 per cent, coming from fully-vaccinated residents.
2021-08-11
[VinyardGazette] In an email Monday, Martha's Vineyard Hospital spokesman Marissa Lefebvre confirmed that there is one patient currently hospitalized with the virus. Ms. Lefebvre said the patient was hospitalized Sunday in serious condition.

According to a follow-up email from Ms. Lefebvre, the patient had only received their first dose of the vaccine.

The state Department of Public Health reported in its August 5 update that 88 per cent of Dukes County has been fully vaccinated, based on 2019 census data.
So only 1% of infections are bad enough to need hospitalization? Surely that’s a good thing, exactly what the vaccines are supposed to accomplish.. Perhaps at some point we’ll be informed of the health status of this patient — whether as expected the patient is elderly, in poor health, or otherwise immunocompromised.

#7  Went to the doctor's office yesterday. Masks were required of everyone. The woman at the front desk asked me for a photo ID. I gave her my driver's license. It dawned on me that the DL showed me without a mask. I said: "The DMV should have issued the DL with a mask". ..she chuckled under her mask.

#5  I have a hard time believing any really rich person who wants the vaccine hasn't had both doses for some time now. Ones that don't, lots of gummint spokesassh*les have been saying for some time they are just getting what they deserve.

ACTUAL HOSPITAL NUMBERS CITED

25 cases were fully vaccinated.
1 partially vaccinated.
20 unvaccinated.
and 2 are unknown.


BTW: Initially 100's of former Obama administration officials, celebrities and Democratic donors had planned to attend Yomama's 60th Birthday bash on Martha's Vineyard during this same time.

Time will only tell how many got snagged, if any of them.
