Vermont: Highest Vaccination Rate, Record-Breaking COVID Numbers. Why?
PJ Media ^ | 12/02/2021 | A.J. Kaufman

Vermont, the left-wing New England paradise, is seeing a record number of its residents hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms. And this crisis comes despite having the highest vaccination rate in the United States.

Hospital admissions from COVID in the Green Mountain State have climbed rapidly in the last four months. With only 640,000 residents, 84 people are currently receiving hospital treatment, including 22 held in an intensive care unit. Consider that New York, at 30 times the population, has around 300 people currently hospitalized from coronavirus.

A disproportionate number of hospitalizations in Vermont are in the southwestern part of the state, near the Massachusetts border. Vermont’s Department of Health said a majority were not “fully vaccinated” against the virus.

“We do know that those who are not fully vaccinated are going to the hospital at a higher rate, and they are staying longer as well, consuming hospital resources,” Vermont Financial Regulation Commissioner Mike Pieciak told a local news affiliate.

Gov. Phil Scott and top health officials continue to promote COVID-19 vaccines and booster doses as the “best protection” against severe viral symptoms. The cancellation or delaying of elective surgeries is a likely next step.

The Scott administration has repeatedly advised residents to wear masks when inside public buildings. Though there’s no statewide mandate, municipalities have been granted authority to make their own masking rules.

Vermont Public Radio, which may be left of Lenin, acknowledged the situation Wednesday, then shared anecdotes and excuses — like cold weather. They also pushed for boosters, noting, “For many Vermonters though, it’s been more than six months since their last shot.”

The network quoted Harvard School of Public Health’s Stephen Kissler, who claimed, “While the vaccines still seem to be pretty good at preventing people from going to the hospital and dying, we are still seeing people with breakthrough infections that are symptomatic. That is not what we want to see.”

Speaking of vaccine requirements, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared Wednesday afternoon to answer questions from the White House press corps and lecture Americans. One exchange stood out:

REPORTER: "At what point does the booster become part of the mandate?"

FAUCI: "I can't answer that right now. For the time being, the definition of fully vaccinated is two [shots]."

REPORTER: "Do you see that changing?"

FAUCI: "It could change" pic.twitter.com/BnP89DCNPR

The unvaxxed people are catching the virus multiple times? At least that would mean they aren’t dying much.

This Harvard Health article from 2008 may explain why we're getting a spike of COVID cases in the Northern Hemisphere, including Vermont mentioned in the article:

Time for More Vitamin D

The article recommends higher Vitamin D intake between the Fall Equinox and Spring Equinox for those living north of 37° North Latitude (which is about 60% of the continental USA, all of Canada and most of Europe). No wonder COVID cases are spiking in Europe, too.

VT is chock full of birkenstock wearing, Marxist ass wipes. I know because I’ve been there many times (my wife is from VT) and I have in laws that live there. And they plan to STAY there, thank goodness.

What we need is a daily booster shot. Everyday. Maybe the military could go Door-to-door to ensure it’s administered daily. It’s the only way!

Logic and reason supported by science about vitamin D.

Good thing Fauci is on television 5 times a day advising people to take vitamin D!

It’s because they got the clot shot.

The “vaccination” just makes you MORE vulnerable to the disease, as the immunity was confined to the particular portion of the virus that was in the mRNA particle, which is only a small portion of the entire COVID-19 Wuhan virus. The virus mutates just a little, the sliver gets so obliterated that the T-cells cannot recognize it, and there is a new full-blown infection.

Another example of treating the symptom and not the underlying disease.

What does “fully vaccinated” mean?

New York air pollution kills the virus.
Vermont air is too clean.

I was actually afraid somebody was going to figure that out and there would be a run on vitamin supplements in the late summer of 2020 and earlier this summer. Surprised it hasn’t happened yet. 🙄

Portugal is the last country in Europe to see the beginning of a Covid spike. France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal were the “holdouts,” but in the last two weeks, France and Italy saw the beginning of spikes; then Spain about a week ago, and now Portugal.

It's a pandemic of anybody dumb enough to get any of these poisonous death shots. ONCE you start the process of destroying your immune system, it's only a matter of time.

And speaking of destroying, better get your heart checked too if you listened to the Fauci vaxxxine scam.

It's looking like millions of the vaxxxed will have their lives shortened significantly and the politicians will double down on getting more fools vaxxxed. YES, they really are that stupid.
