If the CDC is to be believed, 83.1% of the population of the state of Vermont age 12 and above has now been "fully vaccinated." Of that portion of the population age 65 and older, the figure is 95%. So far, 68.3% of the Vermont population age 65 and older has received the so-called "booster."
And the most recent figures for COVID deaths in Vermont? In August 2021, the state incurred 17 COVID deaths. In September 2021, there were 44 COVID deaths. In October 2021, there were 41 such deaths. For November 2021, the number reported is 35 COVID deaths.
The comparable totals, for the four months? In (pre-vax) 2020, the state incurred a total of 16 COVID deaths. For those same four months this year, the total was 137 COVID deaths, an increase of some 756%. Given this, it's not clear how the state's high vaccination rate has helped the situation all that much. To say the least.
