Just a quick note to any vaccine doubters who might still be amenable to facts:
Contra Costa County, in northern California, has begun publishing separate covid case statistics for vaccinated and un-vaccinated people.
The most recent 7-day average shows that among the 72 percent of adults who are vaccinated, the rate of new covid cases was 0.4 per 100,000--i.e. just one vaccinated person out of 250,000 got covid.

In contrast, among the 28 percent of the county's population who are not vaccinated, the rate was 7.0 per 100,000. That's 17.5 times higher.
I don't know about you, but any time I can cut my risk of getting a potentially life-threatening disease by a factor of 17, I'm going for it.
