Concern Trolling For Virginia

 Concern Trolling is when someone acts as if they are concerned for your (or someone elses) welfare but they are really being malicious.  CNN is doing some for the unvaccinated in Virginia. Now mind you that at this point in time anyone who is not vaccinated is likely not vaccinated by their own choice and thus understood the risks.  Mind you it SHOULD be the same for those who decided to get vaccinated. So since they knew the deal, if they get sick and die, it's not really newsworthy nor should it be used as a means of propagandizing.  Why? Because bottom line, we are all going to exit this place one way or another. All of us.

Anyway:

 

Say. How many people is that?

"A total of 1,063 breakthrough cases have been reported in Virginia – less than 0.1% of all fully vaccinated people. These cases resulted in 71 breakthrough hospitalizations and 17 breakthrough deaths."

"Breakthrough" is a cute term meaning vaccinated people who got COVID anyway.  Just under 10% of those were hospitalized and a half percent died.  Sounds pretty bad 

but...WORLDOMETERS:


 

189 cases total on July 8. 

3 deaths on July 8.

3.

Three.

III.

This is concern trolling. There is literally "nothing to see here".
