Deep red states are averaging around 35% vaccination rate and people have basically stopped getting vaccines in many areas, particularly rural counties with poor healthcare systems.
Everyone who wants one has already gotten it. My friend runs the next county overs health department and they are at 25% and he has shut down the program because no one new was showing up. This is a county with over 120k people.
With the new variants making the vaccine only 70% effective as well, it means we aren't anywhere near done with this.
We need an effective treatment for severe covid. In India they are seeing youngish people (30's-50's) die within 2-3 days where it had been days to weeks.
HGEN is literally the only drug that treats the cytokine storm and it is a literal lifesaver.
