"We have a pandemic because the unvaccinated and they're sowing enormous confusion. And the more we learn about this virus and the Delta variantion, the more we have to be worried and concerned. And there's only one thing we know for sure, if those other hundred million people got vaccinated, we'd be in a very different world," he said.

I think Uncle Joe needs to stop telling lies. Look at two of the most vaccinated countries in the world - Israel and Iceland. Both have around 90% of their adults vaccinated, but both are experiencing surges in cases. Israel blames the 500k unvaccinated young adults and is implementing vaccine requirements and is blaming those few. Iceland is talking about 5 or more years of covid restrictions. In the UK, about 40% of covid hospital patients are vaccinated (possibly due to use of AstraZenica), and also there was some info that came out yesterday where half of all covid patients in the hospital tested negative when admitted to the hospital.

The vaccine doesn't stop the spread of the virus. Stop telling lies Joe.

COVID 19 cases that are less severe (and have a reduced chance of death) also tend to be less infectious. So it's more a case of the vaccine reducing the spread of the virus - that could still be useful. Not that I'm a vaccine fan, but these effects are probabilistic, not binary.

It doesn't help that right when the vaccine was first made available, the CDC changed the PRC testing guidlines to reduce the cycle count and cause fewer cases to be reported.
