Confirmed new cases of #COVID19 have fallen across most of the USA - very good news. But it's not due to #vaccines -- les than a third of Americans are fully vaccinated. The downturn is thanks to masks & distancing. Common sense rocks.
Review:
Per the CDC website (which updates daily), 28.9% of the total U.S. population has been vaccinated. There is not easily accessible data confirming or denying whether mask wearing + social distancing or vaccinations (or both) are contributing to a decline in Covid cases. Source:
Review:
Four in 10 Americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Public health experts agree that widespread vaccination has played a crucial role in combating the spread of infection in the United States.
Review:
"Fully vaccinated" rate =/= "not due to vaccines". Nearly half the population is at least partially vaccinated. She is right that masks and distancing work. But vaccines help both to reduce number of human vectors AND signal danger of virus.
