Nearly all new infections in the county are among unvaccinated people.

, a significant increase since June, when the department was consistently reporting a few hundred new infections each day. Officials are currently investigating 55 ongoing outbreaks, up 25% from the 44 outbreaks they were investigating last month.

Young people are also contributing to the infection spike, according to Ferrer."Of the cases reported today, nearly 87% were under 50 years old," she said. "The COVID-19 vaccines are the most effective and important tool to reduce COVID-19 transmission and the spread of variants like the highly transmissible delta variant," she said."Getting fully vaccinated is the way we protect you, your family and our community from COVID-19 and the delta variant."

As a state, California's vaccination rate is better than the national average. As of Monday, 63% of residents had received at least one dose, and 51% were fully vaccinated, compared with 56% of all Americans who've gotten at least one shot and 48% who are fully vaccinated,

Wouldn't have anything to do with the unvaccinated illegals being bussed and flown all over the country though...

New headline....'Nearly all new Covid infections are among members of the INSURRECTION PARTY! Go Covid Go!

Sure they are.

99.9

I don’t think you can say “young people” when referring to new cases 50 and under. That’s so misleading again. Put in the actual facts. Are they 12-18? 20-30? 30-40? Come on quit publishing articles without hard facts ! vaccinepush fearmongerring

Thanks to so much misinformation given by conservatives GOP.

Thanks to the unvaccinated there are more breakthrough cases among those vaccinated. As a result, the delta variant is reducing the vaccines efficacy and it will be April 2020 all over again 🙁

Then why is everyone complaining, it's our choice. Supposedly, if you believe in the vaccine, then you won't get it.

Propaganda

Get vaccinated people. It's free. Live longer. Getting a shot or two is a whole lot easier than being on a ventilator.

Dog bites man

Weapon Or Cure?😷😷

They say the Republican Party is shrinking. Now I see why. At this rate Democrats won’t have many opponents!

The cdc controls the stats...so yes the data will validate this statement...now if its true...thats another story...can someone also explain why the vaccines are not approved by the FDA?

Too bad for them…

Wow, who could have possibly predicted that?

What’s the of FULLY vaccinated people that have died? Let’s have a discussion about that

candaceconvo Seems they want to die

Vaccinated ppl get it again as well smh

Key word (nearly)

No point begging people to get the vaccine anymore. Give any available vaccine to anyone anywhere in the world who wants it.

For people that want to be vaxed, get vaxed. For those that dont want to get vaxed. 95 % of you are part of the INSURRECTION PARTY and you are right! Covid is a hoax. Dont get vaxed. United states along with N Kor, Iran, China, Russia all made pact to proliferate Covid hoax!

Gee

Show your data please and data source.. Last study I read it was closer to 50/50.

Please define “nearly” because I don’t trust you

No shit

You don’t say? Well, holy shit! This is the type of high quality, deep dive journalism I expect from ABC.

Because they aren’t testing the vaxxed sheeple.

More false propaganda. Why can’t this be classified as misinformation. There’s many vaccinated people catching Covid. This is simply a lie

If people could be trusted to act responsibly and with caution the lockdowns wouldn't have been needed in the first place. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Either unlock or don’t unlock but DONT give us some kind of half hearted “get on with it” and then let the media rip into everybody who they perceive to be “in the wrong” and demand restrictions put back.
