1/3 Cases/hospitalizations up, now deaths, but not a lot of clarity given many cases going unreported due to home testing. This BA.2.12 is a bad actor especially given only about 100 million Americans are vaccinated and boosted.

Chief of Infectious Diseases at UT Health Houston, Dr. Luis Ostrosky, said they're concerned about this case surge.

But in the early stages of the vaccine both Biden and Kamala discredited it because it was developed during the Trump administration!!
