Vaccination vs Hospitalization Maps

[Fanatical Meat]

Interesting but slightly confusing map.
Go New England!
I do have concerns when we all head inside because it is too cold outside, we seem to be handling back to school good enough.

It is a scientist, quick, get the rifle before he realizes we can see him.

We need to overlap this with the electoral map from 2020

I have questions about the granularity of those maps.

Travis county, TX (i.e. Austin) has at least 63% of the population fully vaccinated, 750k total, but it doesn't even show as a blip on the map.

Granted our hospitalization rates are unsustainably high, but our hospitals also take a lot of patients from nearby, rural counties.

Arizona's map shows that conservatives can learn (if enough of their family members die). Pima County is Arizona's only centrist, almost liberal, county and takes up about a third of the green block in the southeastern part of the state. The rest of the green block consists very conservative areas that got hammered by COVID earlier because they didn't do squat to protect themselves. The northeastern green block is the Navajo res where folks also got slammed hard by COVID early on.

I am no expert on this subject.
Going to guess they are smoothed out per county. For example a city close to mine has a very low vaccination rate however looking at the map they are similar to my city.

This. I'm tired of explaining to rural folk that the reason city hospitals are full while rural hospitals are not isn't due to the vaccine efictiveness, but instead because all of the rural antivaxers are plugging up the works.
