Sheridan County Resident Death Attributed to COVID-19
The Wyoming Department of Health on Wednesday confirmed the death of a Sheridan County resident attributed to COVID-19. An older adult Sheridan County man died last month. He was hospitalized and was not known to have health conditions known to put people at higher risk of severe illness. This brings the number of Sheridan County resident deaths to 50.
In the descriptions, “older adult” includes those over the age of 65. Additional information about this person is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPPA. Deaths among Wyoming residents are added to the state’s coronavirus-related death total based on the location of a person’s permanent residence and official death certificate information. If death certificates do not describe COVID-19 as either causing or contributing to a person’s death, those deaths are not included in Wyoming’s count of coronavirus-related deaths.

I saw an internet story about Illinois Dept of Health reporting that in the last 30 days 77.2 % of COVID deaths were in fully vaxxed people. We hear all the deaths in Wyoming reported with NO breakdown of vaccination status. Another state also gave their stats. Why are we not getting that information in Wyoming? This information is available per the public health office in epidemiology study. I have asked this to be reported? We’ll see what the transparency there is or is not available!!

Here is information directly from the Illinois Department of Health (dated Nov 1, 2021):
Out of the 25,834 Illinoisans that have died from COVID-19 to date, only 818 were fully vaccinated. That equates to 3.2% of all COVID-19 deaths.
Out of the 818 deaths of fully vaccinated Illinoisans, 87% were 65 and older.
That number, 818, is 0.011% of the fully vaccinated population in Illinois, which stands at 7,640,122 people. Recent increases in breakthrough infections may be caused by waning immunity, which is why they are recommending booster vaccinations.

This response from Laura is disingenuous, comparing deaths of the fully vaxxed against the total number who have died is pointless when you factor in that the ‘vaccine’ wasn’t even a thing for the first year of the pandemic, you are blatantly comparing apples to oranges. If you actually read Michele’s comment carefully, it clearly states that the 77% figure was for the last 30 days not the total number of deaths… This is significant because there are so many shills for the ‘vaccine’ running around promoting it as 100% safe and effective while demonizing the unvaxxed for spreading covid. There is evidence coming in from all over the world that this is absolutely FALSE, the supposed ‘vaccine’ will not keep you from getting and spreading the virus nor will it guarantee you a good outcome if you do get sick, especially if you are older.

Ah, another report of COVID vaccination insufficiency. Sounds like Mr. Larsen endorses the information from “an internet story”, plus helpfully adds additional “evidence.” And his sources of this detailed information are . . . .? But yet he’s so certain of his information, I guess I too should believe his report. Afterall, the stronger one believes something, the more likely it is to be true.

Its happening around the world, dennis, maybe you should look into why the FDA just changed its definitions of what a vaccine is. CNN might help you there.

Dennis, I do not endorse information from ‘internet stories’ or mainstream media reports, that is for the simpletons on the left and right. I research from official data updates and scientific studies that are being done all the time, it is what I would expect anyone who actually wants to know what the science is really saying, sadly however most people like yourself are unwilling (or unable) to do this and they just believe whatever the CDC or Fauci tells them, despite how many times they have already been lied to over the last two years… Speaking of the CDC though, even they admit that the vaccine does not stop people from being infected and spreading the virus, 2 minutes of research and you can find that for yourself. Also, it doesn’t seem you read down to my comment below where I give the source for the large scale study that was done recently that finds no evidence that vaccination rates are making any statistical difference in stopping the spread of covid. The data from all over the world is showing the same thing, the numbers don’t lie, its not about believing anything, it’s about looking at the actual evidence that is continually coming in, most of which flies in the face of what our incompetent leaders are trying to convince the American people of…

…so it appears that vaccination, masking, distancing, medications, sanitary protocols…they are all helpful tools to effectively slow, reduce the effects of or better yet stop the viral spread in any given population…in the end death from Covid is a matter of how well any individuals immune system performs no matter what their age or genetics even with the best treatments…given the sedentary lifestyle of most Americans and associated problems like obesity there can be no defining rule for survival once infected with Covid one can only hope for a healthy outcome with the best treatments available…to debate the percentage of infections or death statistics within the known numbers of vaccinated individuals is nonsense…

Not exactly, masking has never been shown to be effective at spreading covid, the only study I could find was from Europe that determined that wearing masks was statistically insignificant in terms of spreading the virus when compared to not masking. Also, a new study from the national center for biotechnology information took data from around the world and the U.S. and found that the data shows that increases in Covid cases are unrelated to levels of vaccination, which pretty definitively means that the ‘vaccine’ does not actually stop the spread of this virus. If you actually trust the science, then look at the science, stop trusting known liars like Biden and Fauci without doing your own research!

mr larsen you can believe whatever you want to believe…if you want to engage in risky behavior that’s your business…often times people without common sense usually don’t live as long as others who do have common sense

So disappointed in you Mark! You have no actual response or anything of value to add to a conversation, but somebody said something that you don’t like, so you resort to pointing fingers, calling names, and trying to prop yourself up. How pathetic (although extremely predictable)!
