Interesting, Dr. Markary has been on both sides of the "war". His problem with the vaccine is more a logistical one than a scientific one. He believes that the entire rollout, including mandates, has been a huge Fuster Cluck, and believes a more targeted rollout, focusing on the more susceptible population.
REGARDLESS, you "I'm not wearing a Face Diaper" will just love some of his other OpEd pieces....
***Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, has become highly visible during the coronavirus pandemic, authoring provocative commentary for national newspapers and appearing on some of the highest-rated shows on television. His frequent contributions to conservative media peg him as an iconoclast and darling of the anti-vaxxers. But Makary’s role in pandemic punditry is complicated.
Over the course of the crisis, he’s been attacked as an alarmist and praised as a challenger to the medical establishment. He believes vaccines save lives but that the nation’s vaccination rollout was “boneheaded” and aspects of it still misguided.
As the crisis emerged, in March 2020, Makary warned the Fox News audience that the U.S. would have “hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of people with the infection” and lamented a nation “still in denial.” The blowback from Fox viewers, he says, was harsh.

A "Partial Data Presentation". 1st the clock starts when everyone is fully vaccinated and there has been a rush on first doses lately, so you should be showing fully vaccinated numbers along with the surge.
Regardless, all Emergency Mandates like Mask Wearing, Limited Capacities, etc. were lifted on June 30 just in time for the Delta Invasion so guess what started rising??? Actually it's a great example to show how the different mandates work, and, as expected, the vast majority of the cases in the surge are in unvaccinated cases.
BY 6/15 there were 1.56MM cumulative doses administered to a population of 1.3MM. The big surge in doses was between March and June (about 1.1MM)

Maine Case Count:
Maine Vax Rate:
And once again, although some folks say they don't work, even when they do, the Mask Mandate, and other restrictions ended on June 30, along with the fact that as of June 30 only 61% of the population was FULLY vaccinated. Here I'll save you some research as of today, only 69% of the state is FULLY vaccinated. The number of vaccinations administered doesn't mean Jack.

Correlation does equal causation. You should know this.
That said, there is a huge spike in cases in Maine from March through the present, which neatly coincides with the Vax rollout and mass adoption in March. And yes, with Mask mandates lifted in JUNE, perhaps that exacerbated the trendline.
Point being, you can't claim Masklessness (if thats a word) is the SOLE contributor to the spike in cases in Maine, since the spike started in March (pre Delta) and the Masklessness began in June.
In terms of total population, we also need to look at the population that is actually ELIGIBLE for the Vax, which would reduce the topline. and increase the overall % vaxed in the state. But again, you know this.
And further, we would need to segment cases in March forward by age group, and comorbities, as well as asymptomatic cases, which have conveniently stopped being reported by the CDC. But again, you know this as well.

Never said the dropping of the mandates would have prevented the Delta Surge. Extension of the State of Emergency Mandates including masking would have certainly helped lessen it. I was extremely disappointed when on the cusp of the Delta Surge, states across the country lifted restrictions. That only helped Delta make it's quick run up, especially in a state like Maine which was coming off some of the most restrictive, and longest in-place mandates and restrictions; the old risk/benefit $$ equation, the risk of continued infection against the loss/gain of the economy. Maine wasn't about to lose another summer tourist season...
Finally found the exact number for the current vaccine eligible population, see below. The % fully vaccinated as of June 30 was 64% and the current % fully vaccinated is 75%, both numbers NOT what is recognized to be Herd Immunity numbers.
I was infuriated, and mentioned it here, when Herd Immunity was "SOLD" to the public as around 60-65% during the vaccine rollout, especially since it's a USDA number for herds of livestock, and they expect at least 90% immunity to allow a farmer to declare his herd has immunity. Suddenly now, public health officials started vocally ramping up the numbers for herd immunity from those 60s, and I have heard mid-80 percentages being quoted as of late.

The internet detectives will only provide the information that is provided for them.
Masks work. GOOD The vaccine works. BETTER Natural immunity. BEST
Very simple concepts. Natural immunity is difficult to achieve without overwhelming your Healthcare system and decimating vulnerable segments of the population.
So, we do what we can which some obviously have a problem with. Mask, distance, vax.
“Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death”. You hide if you want or your asking for a war. I’ve said it before only 3% made this a country. As it looks now it’s up to 30% that won’t conform to the will of tyranny. This flu was made by the same nerds that say you should use a mask and shoot their drugs. “Take this and you won’t get, fail” “Wear this and you cant catch it, fail”. “Everyone gets it and you win, VICTORY!” Darwinism is still in play and in the lead. You know what’s funny about American tyrants? We are all going to die but our tyrants actually made laws telling you how you can die. You all want to be Judge, Jury, and Executioners, for the greater good of course. What jokes.
