@Virusskeptic-d3z A video made by some yahoo is not empirical evidence. Besides, that assertion also demonstrates an ignorance of basic statistics (pretty common these days). Since the pool of vaccinated people is much, much larger than that of the unvaccinated, there are far more people to draw from, if you will. Overall numbers of infections are much lower, the severity of said infections is much weaker, and thus the death toll is much smaller. Yes, a numerical majority of the much-smaller-than-before number of deaths in a given time might well have been among vaccinated people, but a larger percentage of the unvaccinated will have been infected, with worse consequences, up to and including death.
The virus is still going around, and it's still killing people, but far fewer than before (and the severe, life-long consequences of the infection are greatly weakened). This is due to the effectiveness of the vaccines. There is no empirical, peer-reviewed scientific evidence to suggest otherwise.

@miked.5089 No, there's more to the definition than that. Anyway, proving a negative, in this case that something hasn't gone into a proverbial toilet, is impossible. I'm tired of this "Democrat-controlled cities" trope. If you're talking about the recent uptick in crime (after decades of decline), that's affecting lots of places, including GOP-run Jacksonville. Besides that, rural areas/decaying smaller cities across the country, mostly Republican except for those with non-white majorities, are often awash in meth, opioids, suicide, and the dysfunction that follows. The Trump administration declared a State of Emergency for rural Alaska; Oklahoma has similar problems, etc.
There's a lesson here about neoliberal, capitalist imperialist parties.
