Jim Hoft in the Gateway Pundit article dated September 20, 2021, reports, “Data from John Hopkins COVID-19 Tracker shows that several states with the highest vaccination rates like Maine, New York, and Vermont have the highest increased rate in COVID-19 cases last week”.
State Vaccination Rates by Percentage:
- Maine @ 67.92%
- New York @ 62.18%
- Vermont @ 68.98%
Hoft closes with the case numbers from Texas with 51.50% of its population fully vaccinated. Texas ranked #31 in the US with the greatest decrease in Covid cases dropping 56.57%.
We find that truly amazing since the Biden administration opened the Texas border in January 2021 inundating the state with a flood of unvaccinated illegal immigrants that drove hospitals in the state to the brink of destruction and then blamed the numbers on unvaccinated Texans.

On September 21, 2021 the Covid Tracker Region Notes for these three states reveal:
-
Maine reported “a large number of new tests (27,364) on April 21, 2021, causing the state’s 7-day moving average for its test positivity rate to display a steep decline from 7.6% to 4.7%. The large batch of tests most likely represents data from the past few days since the state had not reported any new tests since April 16“.
-
Vermont notes state, “On October 30, 2020, our data source for test data, the Covid Tracking Project, changed its definition of the contents of its total Test Results field for Vermont. We use this data for our positivity calculation denominator. This will likely reduce the state’s positivity percentage because people are deduplicated people less frequently, resulting in a bigger denominator”.
-
The number of COVID-19 cases for New York City appeared to spike on March 24, 2021 because the figure incorporated unreported data from the previous day from all five boroughs. (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page). We are working with government sources for back-distribution of their data.
The New York case count is derived by subtracting the previous day’s cumulative case count from the current day’s cumulative case count. JHU’s cumulative case total for New York aligns with the New York State Department of Health and with media outlets.
