Covid Cases Have Skyrocketted On Martha's Vineyard - 102 new cases, with 50 per cent, coming from fully-vaccinated residents.
[VinyardGazette] In an email Monday, Martha's Vineyard Hospital spokesman Marissa Lefebvre confirmed that there is one patient currently hospitalized with the virus. Ms. Lefebvre said the patient was hospitalized Sunday in serious condition.

According to a follow-up email from Ms. Lefebvre, the patient had only received their first dose of the vaccine.

The state Department of Public Health reported in its August 5 update that 88 per cent of Dukes County has been fully vaccinated, based on 2019 census data.
So only 1% of infections are bad enough to need hospitalization? Surely that’s a good thing, exactly what the vaccines are supposed to accomplish.. Perhaps at some point we’ll be informed of the health status of this patient — whether as expected the patient is elderly, in poor health, or otherwise immunocompromised.
