Wow. The first two comments on HN are anti-vax propaganda, obfuscation, and racism. It’s not a logical stretch to say that lower vaccination rates leads to higher infection rates. And it’s pretty well documented that herd immunity drops off pretty quickly with vaccination rate.

And the HN ideal should be to rigorously investigate even a logical inference like that. Yet when a post does just that, it’s met with a racist suggestion that middle eastern migrants are causing the uptick. No citations.

Very disappointing reaction.
