There is simply too much evidence to the contrary. And even if they are right, how may of them were needless because some people made poor decisions to put infected people in the nursing homes all over the nation? The very first real outbreak in my town actually happened in a nursing home of all places. Before that hit the local airwaves and newspaper, there were literally less than 20 covid cases in a county of way over 200,000 people. Then it hit one nursing home, then another, then another. At first it was almost like nursing homes were the only ones having outbreaks. It was pretty freakin scary to be honest. Like worst case situation type of thing.

I agree.
It spreads very easily, and is often spread from someone who is asymptomatic or mild symptoms.
Heck, when this first started, a lot of people may have had it but thought it was something else due to similar symptoms as other viruses (cold, flu, etc).

There's no doubt that the vaccine is helping though, as those being hospitalized right now are 97+% unvaccinated. Also, the delta variant is worse and more contagious compared to the original strain from a year ago.
