A social media account with more than 240,000 followers posted claims that rising COVID-19 cases must be either fictitious or occurring among vaccinated people because those who are unvaccinated and don’t wear masks also don’t get tested. This assertion is both illogical and untrue. The vast majority of new COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are among the unvaccinated. By most expert accounts, unvaccinated individuals make up more than 97 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations and 99 percent of deaths.
