This seems strange to me... (Score 0)

Something seems kind of off here, I'm not quite sure what though.

1) I get Idaho warning it's citizens, it's around six hours via I-84 and US-97 and I doubt there is much air travel between the area affected and Idaho but why is Oregon not taking this more seriously if Washington is - given Clark county is part of the Portland Oregon Metro area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_metropolitan_area)? This seems strange to me.

2) Basic science tells me that causation does not prove there is correlation so I'm wondering if there could be something else going on here and not just the vaccination rate of Clark County? It seems like all of the evidence, while it points at the vaccinations is a bit circumstantial. Also, to be clear I'm not disputing that vaccination is good I'm just wondering if there is something else going on in addition as the vaccination rate seems to be a simplistic explanation and it doesn't take into account the rest of the Portland metro area.
