    Mike DeWeert helps us understand The Cases are Picking up in Hawaii; What Does this Mean for us.  We discuss what is happening here and the astonishing combination of ignorance, disinformation, and lack of access on the mainland. In New York, they found that unvaccinated people have 33 times the risk of infection than vaccinated people do.
