Why vaccinated people dying from Covid-19 doesn't mean the vaccines are ineffective

Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell died on Monday of Covid-19 complications. His family announced that he was fully vaccinated. He was 84 years old, and had multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.

Health officials worry that anti-vaccine activists will seize upon Powell's death to make the claim that vaccines don't work. If you can still die after being vaccinated for Covid-19, what's the point of getting the vaccine?

CNN: When we see vaccinated people dying from Covid-19, how do you explain that vaccines are still worth taking?

Dr. Leana Wen: We need to start with the science and what the research shows. The Covid-19 vaccines are extraordinarily effective in preventing illness and especially severe disease. The most recent data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that they reduce the likelihood of testing positive for Covid-19 by six-fold and the likelihood of death by 11-fold.

That means that if you are vaccinated, you are six times less likely to get Covid-19 than someone who's unvaccinated. And you are 11 times less likely to die from Covid-19 compared to an unvaccinated person. That's really excellent.

They ignore the elephant in the room, what are the risk of taking the vaccine when you have issues like cancer?

[Huskrrrr]

No longer following ‘THE SCIENCE’?

“Dr. Leana Wen: We need to start with the science”

Bwahahahahahahaha

[Maceman]

It doesn’t mean they are effective either.

“That means that if you are vaccinated, you are six times less likely to get Covid-19 than someone who’s unvaccinated. And you are 11 times less likely to die from Covid-19 compared to an unvaccinated person. “

All stated with absolutely NO PROOF!

This is XiNN.

They won’t give it up will they?
“The vaccine is safe and effective.”
But it doesn’t stop you from getting GOVID-19 or from spreading it. It MIGHT reduce the chance of hospitalization or death. But, with a survival rate of 99%+, how can you tell?
And there are the folks dying from the notavax.

if you are an “expert” on CNN, means you are a true bullsh*tter..

[Little Ray]

We’re going to need a new word for real, actual science.

[cherry]

the vaxxes are doing EXACTLY what they were meant to do.....

[Skywise]

Are you going to believe your lying eyes or just obey us?

[CatOwner]

Yep. Sadly, we have no independent, unbiased testing group in this country. Nearly everything is political. Our medical groups have moved in that direction.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

Vaccines shouldn’t prevent the disease.

Why do LIBERALS like to lie to themselves?

Sounds like a very scientific worry. </sarcasm>

All deaths with Covid are Covid deaths unless they are with vaccine too in which case they are anything but.

“Follow the bullcrap”

Or, as i am wont to do, follow the lunchwagon

[Harpotoo]

How can a jab work if it doesn’t work?-)

How STUPID do they think we/US are:-)
