Of the total 6,512 deaths recorded in August 2022, 58.6 percent of the deaths were attributed to vaccinated or boosted people, and seem to be a sign of a growing trend where vaccinated individuals are increasingly becoming the majority in COVID-19 mortalities.
In January 2022, COVID-19 mortalities in the vaccinated was still the minority with 41 percent of the data related to vaccinated or boosted individuals.
However, analysis of the CDC data from June and July showed over 50 percent of deaths were being reported in vaccinated individuals, with 62 and 61 percent reported respectively.
“We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Cynthia Cox, the vice-president of the Kaiser Family Foundation told the Washington Post in an article dated Nov. 23.

Cox, while in support of COVID-19 vaccination, gave three reasons that may explain why.
One was that the majority of Americans have at least been given the primary series. Her second reason is that elderly, who have the greatest risk of dying from COVID, are also more likely to take up vaccinations.
Cox’s final reason was that the potency of the vaccine will wane over time and as variants become more resistant, and therefore recommended more booster uptake.
COVID-19 vaccination effectiveness has been shown to wane dramatically over the period of a few months, sometimes falling into negligible efficacy.
Professor Jeffrey Townsend from Yale University, biostatistician, and lead author to a research study evaluating natural and vaccinated immunity against COVID-19, wrote in an email to The Epoch Times that at this stage in the pandemic, rather than comparing the vaccinated against the unvaccinated, it is more helpful to look at an individual’s time since last exposure instead, with exposures meaning vaccinations or infections.
“Most people have had some kind of exposure, the time since last exposure, along with what the last exposure was, dictates the level of immunity and can explain most variation in susceptibility, morbidity, and mortality,” Townsend wrote.
Currently, long term studies on immunity against COVID-19 have shown that whether a person is vaccinated or infected with COVID-19, their immunity wanes over time.
Other research compared natural immunity with vaccinations often showed that vaccination tends to wane at a much higher rate than that of natural infection.
Some scientists also posited that mRNA vaccines may interfere with the body’s natural immune response. Since the current technology used in mRNA vaccines may “hide the mRNA from cellular defenses and promote a longer biological half-life and high production of spike protein,” according to a June 2022 paper published in Food and Chemical Toxicology. The spike protein is the main pathogenic part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Internal medical physician and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough told The Epoch Times that the pandemic was only driven by the unvaccinated in 2020, where there were no vaccines available, and from 2021 it was mostly the vaccinated people who were dying from COVID-19. He reasoned that it is simply because the vaccine did little to control mortality.
“[The CDC data] is far too late in drawing that conclusion, [the vaccinated] probably assumed the majority sometime during 2021,” said McCullough.
In 2020, more than 385,000 COVID deaths were documented by the CDC, whereas in 2021, when vaccinations were rolling out, there were more than 463,000 COVID-19 deaths.
By June of 2021, around 53 percent of the U.S. population had received their first dose and 44 percent were fully vaccinated.
Yet there was little difference in COVID-19 mortality cases between the first half of 2021 and the second half, with over 244,000 cases (more than 50 percent of the whole year) reported from July to December.
“It certainly can’t be a situation where we blame the unvaccinated for COVID deaths. And we certainly wouldn’t conclude that the vaccines made any impact on us as the majority of deaths happened during the era of vaccinations,” said McCullough.
Data from other countries have also demonstrated higher rates of vaccinated patients being hospitalized with COVID as vaccination rates overall rose.
As early as January 2022, hospitalization data coming out from the state of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia showed that a greater proportion of hospitalized patients were vaccinated. The vaccinated contributed to 50.3 percent of ICU presentations as compared to the 49.1 percent who were unvaccinated.
NSW was the only state that continued to track and publicize the vaccine status of the people being hospitalized in Australia. It is one of the most vaccinated places; by Nov. 24, over 80 percent of people over the age of 16 received their first boosters.
The most recent weekly data from NSW continued to show that the vaccinated make up the majority of COVID hospitalizations, ICU admission, and deaths. The most recent report, dated to Nov. 12, showed that unvaccinated patients contributed to 21 percent of COVID deaths, and less than 1 percent of hospitalizations and ICU admissions.
However, it should be noted that there was only 24 cases of COVID deaths reported in the report, with 440 hospitalizations and 40 ICU admissions, suggestive of a decline in disease severity.
Mortality data from Manitoba in Canada in the week July 31 to Aug. 6, 2022 also showed that while the boosted population made up 70 percent of all COVID mortalities, the unvaccinated contributed to less than 10 percent of deaths. This is with 43 percent of the population boosted.
Reports out of the UK also showed similar findings. A report (pdf) published on March 31, 2022 showed that almost 73 percent of COVID mortalities were in boosted individuals while 10 percent were attributed to unvaccinated people. At the time, over 57 percent of the population received a booster shot and 73 percent received their primary doses.
McCullough added that with the decrease in overall disease severity with Omicron, the data may not present an accurate understanding on COVID deaths.
“The CDC death data has to be interpreted with caution, because they’re not adjudicated as dying of COVID. They can actually die with COVID.”
The CDC’s website currently estimates that only 10 percent of COVID-19 deaths have COVID as the contributor of deaths. Therefore, there may be cases counted as a COVID mortality even if COVID was not the primary driver for the death.
McCullough gave the example that a person may be admitted to the hospital for a heart attack and test positive on the COVID test from having contracted the disease 6 months ago.

Awesome vaccine.
I’m so glad we locked down.
Pandemic of the Vaccinated.
But I bet the COVID deaths for the vaccinated were less painful than for the unvaccinated. /s
Want something to blow your mind of the COVID scamdemic?

Mostly peaceful deaths.
Not too many fat, old diabetics with COPD in the Dark Continent.
My doctor nailed it 2 years ago
Not a vaccine - Not safe - Not effective.
I’m still a Control Natural. Haven’t had it, don’t expect to catch it. Vitamins C & D and Zinc.
Not much response from the vax Nazi’s or the ones hoodwinked into taking the jabs. Crickets.
Biden’s Covid vax hoax should be a good reminder that anything senile Joe supports or mandates is evil….from abortion to gay marriage to his Ukie war.
When will America wake up?
Same, but also Quercetin and Magnesium.
I know others take NAD+.
Recently I got my Novavax booster (traditional protein-based vaccine.) And, I feel super fine.
Dang, if only they had taken 30 or 40 more boosters. If only...
heard someone on news today say that kids and young adults get zero benefit from gettign vaxxed- (and in my opinion open themselves up to possible harm if they do)- there is only a slight advantage for older folks with several comorbidities apparently- there was a report a year so so ago that stated it was only like 11% better chance of surviving for the elderly with comorbidities- (I have no idea what current % might be) that isn’t very significant at all- and again- they risk clots, heart problems, and dying from the shots-
Post 5 in the thread pretty much sums up the ineffectiveness of the shots-
“I know others take NAD+.”
I do, along with the others mentioned by other posters.
#pureblood4life
Taking care of one’s self should always be the number one priority.
Prevention, so one doesn’t get sick in the first place.
(as in diabetes, obesity, smoking, booze, drugs, stress, lack of sleep, etc)
If you do get a virus, one’s body is prepared.
An aside, I take a morning greens drink and fish oil.
With lunch, Resveratrol and Curcumin.
“I’m so glad we locked down”
I forget, What was it, 14 days or something like that.
Something like that...
Lots of sun there at equitorial latitudes, which is most of Africa. Summer in the far south right now. Vitamin D, anyone?
Not much response from the ones hoodwinked into taking the jab?
I’ve been posting on almost every other thread for a year and a half, since I found out I had serious adverse reactions that are still manifest to this day. I’m not the only one here on FR witnessing against the jab, many others too.
True, a lot of pro-vaxxers bullied a lot of people into not mentioning their regrets in getting vaxxed.
I think some of the pro-vaxxers were actually part of a coordinated effort.
[[What was it, 14 days or something like that.]]
Yup- it just seemed like 2 years- lol
