The first of what will undoubtedly be many more updates on covid vaccine breakthrough cases.
"As of April 3, there were 217 breakthrough cases reported in Washington, according to DOH. This is more than double the number of breakthrough cases DOH reported two weeks ago when the state said it had seen 102 breakthrough cases through March 30."
"DOH is investigating three additional suspected deaths related to breakthrough cases. A total of five people are suspected to have died after contracting COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated."
"Since DOH first reported breakthrough cases last month, the agency says the median age of the cases has shifted younger with more people in the 40- to 59-year-old range becoming infected after vaccination."

At least the flu is a real virus
Not one vaccine maker has an actual sample of this virus
Ever heard of that
No live virus
All the attempted vax are based on modeling
This happens when the “authorities” run low on the actual vaccine and start injecting saline. Of course, even with injections of the real vaccine, there is only a “95%” efficacy rate, these unfortunates were in the unlucky 5%.
Perhaps more should be applied to therapeutics and less to the prevention measures.
Indeed. Why do you think they have to give 2 shots, and talk about booster shots? Some even suggesting every 6 months for a booster shot.
There is some data, not a lot but some out there, that show the first dose of the mRNA vaccines are about 90% effective but that it fades to the mid 60% range by week five. I suspect that is the reason for the second shot at week four. So it is reasonable, imo, to wonder if the 2nd shot doesn't fade out at some point - who knows when?
I also have no idea if the vaccines create lasting memory T-cell immunity for covid or the variants.
All that said, we're still talking about relatively small numbers. 200 people out of how many million(s) that got vaccinated in WA?
The Elites’ Plans Are Pure, Unalloyed Evil
Mike Yeadon is a soft-spoken microbiologist and a former Vice President of Allergy and Respiratory Research at Pfizer. He spent 32 years working for large pharmaceutical companies and is a leading expert on viral respiratory infections. He is also a man on a mission, and his mission is to inform as many people as possible about the elite powerbrokers that are using the pandemic as a smokescreen to conceal their real objectives. Here’s Yeadon in a recent interview:
“If you wanted to depopulate a significant portion of the world, and to do it in a way that wouldn’t require destruction of the environment with nuclear weapons, or poisoning everyone with anthrax or something, And you wanted plausible deniability, whilst you had a multi-year infectious disease crisis; I don’t think you could come up with a better plan of work than what seems to be in front of me. I can’t say that’s what they’re going to do, but I cannot think of a benign explanation for why they are doing it.” (”Interview with Dr Mike Yeadon”, The Delingpole Podcast; Minute 44: 25)
I attribute the younger age group being infected now to that age group just recently being allowed to get the vaccines. Prior to that the majority were the elderly.
Some people misinterpreted the initial news on breakthrough cases. Most vaccinated and unvaccinated are not very frequently in contact with covid. Over a 15 month time period less than 10% of Americans tested positive.
The breakthrough cases will continue to rise as the vaccinated have more opportunity to come into contact with the virus.

I’m not surprised. People have a hard time understanding just how small all corona viruses are. Viruses are small to begin with, but the corona family of virus are the smallest. We’re talking a structure composed of about only 100,000 atoms!
The elusive “cure for the common cold” is elusive because the common cold virus is another corona virus. Trying to build and antibody to detect and differentiate something smaller than the wavelength of light is difficult. Maybe not really possible with current technology.
Here’s what I wonder - assuming the vaccines do not stop a person from catching or spreading the virus, but they do a good job at preventing serious illness. Then it seems to me the concept is to mitigate, with the expectation that nearly everyone is going to catch it... only not get very sick from it.
Exactly! And four of the five deaths were long term care residents and all had co-morbidities.
This is just more media fear porn because they want everyone confused and divided.
:-)
on the contrary, we know a lot of things.
guessing and “Truth Nazis” are where everyone gets into trouble.
“There is some data, not a lot but some out there, that show the first dose of the mRNA vaccines are about 90% effective but that it fades to the mid 60% range by week five.”
Do you have a link to the data showing 60% effectiveness by week five?
I agree. But presumably there is no real need to test vaccinated people unless they develop symptoms severe enough to warrant a test. So who really knows what the real contagion is like when so many may be catching and spreading it but not showing any severe symptoms.
I can dig it up. It’s from a study out of Scotland if I recall. It was 35 days. But this only refers to the first shot. It does not include people who got 2 doses.
Also should be noted what we are actually measuring. They were measuring rates of hospitalization or death. So 90%+ reduction during the first 4-5 weeks, but reduction in hospitalization or death dropped to 60% range at day 35 among those who only got the first dose. It may have some biases e.g. who decides when to administer a patient to the hospital or when, vs sending them home for bed rest. So I am not wholly confident in these or any statistics related to covid.
Why do we even need vaccines? Masks stop the virus, right? Follow the science!
It’s being reported the Pfizer vax doesn’t work against the new African variant. Wonder if that variant has hit Washington?
The experiment used medical records covering 5.4 million people, or 99% of the Scottish population and focused on people who had received a single shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, the only two shots authorized in the UK.
One dose helped protect against hospitalization, with effectiveness peaking about five weeks after immunization at 84% effective at preventing hospitalization.
But the follow-up data available beyond that time is where it gets concerning. Effectiveness peaked and then began to decline, going from 84% effective in the fifth week to 61% effective the following week and then 58% beyond then.
It’s unknown whether that trend would continue beyond that, as that’s all the data the researchers had available to crunch in the study. But the findings suggest that protection starts to wane from a single dose after five weeks or so.
