More breakthrough COVID-19 cases reported among vaccinated people in Washington

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."

It won’t be long.

In Washington State, eh?

Where that beautiful Liberal Utopia of Seattle is located.

I wonder, not a conspiracy but just a thought, if this is Sabotage.

If the people in question didn’t really get the vaccine and only got injected with sterile water.

Is it only white people getting infected after vaccination by Militant Black nurses?

Someone or some people wanting to keep Covid going?
The reasons could be numerous.

So many questions but it’s noteworthy that this type of oddity seems to be taking place once again in Leftist controlled locations.......

There was some talk early on that ACE2 inhibitors might be of benefit against the disease. Haven’t heard much about it recently.

From the subheader:

"State officials report 217 fully vaccinated Washingtonians have tested positive for COVID-19 as of April 3. That's about 0.01% of fully vaccinated people."

And...

"A total of five people are suspected to have died after contracting COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, most of whom the department said are between 67 and 94 years old and had multiple underlying health conditions. Four were long-term care residents."

And before the usual accusations are posted, those are quotes from the news article--not my words.

[familyop]

And 0.01% of fully vaccinated people is 1 out of 10,000.

Do some serious research on vaccines and the 1918 flu.

The same story is unfolding. Too many times through history citizens have been the guinea pigs. It’s unfolding in our lifetimes and too many are oblivious to history.

So go get your shot if you’re so confident. And then own the deaths that you led to the grave with your imperial wisdom.

...please post back back in eighteen months if you’re still around.

As for this household, we’re smarter than to believe propaganda, but whatever you do, do NOT post a a prayer request for you or your loved ones.

You’ve been told the truth.
We won’t listen.

Scary!

“Well generally I agree with your comment but that 95% number doesn’t mean 95% won’t get infected. It just means 95% will not have severe symptoms. No vaccine prevents infection, they just teach the immune system how to fight it so if/when a person is infected it can be killed off quickly....”
***********************************************************
The 95% from the clinical trials mean that, of those vaccinated, 95% were prevented from getting SYMPTOMATIC Covid-19. And of the 5% who still got symptomatic Covid-19, almost all were prevented from developing severe disease.

After the clinical trials, further studies showed that the vaccines prevented 90% of infections. Having an infection prevented doesn’t mean that the person wasn’t exposed to the virus with the virus attempting a DETECTABLE infection. If such virus exposure happened, the vaccinated individuals’ immune systems were so primed that they RAPIDLY destroyed the invading viruses before they could establish a detectable infection. Again, almost all of the 10% who developed an infection were either NOT symptomatic or were symptomatic but with non severe disease.

12% of the 217 patients were hospitalized. That’s 26 patients out of .01% who tested positive (that is, times .0001 for .01 percent). So 12% (.12) of (x) .0001 (.01 percent).

1.2e-05

Hmmm.

0.000012

1.2 one-millionths

1.2 out of a million.

The vaccine looks good under logic.

[Jane Long]

Please ping me if you get the answer.

[familyop]

"So it is reasonable, imo, to wonder if the 2nd shot doesn't fade out at some point - who knows when?"

With the Moderna, well over 50% at 200 days, which is very good for sufficient immunity. I'll look up a link if time allows.

You might also want to see comment #64, comment #65 and comment #70, where I showed some simple math to put the numbers from the posted article in logical perspective.

“What is the percentage of the population to have contracted COVID? And how does that compare to the percentage projected to catch COVID notwithstanding the vaccine?”
**********************************************************
I have no idea how many Americans have “contracted COVID” and I suspect no one else does. This is because many infections are entirely ASYMPTOMATIC or are SYMPTOMATIC but the person just quietly clears the disease. I wish we knew the answer to that question and to the related question of when will we reach herd immunity.

I also don’t know the answer to your second question other than to say the percentage of the vaccinated who later catch COVID will be VASTLY LOWER than the percentage of the UNvaccinated who later catch COVID while remaining unvaccinated.

And if YOU know the answers to your questions, please share.

Maxine Waters says stick a vac (vacuum not vaccine) up your nose to get the COVID out. Get in the faces of COVID and tell them. People need more vacs and less breakthroughs.

[David Chase]

Very good post.

I should leave room in my mind for the fact that the Pfizer vaccine for example is at best 92% effective in preventing the virus.

So 0.01% is reasonable.

Is the claim of 95% effectiveness limited to just Americans or was that on a worldwide basis? Worldwide, stats are showing that about 1.5% of the world’s population have come back positive. So 95% effectiveness when only 98.5% of the population have contracted it doesn’t sound very good to me.

“I also don’t know the answer to your second question other than to say the percentage of the vaccinated who later catch COVID will be VASTLY LOWER than the percentage of the UNvaccinated who later catch COVID while remaining unvaccinated.”

I don’t know if that’s true or not but that will ultimately give us the answer on effectiveness. We will also need to compare death from ALL CAUSES on the vaccinated vs unvaccinated.

Sorry, NOOB, I can’t do your research for you. I will advise that DuckDuckGo.com is your friend. And I also can’t take time to tutor you in rudimentary mathematics.
