Some 5,800 Americans have contracted COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated against the virus that causes it, federal officials said April 15.
The Americans contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, despite getting both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told The Epoch Times via email.
Of the 5,800 fully vaccinated people who were confirmed as so-called breakthrough cases, nearly 400 required treatment at hospitals and 74 died.
A little over 40 percent of the infections were in people 60 years of age or older, and 65 percent were female. The CDC declined to make a state-by-state breakdown available, though it has developed a national database where state health department investigators can enter, store, and manage data for cases in their jurisdiction.
The figures were for cases through April 13.
More than 78 million people have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in the United States as of April 15.
“To date, no unexpected patterns have been identified in case demographics or vaccine characteristics,” the CDC stated.
“COVID-19 vaccines are effective, and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control. All of the available vaccines have been proven effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. However, like is seen with other vaccines, we expect thousands of vaccine breakthrough cases will occur even though the vaccine is working as expected.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated during a congressional hearing on April 15 that the causes of the breakthrough cases are being probed. “Some of these breakthroughs are, of course, failure of an immune response in the host. And then some of them we worry might be related to a variant that is circulating. So we’re looking at both,” she said.

So, if you confirm the very preliminary results of the Israeli study which found a higher breakthrough of the African variant against those vaccinated vs non-vaccinated recovered then I expect the number of reinfection cases to increase due to more people being vaccinated.
I wanted the link to the CDC, but “This is a PREMIUM article... unlock access to all articles for just $1 below.”
“ The actual rate in the USA for all age cohorts is 1.8% fatality”
Sorry, Covid stats are so corrupted by politics that there is not even a well meaning source that can provide accurate information. The CDC has admitted that heart attacks, car crash victims and GSW deaths are included as “Covid deaths”.
YOU try to find an accredited, peer reviewed source that you can PROVE is free of corruption from the bogus raw data given to them by the CDC.
And yet I don’t. So why a Covid vaccine?
I meant to put “vaccine” in quotes, because it’s not.

There is also one from Fauci’s group at the NIH that basically says Natural Immunity is Far Superior than the Vaccine, including for the various strains, whereas the vaccine is NOT as effective. and there are ZERO Deaths of Re-Infected since the beginning, that can Not be said of the vaccine.
Interesting.
“So 5800 people out of 75 million vaccinated have contracted COVID? That means what? About 99.997% have not contracted COVID after vaccination? Those are pretty good results I would think.”
I will take those odds anytime.
Actually meant to say “much, much safer *and surer*”... don’t know why I didn’t. Late, I guess.
Saw the Manaus study when it came out and saw enough doubts from professionals that I decided to wait for more studies on the issue. Haven’t seen them. Would expect to.
It’s sheer idiocy to claim their is NO protection from wild infection.
Don’t adapt an extremist anti-anti-vaxxer viewpoint or you’ll look as foolish as they do.
Regards and good luck.
You have it exactly backwards. I’m not talking about a gov’t requirement at all. I’m talking about individuals (your “you”) on their own initiative considering others as well as their own wellbeing. This is called responsibility, and, without it, there can be no freedom and barely even civilization, in the finer sense of the latter word.
In actuality, this IS a command, the 2nd greatest, straight from Jesus himself: Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Government’s role, IMO, should be limited as much as possible to education and advice. Not coercion.
If I’m reading this report correctly the CDC states “The crude infection fatality rate (IFR) for both the BOP and US was 0.7%.”
