The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just released brand-new data on the percentage of people who have become infected with COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated.
In those totals, released on Friday, April 30, more than 95 million Americans were fully vaccinated as of Monday, April 26. Of those nearly 100 million fully vaccinated people, only 9,245 became infected with so-called vaccine breakthrough cases. That's an efficacy rate of 99.999.
A total of 5,827 (63 percent) of the cases were women, and 4,245 (45 percent) were adults age 60 and over.
"It is important to note that reported vaccine breakthrough cases will represent an undercount," the CDC said in a statement after the newest results were released. "This surveillance system is passive and relies on voluntary reporting from state health departments which may not be complete.
"Also, not all real-world breakthrough cases will be identified because of lack of testing. This is particularly true in instances of asymptomatic or mild illness. These surveillance data are a snapshot and help identify patterns and look for signals among vaccine breakthrough cases."
The CDC said it will now be releasing data on the number of breakthrough cases on a weekly basis.

Not far from the non-vax survival rate (for healthy people). Just sayin'.
A 99.9999 efficacy rate for a virus with a 99.7% survival rate. But there are still mask mandates.
GMTA.
That was my first thought, too.

CDC “Just sayin”...:-)
The unvaccinated survival rate for COVID-19 infection is 99.35% (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios-archive/planning-scenarios-2020-09-10.pdf).
The vaccines increase that somewhere close to 100% by reducing the risk of infection significantly (~94% reduction in risk for asymptomatic infection and 97% reduction in risk for symptomatic infection) and reducing the severity of symptoms for those who actually do get infected. (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/11/pfizer-covid-vaccine-blocks-94percent-of-asymptomatic-infections-and-97percent-of-symptomatic-cases-in-israeli-study.html)
And 0.65% doesn’t seem like much, but 0.65% of 330 million Americans is 2,145,000. That’s simple math.
What’s the breakthru rate for COVID-19 positive people who have recovered?

Ugur Sahin, BioNTech’s chief executive and co-founder, told reporters on Wednesday that the vaccine his company created with Pfizer will likely require a third booster shot due to data showing a weaker immune response over time in people who received the vaccine, the Associated Press reported.
According to studies, the efficacy of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine drops from 95% to 91% after six months. Sahin said people who receive two doses of the vaccine should get the third dose nine to 12 months after the first shot.
“Accordingly, we need a third shot to get the vaccine protection back up to almost 100% again,” Sahin said. “And then I expect it will probably be necessary to get another booster every year or perhaps every 18 months.”
The vaccine is not just about survival, it’s about not getting the disease in the first place.
“99.999%”
Uh... no that’s not at all what that means. If every last soul who wasn’t vaccinated came down with the disease in that time period, that would be 99.9% Since about 1 in 20 did, that makes it about 95%. And that would be if everyone got vaccinated exactly on 1/1.
Oh noes
😱😱😱😱
We’re all gonna die
A vaccine that can kill you is just not about survival by definition.
So, you’re assuming that all 330 million Americans will get the rona?
If not, why inflate your numbers?
“In those totals, released on Friday, April 30, more than 95 million Americans were fully vaccinated as of Monday, April 26. Of those nearly 100 million fully vaccinated people, only 9,245 became infected with so-called vaccine breakthrough cases. That’s an efficacy rate of 99.999.”
We don’t know the number exposed nor their exposure amount.
At the improbable extreme, only 9,245 were exposed thus yielding ZERO.
Even if the disease had a 100% survival rate, the choice between weeks and months of agony gasping for air vs the vaccine would be a valid one.
You can’t compare the efficacy rate and survival rate directly.
You need to combine the two. If you have a .0001% chance of getting a virus with a 99.7% survival rate that means you have a 99.9997% chance of survival with the vaccine.
You have to decide for yourself if the vaccine is worth the risk, but you should use the correct numbers when deciding.
That’s not correct. There was just a study out of Israel that even said that many, many people who have been vaccinated ARE going to get the virus, only they may have little to NO symptoms, so they will not know they have it - just as people now do not know they have it.
Unfortunately, the people who have been vaccinated will not concern themselves with being fastidious as they were prior to vaccination and they will be able to infect others who have NOT been vaccinated.
There’s a lot of information on this out there.
But that includes 85 year-olds, the obese, diabetics, etc.
It is much, much lower for relatively healthy people (and kids).
A lot of people erroneously posit the issue as boiling down to covid disease vs. covid vaccine. But, of course, that is not the right comparison. It leaves out the most important number. Over the whole 15 month pandemic only 10% of Americans ever tested positive for covid.
