20 of 26 COVID-positive residents in a Kentucky nursing home outbreak were fully vaccinated a month earlier
Life Site News ^ | 05/05/2021

April 28, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Nearly half of the 46 people who tested positive for COVID-19 in a Kentucky nursing facility in March had been fully vaccinated against the virus more than four weeks earlier, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released last week.

Twenty of the 26 COVID-positive residents and four of 18 COVID-positive healthcare personnel had received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech two-shot coronavirus vaccine at on-site clinics January 10 and 31, a full month before the outbreak on March 1, making them “breakthrough” vaccinated cases of COVID.

Two additional COVID-positive residents who had been fully vaccinated eight days before the outbreak were excluded from the CDC’s analysis. 

When the outbreak occurred, 79 of 83 nursing home residents had been fully vaccinated, including more than 90 percent who had received both Pfizer doses a month earlier. CDC experts insist the vaccine should be fully effective two weeks after vaccination.
Among staff, 61 of 116 (52.6 percent) received both shots a month before the outbreak and another five had received their second injections at a clinic in February.  

Data from four unvaccinated residents

No healthcare workers, vaccinated or unvaccinated, were hospitalized or died. 

Three residents died. One was fully vaccinated. Two were not, according to the CDC. 

These would have been two of only four residents of 83 in the facility who chose not to be vaccinated and there is no indication from the CDC why they declined to be vaccinated. 

The CDC report acknowledges that “the health status of residents who declined vaccination might have differed from those who consented to vaccination.” In other words, they may have been extremely ill or frail or in palliative condition near death, although the report does not describe their condition.

Based on the data of four unvaccinated individuals of unknown condition, the researchers led by Alyson Cavanaugh of the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service concluded that unvaccinated residents had three times higher rates of infection as those who were vaccinated residents (75 percent vs. 25.4 percent). 

5,800 ‘breakthrough cases’

The other 22 cases would have been counted among the 5,800 American “breakthrough” cases of coronavirus among fully vaccinated individuals reported to the CDC up until April 13, including 74 deaths. 

The CDC report did not identify the nursing home in the state of Kentucky where the outbreak occurred in March. In February, in an apparently separate incident, three nuns at St. Walburg convent in Kentucky died and 28 were infected though they had recently received a first dose of coronavirus vaccine. 

Prior infection?

“It is a good bet that most, if not all, of the sisters of St. Walburg have been naturally infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus — AND that they were infected at around the time of their first vaccination,” Pennsylvania immunologist Hooman Noorchashm wrote in an open letter to the Sisters of St. Walberg after the incident, imploring them to be tested for infection before taking a second dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

“It is my opinion as a physician and immunologist that persons with recent or occult SARS-CoV-2 infections may be at risk of harm from indiscriminate COVID-19 vaccination — especially the elderly and frail with cardiovascular disease,” he said.

Noorchashm suggested that the sisters first have their blood tested for the presence of IgG antibodies and to perform another PCR assay for the virus immediately before any planned vaccination.

“If you are positive for either of these tests, it is my recommendation that you delay your second shots for a minimum of 6–8 months,” he said, though the sisters were scheduled to have their second shots in May.

If blood tests revealed any nuns to have had a recent natural infection, then they would already “almost certainly” be immune and vaccinating those with recent or current natural infections would risk reactivating, or activating, a “potentially deadly inflammatory response in their bodies,” he said.

The CDC report did not consider the possibility of the vaccination campaigns having activated a dormant infection.

Symptomatic index case

The CDC report blames an unvaccinated, symptomatic healthcare worker at the facility for the outbreak and used the incident to highlight the “imperative” that all healthcare personnel, as well as nursing home residents, receive experimental coronavirus vaccines. The vaccines have only been given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Some media followed with reports that an unvaccinated worker had set off a coronavirus outbreak, “killing 3 residents.”

The CDC report did not explain how a symptomatic healthcare worker was on duty at the facility where it said personnel were screened daily for the coronavirus beginning a year earlier in March 2020 and have undergone twice-weekly SARS-COV2 testing since November 2020. It also did not explain how that person was identified as the “index case” when other vaccinated and unvaccinated workers were infected.

“Despite the overall numbers that occurred during this outbreak, vaccination was associated with a lower risk of being infected, lower risk of developing symptomatic disease, and lower risk of hospitalization and death,” Melissa Brower, a public affairs specialist at the CDC, said in an e-mailed statement. “In fact, vaccination was 86.5 percent and 87.1 percent effective against symptomatic COVID-19 in residents and healthcare personnel, respectively.”

The report estimated vaccine effectiveness against coronavirus infection among residents was 66 percent and among healthcare workers, who had a larger proportion of unvaccinated individuals, was 75 percent.

The researchers acknowledged that its calculation of “hospitalization and death outcomes might be biased” because of the lack of controlling for underlying health conditions.

And there are reports like this one when I filtered by “covid 19”, “death” and the place of vaccine as “senior living”;

“Write-up: pt passed away with an hour to hour and 1/2 of receiving vaccine. per nursing home staff they did not expect pt to make it many more days. pt was unresponsive in room when shot was given. per nursing home staff pt was 14 + days post covid”
https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?IDNUMBER=914961

Think about that, the 88 year old lady had covid, there were no emergency room or Dr. visits, she was expected to die, she was unresponsive when she was given the vaccine, and she died within two hours after the vaccine.

Wow.

BTW this site is much easier to search and includes the reports. https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/index.php

So my guess is that they really died from underlying conditions.

Let's see if they had the antibodies? Maybe they were "experimenting" with these folks.

What do we take from this?
Maybe that the fake vaccines don’t work on the fake virus?

Here's the trial schedule for the Pfizer jab, latter part of Phase 1 and all of Phase 2 & 3, evidently being run concurrently.

Four years total and it was just started last year. https://media.tghn.org/medialibrary/2020/11/C4591001_Clinical_Protocol_Nov2020_Pfizer_BioNTech.pdf

We are the trial participants. Kinda brings new meaning to the phrase; "We're all in this together"

So an "unvaccinated health care worker" gets the blame.

Yet these residents were supposedly fully vaccinated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unless the experiment on the elderly has now concluded at that nursing home, she can’t ‘conclude’ that the ‘vaccine’ was 86.5 and 87.1 percent effective. This is just a snapshot in time about a month after vaccination. Give it a few more months or the 6 month guestimate they are making for the longevity of the fake protection these experimental ‘shots’ provide.

It’s bizarre that they would give this to someone unresponsive. I’ve seen reports that they’ve given it to people in hospice.
In VAERS there was a report of a man (probably 70 years old) battling his way through cardiac events and before leaving the ER once stabilized, being advised by his cardiologist to HAVE THE SECOND DOSE!!!
It’s sociopathy by design.

Not me.

I have chosen to be in the Control Group.

Even the FDA won't approve these jabs for general use. As of today, the FDA has still only approved the vaccine for emergency use.

The vaxx obviously doesn’t work or creepy joe would take off his mask. Since it doesn’t work to prevent the china flu, why are they pushing it so hard?

2 facts which are being ignored here.

Fact #1 : I am familiar with nursing homes because my mother and mother-in-law both were in nursing homes and passed away in hospice there. Yes, people in nursing homes are very sick! They die all the time. Even the minor stress from the vaccine can kill them. Those people should NOT be vaccinated. What they need is effective isolation.

Fact #2 : Vaccine is NOT a suit of armor enveloping you. If you inhale the virus, you will get infected. The difference is (as the commercial says) your body is better prepared to recognize and fight the China virus. This is because the vaccine creates antibodies in your system. That reduces the risk of requiring treatment in the hospital in the isolation ward covered in a plastic tent and connected to a ventilator.

You are obviously smarter than the 150 Million Americans who chose to get the jab, and 95% of American doctors who strongly advise getting the jab.

But what exactly is your medical qualifications? Just wondering since you know more than 95% of doctors.

One of the many complaints of woke leftists is how we are destroying the planet by overpopulation.

I fully expect that by Christmas, the lamestream media is going to be unable to cover up all the reports of vaccinated-induced sterility.

Sleep Joe is portraying how considerate he is. Because the mask only protects OTHERS from YOU in case you cough or sneeze or talk loud. Mask does not protect you from others.

What is important is the breakout cases, not underlying conditions.

“Twenty of the 26 COVID-positive residents and four of 18 COVID-positive healthcare personnel had received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech two-shot coronavirus vaccine at on-site clinics January 10 and 31, a full month before the outbreak on March 1, making them “breakthrough” vaccinated cases of COVID.”

Approval is coming soon from what I am reading. I am guessing FDA is a bureaucracy and those are not known for speed.
