BILLINGS - A Yellowstone County woman in her 50s has died of COVID-19 complications after she was previously vaccinated, RiverStone Health officials announced Tuesday.

The woman had an underlying health condition that may have made the vaccine less effective, according to RiverStone. She died Monday, June 7 in a Billings hospital.

She was the first person in Yellowstone County to die of COVID-19 complications following vaccination, according to Pat Zellar, a RiverStone spokesperson.

RiverStone officials said the woman's death underscores the importance of widespread vaccination among county residents. People with compromised immune systems, including cancer patients and organ transplant recipients, may find the vaccine less effective, meaning reduced community spread is the best way to protect them, according to RiverStone.

“We have very vulnerable community members whose health depends on all eligible people getting vaccinated,” said John Felton, Yellowstone County health officer and president and CEO of RiverStone Health in a statement. “I offer my deepest sympathy to the victim’s family and friends. This tragic death is a stark reminder that everyone age 12 and older should get vaccinated, not only to protect themselves, but also to safeguard their family members and neighbors from this highly contagious virus.”

Overall, the Moderna and Pfizer two-dose vaccines have been proven 95% effective at preventing infection, illness and death from COVID-19, according to RiverStone.

So in the world of George Orwell, the failure of the vaccine simply reaffirms the importance of getting the shot.

Folks who have a “compromised” immune system have avoidance of bacterial/viral/fungal exposures as their best, and possibly only, hope.

That seemed odd, too. But the article explains get everybody vaccinated so the disease disappears completely.

What sort of leap of logic is this?

Someone needs to explain to the failed English major who wrote the article that in the real world, not everybody gets vaccinated.

Her “underlying health condition” was the “vaccine”.

The “underlying health conditions” is the story of COVID.

No, it does not mean that. She died of health reasons. If anything, it means if you have ‘underlying health problems’ you should think twice about being vaccinated.

IMO
