Here is yet another reminder that Covid-19 vaccines are not like gigantic concrete full-body condoms. Concrete condoms, in general, are a bad idea, and fully vaccinated does not mean perfectly protected against Covid-19. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have already been 4,115 reported cases of fully vaccinated people being hospitalized or dying with Covid-19 coronavirus breakthrough infections.
That’s as of June 21, 2021. Nearly half (49 percent) of these cases have been female and a little over three-quarters (76 percent) have been 65 years and older. There were a total of 3,907 hospitalizations and 750 deaths among those who had breakthrough infections, although not all of the hospitalizations may have been due primarily to Covid-19.
As I have described previously for Forbes, a “breakthrough infection” is when a fully vaccinated person still gets infected with the Covid-19 coronavirus, otherwise known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2). The 4,115 number does not represent all breakthrough infections that have happened. They are just reported cases where hospitalizations or deaths happened to occur. Back in April, the CDC stopped keeping track of all reported breakthrough infections, choosing instead to focus going forward just on those in which hospitalizations or deaths were involved.
Therefore, the 4,115 is only the tip of the Kardashian so to speak, meaning that it’s only what’s been obvious and getting attention. The actual total number of breakthrough infections is higher although it isn’t really clear how much higher.

That’s more than 10 time the number of children who died.
But, Biden was saying only the unvaccinated or being hospitalized and dying. This must be the fake news Biden wants to censor.
It was probably death by vaccine.. but delayed.
Stupid article aka Fear Porn. The vaccines were never supposed to prevent infection but to lower the severity of infection and chance of sickness and hospitalization.
A vaccinated coworker got sick and was hospitalized for one day. I got sick a week later and had to take a day off work to rest up. First time I had Covid I was in the hospital for a week!
NO MORE LOCKDOWNS. NO MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
162,000,000 fully vaccinated.
3,907 hospitalizations
750 deaths
Would appear the vaccines are very effective.
So COVID vaccine doesn’t help if you have huge health problems, Go figure, if you are in that population group you have few recourses anyway.
money quote:
“Of course, such Covid-19 precautions will not be needed forever. There will come a time in the near future when the pandemic will be declared over.”
LOL
that’s actually what the author says....for those who want to read the article and then comment
“That’s more than 10 time the number of children who died.”
Vaccines are never 100% effective.
Less effective in elder.
75% of these cases are > 65 years old.
Usually when a binary factor is reported the larger of the two is mentioned; but they list less than 49% are women!
My son in law is one of them. 57 days after his second vaccination he died. Pfizer. He had a healthy check up in Nov. 50 years old, 4 precious grandchildren have no father.
???
So you had COVID-19 twice? Did you get the shots in between?
CDC is now reporting over 12,000 deaths in VAERS; doubled since last week

“A vaccinated coworker got sick and was hospitalized for one day. I got sick a week later and had to take a day off work to rest up.”
So: My 75-year-old mother not vaccinated with heath issues got infected and only had cold like symptoms that lasted two days.
In a couple of weeks, we will see the true fatality rate of Delta. So far it looks like Delta fatality rate is about the same as the flu.
Unfortunately many here won’t read the article, they’ll attack the vaccines because ignorance, antivax, politics and gas lighting.
Unfortunately, some have taken up the leftist habit of ignoring facts over feelings.
