CDC has stopped counting every 'breakthrough' Covid infection in fully vaccinated people: Experts warn agency's new method of only collecting data on patients who are hospitalized or die could miss patterns in who gets sick after their shots
Daily Mail ^ | 05/11/2021 | MARY KEKATOS SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stopped counting every infection among people fully immunized with the COVID-19 vaccine who later tested positive for the virus.

So-called 'breakthrough cases' occur when people contract coronavirus at least 14 days after receiving their final dose of the vaccine.

As of April 26, 9,245 Americans out of more than 95 million fell ill with COVID-19 after being vaccinated, about 0.009 percent.

However, at the beginning of May, the CDC revealed it will no longer report all breakthroughs and instead only those that lead to hospitalization or death, as first reported by Bloomberg.

According to the CDC, nine percent of the breakthrough infections, or 835, have resulted in hospitalization and one percent, 132 people, have died.

But an expert tells DailyMail.com that now is not the time for the federal health agency to change their methods of data collection, and stress that it could lead to missing patterns in who gets sick after their shots.

In a statement, a spokeswoman from the CDC told DailyMail.com that the agency is transitioning to only reporting on specific cases 'to help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance.'

The new method is to hide the real data. Just shut up and get the jab.

“it could lead to missing patterns in who gets sick after their shots.”

Um, the ones who get hospitalized or die are the ones who got sick after being vaxxed.

FYI, early data suggests that plump, post-menopausal women with diabetes are in trouble.

Why don’t the stop reporting ALL cases that don’t lead to hospitalisation or death?

We all know why.

“Fully immunized” but you can still get DEAD from the virus.

During the Election, Biden said our Salvation was testing, and, of course, he blamed Trump for not doing more testing.

Now, all his minions are saying the Tests are too sensitive.

They don’t like the Results, so they want to shelve the Tests.

In short, their new Political Football is in ostracizing and shaming Trump Voters.

Can’t you see that is on purpose? The truth must never be acknowledged.

That would be intentional.

Artificially elevate cases to get people to take the jab

Depress data to show it doesn’t work as promised.

That a feature, not a bug.

Once vaccines were rolled out, they also changed who would be tested and how they would be tested.

The PCR test is not valid for Covid, but let’s play along for a moment because they are using it anyway.

The vaccinated PCR tests will be run at a lower number of cycles resulting in fewer false positives.

The unvaccinated PCR tests will continue to be run at levels which render them meaningless due to high false postives of over 97%.

This is the only way they could make it seem like people benefitted from the vaccines.

Pfizer’s trial data showed less than 200 among the unvaccinated, and less than 20 among the vaccinated tested positive for Covid-19, using the invalid PCR test.

But a few thousand people appeared to be ill, and yet the invalid PCR test results were negative. So Pfizer called these groups of vaccinated and unvaccinated trial participatns who appeared to be ill but with negative PCR tests, “Suspected Covid” and DID NOT COUNT THEM in the trial data.

Had those people been counted as Covid based on symptoms, Pfizer’s ‘vaccine’ would be around 19% ‘effective’ using the silly Relative Risk calculations that ‘vaccine’ companies use.

yes and they WILL miss counting/documenting/door knocking & tracking the gazillions of IA’s pouring across the border because the neo-feudalists only want to eliminate the IQ’s capable of reading the Constitution

Yep... that’s because none of the three are designed to keep you from getting COVID, they were designed to curtail the severity of the symptoms. The smallpox vaccine is the only vaccine which did what it was supposed to do.

CDC only wants to track Trump people.

Hate is their passion.

They live to serve Biden.

Remember, FOX fired Trish Regan when she said the Democrats were politicizing the Virus.

You mentioned a couple important points. The inconsistency in data collection and methodologies throughout the last year and a half has made meaningful analysis nearly impossible, and generated a lot of well-deserved skepticism. The CDC no longer has any credibility.
