In Los Angeles, Breakthrough Infections Are Now 30% Of All New Covid Cases Amid Delta Surge
Deadline ^ | 8-19-21

Posted on 08/20/2021 12:55:33 PM PDT by Tipllub

In March 2021, when Americans first began hearing about the Delta variant of Covid-19, breakthrough infections among fully-vaccinated Angelenos accounted for just 2% of that month’s case total. By June, when Delta accounted for 50% of all variants in Los Angeles, breakthrough infections among fully-vaccinated residents had risen to 20% of all identified cases. In late July, county officials reported that the Delta variant had overwhelmed all others, accounting for more than 90% of all positive tests analyzed for variants. As a result, the ratio of breakthrough cases increased to 30%, local health officials announced today.

While L.A. County numbers for the Delta variant have not been reported for August, as of August 19 Delta had risen to 98% of all tests genomically sequenced in California. Parallel growth in breakthrough infections has not been reported yet, but it is likely significant as well, according to Los Angeles Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer today.

Sounds like all those people got their vaccinations for nothing.

Not for nothing.

Mass vaccination may have made the situation worse.

Which is likely what Deep State intended.

I was trying to figure out what it has to do with us. Do we even have a clue what jab they used? Seemed like apples to oranges. The OP was about Los Angeles after all.

It is simply a comparison of low-vaxxed country with a high vaxxed country.

The low vaxxed country has few cases now than the high-vaxxed country.

Calif has state and research labs that are capable of sequencing, as do most state labs. Don’t forget a private research lab down around Temecula soCal sequenced the original version within days of China’s belated disclosure. Can’t remember the name but it made headlines for a few days

To: alternatives?

see? it hasn’t changed. It was elderly unvaccinated last year that were supposed to isolate or it was their own fault if they got sick. And this year it’s the younger unvaccinated are supposed to isolate and it’s their fault and the elderly’s fault if they get sick. Now everybody’s been guilt-tripped and browbeaten.

Which means people put chemicals into their body to no advantage. The world is simply full of lemmings and they are usually called democrats, but not always.

Yes, but they do NOT test every new specimen from your Walgreens walk in clinic.

They test A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE, so the numbers they are providing are bogus.

All of them who don't die of something else along the way. Every single one.

The shots don't prevent disease. You still catch and spread illness. And unfortunately, these things may be messing with your immune system. Pathogenic priming?

“Most COVID-19 Patients at Israel Hospital Fully Vaccinated, Doctor Calls Mandates ‘Diabolic’”

“The majority of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in an Israeli hospital are fully vaccinated, including those with severe disease, according to one of the hospital's doctors.

On Aug. 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, medical director of Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, said in a Channel 13 TV News interview, “95% of the severe patients are vaccinated.” Furthermore, “85-90% of the hospitalizations are in fully vaccinated people” and the hospital is “opening more and more COVID wards.”..”

I was at McDonald’s drive thru and they had a sign that customers were to have a mask on....
I did not and I did not see anyone else behind me.

Vaxxed makes you more likely to get it, not less. And you are more likely to have a bad reaction to the flu

Are you talking California or US deaths?

USA was over 1k on Thursday. I’d post a picture but I’m on my phone.

Wrong. The end of the story sums it up.

“With these high rates of community transmission, more fully vaccinated people are getting post vaccination infections. However, this very same information also makes it clear how much protection fully-vaccinated people have,” said Ferrer. “Most of us that are fully vaccinated, we don’t get infected. And if we do get infected, we don’t end up hospitalized and they are very unlikely to tragically lose their life to Covid if fully vaccinated.”
