New outbreak of COVID-19 in B.C. care home where residents and staff were already vaccinated (Canada)
CBC ^ | 3-8-21 | Eva Uguen-Csenge

A new outbreak of COVID-19 has been declared at the Cottonwoods Care Centre in B.C.'s Interior Health region where staff and residents had already received vaccines, the provincial health officer announced Monday.

In a live news conference, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said being vaccinated doesn't mean transmission will be stopped and that precautions must remain in place for seniors and care homes.

"You can have transmission even when people are fully vaccinated," she said. "The illness seems to be milder and doesn't transmit as much [and we] won't see rapid explosive outbreaks."

Two staff members and 10 residents have tested positive at the Cottonwoods long-term care facility in Kelowna, which has 221 publicly funded beds. Henry said that all staff and residents at the home were offered immunizations and that there was very high uptake of the vaccine. She said some of the cases were among people who had received two doses of the vaccine.

"This serves to remind us that, while we are confident vaccine is very effective and prevents severe illness and death, it doesn't necessarily mean that all transmission will be stopped."

I have yet another dumb question. Is it true that some of these “vaccine” function quite differently from others?

“She said some of the cases were among people who had received two doses of the vaccine.”

Which means some only had one dose, or no doses at all.

Expected.

So the flu vaccine still doesn’t work...so not surprised. How’s everyone’s reprogrammed DNA though? Everything going as planned- dead, sick, or acceptable receptacle? How about that huge scar on Obama’s head. Some of us knew before he changed his address in D.C. We see you.

What is the possibility that antibodies from the vaccine would trigger a positive test result for the disease?

“it doesn’t necessarily mean that all transmission will be stopped.”

Hate to tell you, transmission will never stop. This is a ludicrous goal.

So they all test positive, but no one gets too sick. Yet the threat remains...supposedly.

Good point. This is what was expected. One dose supposedly helps considerably against both severity and transmission, and two even more. Some transmission among persons in close contact is expected, though.

Among over-80s that’s the best you’re going to get with any of the vaccines. In the case of Pfizer, only 69% showed antibody production.
