Nearly 6K fully vaccinated Americans got COVID-19 – out of 66M: CDC
Fox News ^ | 04/16/2021 | Gabrielle Fonrouge

65 percent of those infected were women, while more than 40 percent were people over the age of 65.

Approximately 5,800 fully vaccinated Americans — out of 66 million who received the shots — still became infected with COVID-19, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data reported Thursday.

The infections, dubbed breakthrough cases — or positive test results that occur at least two weeks after a person gets their final coronavirus vaccine dose — represents about 0.008 percent of Americans who are fully vaccinated, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Statistically, that's actually impressive. While the vaccine isn't a effective as the tetanus vaccine (which is just about infallible), in real world observations, it's way more effective than the seasonal flu vaccines.

Statistically it's meaningless considering millions of Americans have had C19 (pre and post vaccination) and not known it given they are/were asymptomatic.

If it’s true.

If most WuFlu vics are asymptomatic, how in Hades does anyone know for sure?

The period is shorter than the comparison period for COVID. COVID has been around well over a year (they don't talk about the early cases). COVID caused 1 in 10 people to have known cases and at least 1 in 5 counting all the infections that were never detected. After a few months we have 1 in 10,000 cases in vaccinated people. That will go up with time, probably approaching 1 in 1000. It may go higher than that.

Bottom line the vaccine is very good but not that good compared to other vaccines.

They have done a ton of random antibody testing to show how many people had it and didn't know it. It varies by location but in general the hidden cases are about as numerous as the detected cases.

So here you come with name calling when you have absolutely no idea how many Americans, post vaccination, have contracted C19 and not known it. Care to pull a number out of your backside, or is ignorance your preferred state?

A recent projection for the third covid surge in the UK estimates that 60%-70% of those who die or become hospitalized will be people who received the vaccine.


In their forecast, the key metrics of hospitalisations and deaths are dominated (60-70%) by those who are fully vaccinated. Yeah, no typo. Because vaccine failure in the most at-risk where uptake is high will be more serious than susceptibility of the lower-risk unvaccinated. pic.twitter.com/T9lOFwMOPX— Joel Smalley 🌸 (@RealJoelSmalley) April 9, 2021

- Prevnar, #2 for deaths reported to VAERS, had 27000 adverse event reports, 314 of those are death. It’s been in use for 11 years.

The covid vaccines adverse event reports are running 1.65-1 over prevnar, and the deaths are running 5.18 over prevnar, in just five months.

- The VAERS report for the all the diphtheria vaccines grouped together shows 482 deaths from DECADES of them being used, many millions more than covid vaccines.

As of a week ago the covid vaccines hit 3.38 times that number - in five months.

No thanks, long since given up trying to educate people who deny science and math.

I'm just curious, but do you understand that we evaluate the efficacy of every other vaccine in the same exact way?

For instance, we don't do serological studies to estimate flu infections and deaths every year. For a variety of reasons, before COVID doctors/hospitals didn't even do PCR tests to confirm that the patient suffering from ARDs who was in the ICU had the flu. Instead, it was presumptive that the patient experiencing 'flu-like symptom' before developing ARDs had the flu and that's what would be reported to the CDC. But, these flu diagnosis were almost never confirmed with genetic testing.

Epidemiological studies - both of the diseases themselves and of the vaccines that are developed to combat them - are almost always based - in varying degrees - on estimates. That's just how that science works.

People who die with COVID are considered to have died of COVID.

People who die with COVID vaccine are not considered to have died from COVID vaccine.

Statistics from a corrupt establishment mean nothing to me.

So the Trump administration lied to us for a full year about this?

This isn't a vaccine and please tell me when was the last time you got a flu shot after already having had the flu? if the possibility exists that adverse reactions to J&J and the other therapies might be related to a C19 antibody overload, from previous infections, as postulated by some, why are ppl like you pimping this crap?

Contracting the virus isn’t as important to me as is the outcomes of patients who contracted it after having been vaccinated are.

>> as postulated by some,

I have heard folks ‘postulate’ about ufo’s too - should we listen to them?

postulations aren’t a substitute for science and math.

Go ahead and deny the science, you are in good company with the very large number of un educated minorities that are also refusing the vaccine based on their supposed ‘expertise’ on these matters.
