223 People Have Died With COVID-19 After Getting Fully Vaccinated: CDC
https://www.theepochtimes.com ^ | May 17, 2021 Updated: May 17, 2021 | BY ZACHARY STIEBER

Over 1,100 people in America have been hospitalized with COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated against the virus that causes it and over 220 have died, according to newly updated figures from a top U.S. health agency.

The number of hospitalizations among the fully vaccinated is up to 1,136 and the number of deaths among the same population is 223 as of May 10, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The statistics published by the CDC are an accumulation of reports from 46 U.S. states and territories, but those that are not sharing breakthrough hospitalization and death numbers is not clear.

However, the numbers could be undercounted because “national surveillance relies on passive and voluntary reporting, and data might not be complete or representative,” according to the CDC.

Breakthrough metrics refer to cases, hospitalizations, or deaths among people who have seen two or more weeks elapse since receiving the final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine—the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine or the second shot of either the Moderna or Pfizer jab.

Of the people who died after being fully vaccinated, 42 were asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19, according to the CDC. Additionally, 342 of the hospitalizations were asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19.

“Many, many hospitals are screening people for COVID when they come in, so not all of those 223 cases who had COVID actually died of COVID. They may have had mild disease, but died, for example, of a heart attack,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

Under the usual counting program, people who have not been vaccinated but who die of heart attacks or other causes are typically listed as a COVID-19 death.

The death rate among the fully vaccinated is “extraordinarily low” when taking into consideration the death rate of COVID-19 itself, Walensky added.

Some 115 million people had been fully vaccinated as of May 10.

The CDC had been sharing the number of breakthrough COVID-19 cases, but is no longer. Before it stopped, the agency said 9,245 people as of April 16 tested positive for the disease at least two weeks after getting their final shot. The numbers were again from 46 U.S. states and territories and said to be a likely undercount.

COVID-19 is caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

Clinical trials showed the Pfizer jab to be 95 percent effective in preventing infection by the virus; the Moderna shot to be 94 percent effective; and the Johnson & Johnson jab to be 66.9 percent effective.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was studied later than the others.

No other shots are currently authorized for use in the United States.

The CDC last week dramatically altered previous masking guidance, saying fully vaccinated people can go without masks in many indoor settings.

“We now have science that has really just evolved even in the last two weeks that demonstrates that these vaccines are safe, they are effective, they are working in the population, just as they did in the clinical trials, that they are working against our variants that we have here circulating in the United States, and that, if you were to develop an infection even if you got vaccinated, that you can’t transmit that infection to other people,” Walensky said on ABC’s “This Week.”

If people are vaccinated “they’re safe,” she added.

She also said health officials are trying to figure out how there was a COVID-19 outbreak among the New York Yankees, who were mostly vaccinated.

“I would consider that, when you look at the details that I’m aware of, seven of those eight were completely asymptomatic. The eighth was a mild case. They were detected on routine testing that generally doesn’t happen in many other populations. This is the vaccine working,” she said. “This means that you didn’t get infected—or you didn’t get a severe infection. You didn’t require hospitalization. You didn’t require death [sic], and most likely those people were not transmitting to other people.”

A ninth team member has tested positive, an official said on Sunday.

“We’re just doing the best we can with it,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Fortunately, he’s another one that feels good. So we’ll just continue to try and be vigilant and handle it as best we can.”

RE: 223 People Have Died With COVID-19 After Getting Fully Vaccinated: CDC

There were two promises that the Health Authorities gave us about the Vaccine:

1) Even if you were to be infected with Covid after taking the full vaccine, you will either be asymptomatic or your symptoms will be mild;

2) You will NOT DIE from Covid.

If 223 is the number they admit to, I wonder what the real number is.

The vaccines do not work. This was never about covid. It was about injecting people with this poison.

A year ago, a motorcycle accident could be a “COVID death” if the dead guy had a positive test.

Today? They are eager to make the very important distinction that some “deaths with COVID” may be reported after vaccination, but it’s OK. Nothing to see here.

So basically they’re saying you are mostly safe taking the vaccine and the number of deaths attributed is “extraordinariy low”. And you can say the same thing about people who aren’t getting the vaccine. And all the number games used in how they count COVID19 deaths is BS. You can use numbers to push whatever agenda you like.
I don’t have an agenda, I just have legitimate concerns about experimental injections.

220 dead out of 115,000,000 vaccinated shows that it is far lower than non-vaccinated.

1100 hospitalizations out of 115,000,000 is also extremely low and far better than the 90%+ protection promised from the testing phase of the vaccines.

How can anyone look at these numbers and believe the vaccines do not work?

So of the 123,000,000 Americans that have been fully vaccinated, 224 have died?

If that is the case, being fully vaccinated not only may protect you from getting Covid, but from dying of almost any cause.

Taking the regular flu vaccine has never been made mandatory by the feds. Why the big push now to get the American people injected with an untested vaccine for a virus that is no more harmful than the standard flu that hits us every year? Red flags everywhere on this one!

Even having COVID doesn’t protect you. This is not a normal “virus”. A friend of ours had it. She said she was sick but not terribly sick. In less than 6-months she got it a second time. The second time it put her in the hospital. She tested positive both times. So, if having it twice in six months doesn’t give you protection what makes anybody think the “vaccine” is any better?

This whole thing is really squirrely.

Exactly. This vaccine has not gone through the extensive clinical trials that all vaccines and medications undergo before they’re approved for use. That doesn’t make us a bunch of anti-vaxxers if we have legitimate concerns of this particular vaccine.

Just incredible how much lying and deceit medical "professionals" are mixed up in, with the CCP virus.

They are either ignorant, deliberately looking the other way/keeping silent, or actively involved, in the biggest deception in history.

In the meantime, suffering continues, lives are ruined, businesses destroyed, people dying, as the billionaires rake in more money and plot further control and destruction.

Unbelievable.

You can’t argue with obtuse.
