At least 233 staffers at a pair of San Francisco hospitals have tested positive for COVID-19, the majority of whom were fully vaccinated but became infected with the delta variant.
Fifty-five cases were discovered among staff members at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital as of July 31, Cristina Padilla, a public relations officer at the hospital, told The Hill. Of those who tested positive, roughly 75 to 80 percent were fully vaccinated, according to The New York Times. More than 7,000 staff members reportedly work at the facility.
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center, said 183 staff members had tested positive as of Friday, 153 of whom were fully vaccinated, the Times reported.
Most of the infections were reportedly from the highly infectious delta variant, which has taken hold in the U.S. as the dominant COVID-19 strain.
Two of the infected staff members from UCSF Medical Center were hospitalized, according to the Times.
Padilla told The Hill that none of those who tested positive at San Francisco General required hospitalization. Most of the infections caused mild to moderate symptoms, according to the Times.
Asymptomatic cases were also detected through contact tracing. The infections were predominately spread through community exposure, according to Padilla.
The hospital’s chief medical officer, Lukejohn Day, told the Times that the cases would be far worse if staff members were not vaccinated.
“We’re concerned right now that we’re on the rise of a surge here in San Francisco and the Bay Area,” Day said. “But what we’re seeing is very much what the data from the vaccines showed us: You can still get COVID, potentially. But if you do get it, it’s not severe at all.”
Padilla sounded a similar note, writing that vaccinations are effective at averting hospitalizations and deaths.

the truth is getting out about these “vaccines”
Then why were they tested? Is everyone with a runny nose now tested for Covid?
So a bunch of nurses got colds. Stop the presses.
Still using those invalid testing procedures I see. Positive cases without any symptoms don’t mean anything. Never have.
Can you say “nosocomial”?
When the Covid “experts” get something right, would someone please let me know?
Because 7000 people working 12 hour shifts in the same building with random sick people isn't a community.
Test positive but how many are actually sick ?
Likely the vaccine is keeping them from any serious symptoms .

So genius, if it’s ‘NOT SEVERE” AT ALL, then why blame the un-vaxxed and go full chicken-little on us?
Superspreaders.
Virtually nobody of working age will come down with severe symptoms. Virtually only retirees do, statistically speaking.
So it is not relevant that a bunch of young health hot nurses did not develop severe symptoms. Except hot.
Sniffles?
Reality check.
COVID-19 is airborne.
That means, “in the air, everywhere”.
It is ENDEMIC.
We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.
This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.
Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID.
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!

In the past two months I have learned about four acquaintances who have contracted pneumonia.
All four were super-scrupulous about following CDC guidance and were fanatical mask-wearers.
I am almost certain that their bacterial pneumonia was bred in their precious face masks.
IT’S E.V.E.R.W.H.E.R.E!!! Run for your life.
E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E
So... essentially, the un-approved, entirely novel vax gives us the same result as the very cheap, very tested, very safe early treatments ridiculed by the proven untrustworthy authorities.
99.7% of them will survive. The pokes are a success!
