9,969 Breakthrough COVID-19 Cases In Massachusetts, That’s Just 0.23% Of Vaccinated People
CBS Boston ^ | 08/10/2021 | Bill Shields

BOSTON (CBS) – The number of breakthrough COVID infections in Massachusetts is nearing 10,000, but a closer look at the numbers shows the vast majority of fully vaccinated people are protected.

Just a few short weeks ago, it appeared that we were going to have a carefree summer, but COVID’s delta variant brought caution back into our lives. Even the vaccinated have their guard up.

On Tuesday, the state put out its latest vaccine report, which includes the number of cases in vaccinated people. As of August 7, 9,969 out of more than 4.3 million fully vaccinated people came down with COVID. That’s just .23%…

THIS IS SIGNIFICANT!

We are in the middle of summer, when sickness is virtually non-existent, and a significant number of Massachusetts residents are experiencing breakthrough infections!?

Watch for this number as we approach cold and flu season!

Isn’t that about the same number of deaths with no vaccine at all?

So it’s a net zero Government Solution.

How much $ did we spend to gain nothing?

Are they still including gunshot wounds as covid deaths?

I will bet the vast majority of them can be traced to “Pride Month” events in June. What is it that they are so proud of?

but a closer look at the FAKE numbers shows the vast majority of fully vaccinated people are GETTING INFECTED AGAIN.

The propaganda has me confused—are we supposed to panic because the “killer virus” is on the loose, or can we relax now that the vaccine has solved the problem.

They can’t have it both ways!

I’d like to see what % of the total cases in the past month are jabbed. We have 70+% of the adults that have done 2 doses. That number should be zero if we listen to Dr. Faux-ci.

"As of August 7, 9,969 out of more than 4.3 million fully vaccinated people came down with COVID. That’s just .23%…"

And that is a ridiculous, meaningless statistic. The only relevant ratio is how many vaccinated people who were exposed to the virus came down with COVID.

Of course no mention of what percentage of breakthrough cases are people who previously had covid. I’m guessing because the number is smaller than the percentage of people who had the vaccine and were infected.

There is some diabolical reason they want literally everyone on the planet to have their vaccine.

Too bad that don’t compare that rate against their unvaccinated case rate. I know in my county the breakthrough rate is only 0.15%, which seems good. But the county-wide rate is much lower at 0.07%, indicating most of our current cases are vaccinated breakthroughs.

Is that 4.3 million fully vaxxed people in the state or what?

They don't say.

9,969 since when? January? They’ve had 357,188 cases since then. So 9,969 is 2.8% of that.

Massachusetts is currently seeing over 1,000 COVID-19 cases a day. COVID-19 doesn’t behave like the flu, which dips to single-digit cases nationally during the summer. Last year, COVID-19 also had a major wave in the summer in the US.

There’s no way to spin this so that nearly all of the cases, hospitalizations, and deaths don’t skew massively to the unvaccinated. There’s not one state in the country where it’s happening any other way. As of late July, Texas had just 43 fully vaccinated deaths from COVID-19 compared to nearly 9,000 total deaths since February. (https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/21/coronavirus-texas-vaccinated-deaths/) Every COVID-19 death in Maryland in June was unvaccinated. (https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/07/us/maryland-unvaccinated-covid-deaths/index.html) In Florida, Governor DeSantis has stated that 95% of COVID-19 cases requiring hospitalization are among the unvaccinated. (https://www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/vaccines-are-saving-lives-desantis-stresses-importance-of-shots-as-florida-covid-cases-spike-criticizes-mask-mandates/)

Every state, red and blue, same results: nearly all cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are among the unvaccinated. Serious COVID-19 illness or death among fully vaccinated persons are the exception to the rule, and those exceptions are a tiny fraction of the total in every single place you look.

What a dishonest take.

“Very few vaccinated people overall are getting sick”.

Is still true if you remove the word “vaccinated” and always has been.

They made this jail with the panic to get Trump last year, and now can’t get out of it. Some don’t want to get out of it.

I’ll just leave this article here. It’s a clue that the 3rd shot ‘booster’ is not going to ‘fix’ the problem.

I simply do not believe MSM, the CDC or the WHO. Hell, I don’t even believe my own doctor. It is a steady drumbeat...get vaccinated...get vaccinated....get vaccinated.

Only 9,969 Breakthrough COVID-19 Cases?

That is a helluva lot more than zero for a vaccine.

I wonder:
“How many breakthrough cases do they have each year for the flu?”
