Charleston, WV — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice shared alarming news in his COVID-19 press briefing on August 23, 2021. And while the small state’s local news is barely a blip on the radar of larger networks, the contents should alarm vaccine advocates everywhere.
During the first weeks of the vaccine rollout, West Virginia won gold stars from experts everywhere for its commendable vaccination rate which nearly doubled the national rate. Programs targeting the elderly and at-risk populations were going above and beyond the call of duty. And for younger populations in the state which suffers from poverty and rampant drug use, the vaccine incentives were particularly effective.
However, as vaccines became more readily available and the gentle nudges became all-out shoves, vaccine rates have leveled off. Currently, they stand at 46% of residents having received at least one dose and 39% being fully vaccinated.
Going back to Gov. Justice’s remarks in his briefing, he expressed extreme concern for the latest rates of infection and COVID related deaths stating,
“Also, over the last eight weeks, health officials have seen a 26% increase in cases among fully vaccinated residents, a 21% increase, among the vaccinated, in cases requiring hospitalizations and a 25% increase in deaths among those who have gotten their shots.”
In the remainder of his briefing, Gov. Justice urged residents to take the vaccine and continue distancing and masking. 6,500 additional vaccinations have been administered since the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine, a positive trend in the eyes of jab proponents. However, the surprising data from the state’s latest infection and death rates is hard to ignore, especially when other countries are seeing similar trends.
Public Health England released a briefing on August 6, 202, which outlined infection rates, deaths, variants, and vaccinations. In Table 5 of the report, you can see that in ages fifty and over, there were 389 deaths of those that received two doses and 205 deaths from the unvaccinated. For that age group, the trend continues with infection rates, ER visits, and hospitalizations.
Regardless of vaccination status, these figures are alarming and worth watching. With the emergence of new variants and waning efficacy, a serious risk-benefit analysis needs to happen before the vaccine is approved for younger populations or boosters are mandated.
Arithmetic is hard.
CDC is monitoring vaccinated “breakthrough” cases when hospitalized/fatal.

Pandemic of the “vax”d.
RE: Arithmetic is hard.
How hard is it to understand this ( from the article):
...in ages fifty and over, there were 389 deaths of those that received two doses and 205 deaths from the unvaccinated.
The promise was that there would be almost ZERO chances for dying from Covid if you get fully vaccinated.
Hard for the governor
Bkmk
This whole hoax scamdemic has been a manipulation of statistics. Where did the flu go? The PCR test is 99% false negatives, which they still must be using because the new test is not due out until Dec., so how can anyone believe anything these people say?
The CDC does not have people in the hospitals actually performing tests, they rely on what the hospital tells them. If the hospital doesn’t test for covid the CDC will never know any different.
There are huge differences from hospital to hospital, county to county, and city to city in how testing and cases are recorded and handled.
In one county next to me they do everything possible to jack up their case count, and they want to give everyone a PCR test. In the county I live in, they are exactly the opposite, they are constantly telling the state they have fewer cases than the state reports. It is tough to even get a covid test.
Strange, around here a COVID-19 test is pretty much the 1st thing the hospital does for any flu-like/breathing/pneumonia symptoms...even visitors for inpatients get tested. Broken bones in the ER might get a waiver. ;-)
Yup... And that was very beneficial to Pfizer... A vaccine that causes heart problems at a great rate, but the only thing everybody remembers about AZ is that you can get a blood-clot... And one in every million or so does get one... While dozens and dozens per million suffer heart problems from Pfizer... But the media ignores those reports.
BTW - AZ cost about $5 a shot... Pfizer cost about $40 per shot... But it’s not about the $$$.. Right?
Stats are from England, not WV
That being said, Gov. Justice (R-WV) is still a buffoon.

I sure hope you are wrong about that. The 2/3 of us that are left better fight like hell.
