Idiots need to read the original story before commenting. More power to you if you are a freeper trusting CDC,NYT,CNN and Covid influencers and vaxx pushers. The “data” and “science” has been a lie since the flatten the curve phase and the vaxx will always be poison. Would you take a M & M out of a total of 5000 but one has cyanide? How about 10,000? There are no studies obviously what this jab will do to people and offspring.
Don’t care, still not taking it.
No. My unvaccinated niece just got her second case of COVID, which is very rare. She’s fine and still not looking for the vaccination.
I want to know how many breakthrough cases total so we can know the percentage that go on to severe cases.
Massachusetts coronavirus breakthrough cases jump 4,415 last week, more than 600 fully vaccinated people a day
https://www.bostonherald.com ^ | SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 | By RICK SOBEY |
“ The rate of breakthrough infections week-over-week starting five weeks ago surged 64%, then the following week went up 20%, the next week jumped by 25%, the subsequent week increased by 20%, and in the last week climbed by 23%.
Breakthrough cases in Massachusetts are making up about one-third of the state’s overall cases. People who are unvaccinated are at a higher risk for infection and a severe case.”

This does not tell us why these older than 60-year-olds are getting infected by the virus even though they have been fully vaccinated. Does anyone have a clue? Can I buy a vowel?
The chance of not getting infected over three months is (1-0.0001) to the 90th power.
The chance of not flipping tails with a daily flip over three months is 0.5 to the 90th power, which is vanishingly small.
We’ll never get that as long as they count two weeks vaxxed as “unvaccinated.” That shaves down the number of breakthrough cases nicely.
In a general way those numbers are useless. They are measured against a virus that no longer exists.
Measurements pretending to profile delta say some date when Delta was 50%. No. Show delta at 80% or 90%. That would be August. Not January. Not June.
We won’t hear that result because it doesn’t support GET VACCINATED. Getting vaccinated was a solid idea in January. It’s not January now.
The CNN math does not make any sense at all.
You cannot calculate the chances of a breakthrough infection by comparing the number of vaccinated people to the actual numbers of breakthrough infections so far.
You would need to know the numbers and types of exposures to covid by a defined group of vaccinated people and then look at how many became infected

Utterly the least of your worries, Mr. Buyer's Remorse.
The difference between 5000-1 and 10000-1 in real-life activity is what statisticians call "pushing a string". Negligible.
If you're leaning on this for some self-assurance satisfaction, well ... LOFL!
If efficacy in the elderly isn’t as good, that wouldn’t surprise me.
The question is can we trust ANY info the CDC puts out.
***********
I recently read somewhere on FR that the Phizer vaccine was designed with a weaker dosage strength than the Moderna one to minimize the usual early reactions to a vaccine. If true, the maine cause of breakthrough infections would likely be the dosage strength rather than the basic vaccine technlogy.

“… Measurements pretending to profile delta say some date when Delta was 50%. No. Show delta at 80% or 90%. That would be August. Not January. Not June.…”

Yes, Delta started August at over 96% DELTA and rapidly climbed to over 99% where it remains as the indisputable champion variant. So well made point taken. The Mayo Clinic’s study broke out the late (i.e., July’s breakthroughs after Delta had become king of the hill) breakthroughs and that is where Pfizer’s efficacy against infection had plummeted.
I remember in our State of Washington things opening up because of dropping cases and rising vaccinations. We could actually go to a movie theater with our popcorn and drink, like before the pandemic. Then, Delta flew in like the Angel of Death. We have entered a new game with new rules. The Biden Regime has done a crap job at telling us the new rules of the game. So, we are scrambling around making up Looney Tunes.
I wonder what the stats are for people - especially young people - who have serious medical issues OTHER THAN COVID-19 after getting the vaccinations. I’ve seen threads indicating that young people getting the vaccines are having a higher than normal rate of heart problems.
