Vaccine specialists listed several reasons for the spike in breakthrough infections, including that it’s been a while since the earliest vaccinations were administered, the increased vaccine coverage, the removed restrictions, and the incidence of the more contagious Delta strain.Given the high inoculation rate, the share of those vaccinated among confirmed COVID-19 cases has risen is Sweden, which according to researchers is seen as a signal of waning vaccine protection.
The Swedish Public Health Agency reported that between 1-24 September 7 out of 10 COVID-related deaths were fully vaccinated individuals.
According to Farshid Jalalvand, a researcher in clinical microbiology at Lund University, there are several reasons why the proportion of fully vaccinated among the deceased has increased.
“The main reasons are probably that it has now been quite a while since the oldest ones were vaccinated, that the vaccine coverage has increased, that the restrictions have been eased, and that the Delta strain has taken over”, Jalalavand told the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.The Delta strain is known to spread more easily among both vaccinated and unvaccinated than the Alpha strain. According to Jalalavand, though, fully vaccinated people “generally have good protection”.
Gunilla Karlsson Hedestam, professor of vaccine immunology at the Karolinska Institute, said it is not unexpected that vaccine protection decreases over time.
Owen comments on the shocking rise in cancer rates for those that have recently gotten the covid vaccine.
“The mRNA vaccines are fantastic in that they could be developed so quickly and they reduce the risk of serious illness significantly. However, they don’t produce as high antibody levels as protein-based vaccines. The higher the antibody concentration in the blood after vaccination, the more robust and lasting the protection will be”, Karlsson Hedestam said.
At present, there are currently no protein-based COVID-19 vaccines on the global market, but Novavax and Sanofi Pasteur have both filed for approval by the WHO and in Europe, respectively.
Nevertheless, Gunilla Karlsson Hedestam called the idea of completely vaccinating yourself free from SARS-CoV-2 “overly optimistic”.
“We know that the COVID-19 vaccine reduces the risk of illness and death, which is very important, but at the same time we must accept that the breakthrough infections will increase and that we must continue to live with this virus, at least until we have an even better vaccine”, she mused, calling on her compatriots to avoid “certain risk situations” to keep the spread of infection down.
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell confirmed that no vaccine offers 100-percent protection.”Therefore, there will be mild cases where one dies with COVID-19, but not because of the disease. That proportion will get bigger and bigger the more people who are vaccinated”, Tegnell said.
At the same time, age is also seen as a factor, as the median age of those fully vaccinated who have died since 1 July has been over 80 years old. Yet, cases of infection in elder care have recently increased to their highest levels since February, and the proportion of the elderly among those infected has risen to some of the highest levels since mass testing began.Since the start of the pandemic, Sweden, a nation of over 10 million, has seen 1.16 million cases with nearly 15,000 fatalities. Nearly 65 percent of the Swedish population is fully vaccinated.
“Fading.”
Right.
Info Wars?? Really?
Information bigot? Really?
You should limit yourself to Chuck Todd.
Mild cases of death.
Yes, really!
You think Info made this up?
The Swedish Public Health Agency reported that between 1-24 September 7 out of 10 COVID-related deaths were fully vaccinated individuals.
I’ll never forget this quote from Edith Bunker on the show “All in the Family” when someone died in a freak accident.
“At least he didn’t die of anything serious...”
Three questions:
What percentage of the Swedes are fully vaccinated?
Unvaccinated?
How many deaths total?
The article answered one of my questions:
Nearly 65% of the population is fully vaccinated (most of the deaths are in over 80’s who probably have a higher rate)
I don’t wish to be an “information bigot” - because, after all, truth is truth. A habitual liar can tell the truth, and someone with a perfect record of truth-telling can lie or be misleading.
However, if this information could be confirmed by a site/organization with a bit more credibility than Infowars, many of us would be willing to post it on social media sites and email it to our friends and relatives. I, for one, definitely wish to inform those about whom I care as to news about these “vaccines” (really immune boosters, with serious issues) are worth taking or not, so as to let those with open minds make an informed decision. But citing “Infowars” is not something that (at present, in view of its reputation) enhances either the credibility of the story presented, or me as a source of information to those people.
I’d like to see some data about this Delta variant. It’s been circulating long enough that they should have genome analysis. Then compare it to the more recent severe “breakthrough” cases. I wonder how much it has already mutated into a sub-variant.
The source of the info is Svenska Dagbladet, the #2 newspaper in Sweden, founded in 1884.

This Swedish newspaper has quotes from Gunilla Karlsson Hedestam, professor of vaccine immunology at the Karolinska Institute.
It also quotes Farshid Jalalvand, a researcher in clinical microbiology at Lund University, and State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell.

That’s not what he’s here for
“The mRNA vaccines are fantastic in that they could be developed so quickly and they reduce the risk of serious illness significantly..."
Fantastic? Significantly reduce risk of serious illness?
Is she serious?
