290 Fully Vaccinated Massachusetts Residents Died Of COVID-19 Over 1 Week
International Business Times ^ | February 2, 2022 | Danielle Ong

Nearly 300 fully vaccinated residents in Massachusetts died of breakthrough COVID-19 over the past week even as case numbers have dropped statewide.

Between Jan. 22 and 29, Massachusetts health officials reported 290 additional breakthrough COVID-19 deaths, bringing the state’s total death toll among the fully vaccinated to 1,789. The figure represents 0.03% of the state’s inoculated population.

During the same period, health officials also recorded 27,530 new breakthrough infections and 555 additional hospitalizations. The state has now reported a total of 422,132 cases and 6,440 admissions among the fully vaccinated. The numbers represent 8.1% and 0.12% of the state’s inoculated population, respectively, according to the latest COVID-19 Vaccine Data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

A breakthrough case refers to when a person who has been fully vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19 tests positive for the virus at least 14 days after the last dose.

Despite the rising number of breakthrough cases, public health experts still urge people to get vaccinated, noting that the shots help prevent severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths. Health experts also note that breakthrough cases are expected as no vaccine is 100% effective in preventing an infection.

‘They’ only have your best interests at heart because they are compassionate conservatives. ‘They’ are here continually bombarding us with government data that says, “everthang’s okay wit the vax” and that YOU need to provide them proof otherwise (knowing FDA/Pharma wants to keep the approval process data secret for a couple generations. Just your every day caring people...)

Yeah those deadly deaths are way more terrifying than plain old deaths :-)

For the record there were 504 covid deaths during the week in question per Worldometer so the fully vaxxed represented 58% of the dead. Of course we have to bear in mind that some of those unvaxxed dead were likely hit by cars, others may have had one shot of the vax, and yet others may have had a second shot within 21 days of being diagnosed with covid and were thus treated as unvaxxed for reasons that mystify all but the cognoscenti. The general impression is that the second shot takes weeks to take effect but the actual reason is that the shot temporarily suppresses your immune system in the middle of a pandemic and counting those folks as vaxxed would have skewed the deaths in the vaccine trials in favor of the unvaxxed and that would have been too big a turd for even the FDA to swallow just so Phizer et al could make billions of dollars.

This story is largely useless in that it doesn’t report total deaths for the period or the percentage of fully vaccinated. If anyone knows, I’d be interested.

A kinder gentler death, see much like the 3 vaxers talking point that if I wasn’t vaccinated I would have died even though I got covid 3 times

“””This is not proof that the vaccines don’t work. If they hadn’t been vaccinated, their deaths would be far more deadly than they were.””””


And we have the WINNER of the most sarcastic comment in FReeperville today.

“no vaccine is 100% effective in preventing an infection”

Well! Duuhhhh!

This one is not effective in preventing infection, nor preventing transmission, nor preventing hospitaliszation, nor preventing death.

The gene therapy treatment is very very leaky.

Leaky? No Worky.

The 7 day rolling average on Jan 29 was 72. 7x72=504

I did not add up the individual daily numbers, maybe a rounding difference? Either way 290/507=57%, close enough for government work.

That thing that isn't working? Keep doing it.

That’s the typical leftist/liberal/democrat answer to everything.

They will never admit they were wrong when something fails. So what they do is say they just need to do it more, or harder, or longer, THEN it will work.

Doubling down on stupid and failure seems to be the only answer a leftist is capable of.

I have followed the USA covid numbers on a weekly basis for well over a year. What I am beginning to notice is an increase in the number of deaths attributed to covid. If the vaxx is the root cause for an increase in covid deaths, then the USA is so screwed.

We were promised that the vax would save us and yet, here we are with even more deaths.

So the possibilities are that the vax is not working, that it’s actually causing more susceptibility to infection and death as a result, or it’s really a vax death that the powers that be will NEVER admit to so they write off the vax death as a Covid death to keep the fear porn going.

That person was being sarcastic, Chief.

The new & improved retort I get from the deluded is,
“Well that’s what YOUR news sources say. That’s not what MY news sources say.”
