"Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 5,814 breakthrough cases out of more than 85 million people fully vaccinated in the U.S. Public health experts said those numbers show how well the vaccine protects you"

Translation: Only 1 in 13,000 people who were fully vaccinated got COVID, and probably fewer than that could "pass it on"

Get it now?????

Personally, I was surprised since I thought it would be closer to 5%, but apparently the vaccine is conferring more immunity than originally thought.

So please people, stop posting that you can still get and pass on COVID if you are vaccinated. (Yes, Yes 0.008% is not zero, as some members of the American Association of Amateur Physicians with Google have pointed out in other threads)

This real world data is incredibly encouraging.


CDC: Fewer than 6,000 fully vaccinated Americans contracted Covid

" U.S. health officials have confirmed fewer than 6,000 cases of Covid-19 out of the nearly 77 million individuals in the United States who have been fully vaccinated.

That represents just 0.007% of the 84 million Americans with full protection against the virus.

Out of the 6,000 or so breakthrough infections, 396 people were hospitalized and 74 people died, according to CDC data released last week."
