COVID Breakthrough Rates
 

Here's what you need to know about COVID-19 breakthrough infections | Live Science

Finally, some numbers on breakthrough rates of COVID in the new surge of cases. My takeaways: (1) Less than 10% of new COVID cases are breakthrough, (2) if fully vaccinated you have a 1 in 20,000 chance of needing to be hospitalized if you get COVID, (3) if you are fully vaccinated you have a 1 in 7 million chance of dying from COVID, and (4) if you are not vaccinated you could be an incubator for more deadly variants of COVID. Bottom line: Vaccination is the best way to stay safe from COVID and prevent it’s possible future spread.

That would be encouraging, BUT.......your source is:

Given the time it takes the shots to take affect, if you haven't been vaccinated you had better get it done or hope this is all just a hoax. Too bad for the less than 12 age group that have to suffer foolish adults and adolescents over 12. Time will tell.

Apparently, someone didn’t get the memo. Everyone can carry and spread covid 19, even the vaccinated. Covid can also break through and infect the vaccinated and there is no stopping that virus at this time.

I’m fully vaccinated and am on day 12 in the hospital. None of these numbers matter when it happens to you.

What are “breakout “ cases by the way.?

So sorry to hear you have been in the hospital for so long. I don't know if you were serious with your "breakout" question. In case you were, it'e called "Breakthrough" and it's vaccinated people that get sick with Covid. I wish you fast healing.

The vast majority of people being hospitalized are unvaccinated. I think that memo has been making the rounds. Yes, there are cases of the vaccinated getting sick but hopefully not too sick.

Sound like it was an annus horriblis these last 12 months for you. Get better soon!

That’s awful! Hope you are on your way to full recovery.

You are creating the fear
 

One of the biggest contributors to the concern and fear amongst those who are unvaccinated (I believe it is over 50% who have not been fully vaccinated) is the censorship. People ask, "Why are they not allowing doctors with different views to debate". Every time the CDC flips on a topic, especially topics where they suspended peoples accounts for posting on said topic, they create greater mistrust.

Stop with the censorship already. Let people have access to all of the facts. Do you really believe by only allowing your view, people will magically agree with you.?

The study I read from the UK (21% breakthrough) and the one from the CDC (20%) seem to show double the breakthrough cases.

The CDC is updating their guidance given new circumstances. They try to give their best advice given what they know NOW as things develop. They are not stuck in the mud. It is not the CDC that changes, in my opinion, it is the circumstances now, that change.

Too sick? Did you just read fully vaccinated Winston Boogie’s report on this thread about his long hospitalization with covid?

Wishing him a full recovery and return to good health!

I thank the OP for making another covid thread

Understood. BUT, when these officials make a statement, such as, "If you get vaccinated you do not need to wear a mask", they need to add a disclaimer. Such as "If you get vaccinated you do not need to wear a mask, according to the present information we have. If / when new information comes to light, mask requirements may change".
This is partly the cause of mistrust.
