Rare 'breakthrough' COVID cases are causing alarm, confusion

And politicians in the nation’s capital are being rattled by reports of breakthrough cases, including from a congressman, Florida Republican Vern Buchanan; some Texas Democraticvisiting Washington as a political protest; at least two people in the White House and several congressional staff members.

But different places have different rules. In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson -- who survived COVID-19 early in the pandemic and now is fully vaccinated -- beganover the weekend after contact with someone experiencing mild symptoms from a breakthrough infection. There isn’t a separate count of mild or asymptomatic breakthroughs, although CDC is tracking those through studies such as one that gives weekly virus tests to more than 5,000 essential workers, she told senators.

'Experts'

I read that as White people and just went with it

They're not 'rare' cases. Many of the people testing positive in my area are vaccinated. The hospitalizations are still way down as most have either been vaccinated or even better have antibodies.

Ridiculous. The fact that the cases have gone down like that everywhere in the world is proof that immunization has and is working. But sure there are always ppl who are lazy and want to go against the stream .

realStanVG So… this is a poor, poor headline then

What about white people that have recovered from COVID? You numbskulls. Since when, in all of history, has natural immunity not been enough COVIDIOTS SUMPIMFISHYHERE NOJABFORME

All these things are true: 1) breakthru Covid overall is MUCH less dangerous than unvaxxed Covid- yay! 2) breakthru Covid still can make u sick- not “just a cold” 3) I think it’s way undercounted/not so rare 4) i think it is transmissible. So try to avoid it, Ok? Mask indoors!

Lies. Opposite is true everywhere else.

So the CDC could accurately report daily cases & deaths from C-19 this time last year, however now they can't report on how many deaths from vaccinated individuals nor deaths from the vaccine, but can report accurately the number of unvaccinated people? Give us the facts.

HealthScience Pandemic is over. Vaccines are available

karaswisher Nearly all? Any idea what characteristics of vaccinated still get the virus and need hospitalization? Obese? Old?

karaswisher I love how the headline in the Twitter-generated preview does exactly the opposite of the tweet content

karaswisher Breakthroughs happen and can be severe. The vaccine did it's job and we are grateful. The road to recovery will be long and expensive. But my Dad is alive! Get vaxxed & wear your mask regardless of vaxxed status. Please share & donate Delta WearAMask

LOL.What u just said about Chinese vaccine? Double standards!!

False

There’s some weird comments in here. Ask your doctor or clinic.

Watch out for those Congressional Super Spreaders. They smile while carrying death. President Biden and our Speaker should be protected.

Do these numbers include all the UNVACCINATED illegals pouring across the U.S./Mexico border? 🤔

The best indicator: In the U.S., hospitalizations and deaths are nearly all among the unvaccinated

Good, weed out the stupid.

Saying “nearly all” is a great way to overlook all the instances that the vaccine doesn’t work. Way to take data and skew it to convey the message you want to send. fakenews

Covid plus overdose deaths drove down life expectancy in 2020Life expectancy in the U.S. plunged last year in the largest one-year drop since WW2, CDC reports, with deaths from Covid-19 and drug overdoses fueling the decline. Dr. Fauci invented the vaccine, so now we just need all these hillbillies to take it and our world will be saved!! A national public healthcare initiative will help. Even with covid still tahing, and worse pandemics in the pipeline, the US has yet to put forth a plan to implement one. At some point in the very near future, time to do so will expire. It turns out that Americans under the age of 30 have no body and no feeling now, so arts should not be like their body, should be changed.
