in which aides aired their frustrations, arguing that the items lacked some crucial context. While vaccinated people can get breakthrough infections, especially from the Delta variant, and also spread the virus just like the unvaccinated, it’s still exceedingly uncommon that they will be infected or end up hospitalized because of it.
A seven-slide deck used by the administration for the media briefings and obtained by POLITICO stresses that the virus the country is battling today is much different than before: The Delta variant, which, according to a slide, accounts for 80 percent of the new cases after being just 1 percent in May, spreads far more easily.
“The greater the percentage of people vaccinated, the higher the absolute number of breakthrough infections,” a passage in one of the slides reads. “This does not necessarily mean that there is a greater proportion of breakthrough infections.”
CatsChocolates Looking at you, nytimes. Aug 3, 2021: WH meetings w/major media outlets are 'occurring at a moment of concern across the administration over 👉news reports and 👉headlines that they view as 👉far too narrowly focused on vaccinated people contracting the virus👈.' clearing_fog
Well……it sounds like thinly veiled censorship efforts to me.
This spin makes no sense when you realize that the data show that, in spite of breakthrough, the vaccine did exactly what it was supposed to do: It prevented severe illness and death in 99% of the cases.
Hmmm, you think the 1000's coming over our border illegally is adding to this problem? I do.
Good job promoting anti-vaccine hysteria, Politico. You miss the point: the media was neglecting all the people protected from infection, who weren’t spreading. It was also neglecting how much better vaccinated people were doing.
Suppressing the fact that there are breakthrough infections just lends credence to the distrust that already exists.

So blame them Right Wing judges.
