Because there’s a lot of layers to this situation beyond him just being unvaccinated.
I don’t think you get it. I think the rest of us are having a conversation that don’t fit your narrative
No, if you are vaccinated you can't get it "just as easy", your odds of getting it are lower. Can you still get it? Yes. "Just as easy?" Now that's why it's dumb. It isn't a binary result.
Over 50% of the positive tests at the company I work for have been fully vaccinated.
Local factory in the town south of you are seeing close to the same thing.
It depends how long ago you got the jabs.They are very effective at first but they seem to wear off after a few months. Three months out from the jabs very low odds.....one year out not so much.
Its not though.
Breakthrough cases happen. But they are rare, and certainly not "just as easy" as among those who have not had the vaccine.
Guessing that a recommendation for annual shots for average people and every 6 months for the immuno-compromised will come down soon.
Actually it’s 3-4 months out. Remember the vaccinations were not readily available to a large portion of the population until March.
I know of several people that have tested positive for COVID despite being fully vaccinated and practicing good hygiene. We had it happen in our own household right after school started. My 4 year old spiked a fever one night and they had some COIVD cases that week with both staff and kid so we took her to the pediatrician the next day. Fever was gone but had a little bit of congestion, pediatrician gave her a COVID test for good measure but thought based on how she was acting that day probably was just a little bug but test came back positive. My wife and her quarantined away from me and my 2nd grader but 2 days later my wife said she had some congestion and a fever so she got tested and tested positive despite being fully vaccinated. She said all she had was mostly a head cold for about 2 days but other than that felt fine. Luckily myself who is also fully vaccinated tested negative along with our 2nd grader 5 days later.
I have friends that are fully vaccinated that have tested positive for COVID in recent months but most said what they experienced was nothing more than what they would of gone through with a cold of minor flu. It's going to happen regardless how careful you are. Look at how the Yankees had a COVID outbreak this summer with several players that were vaccinated testing positive. The vaccine may not prevent you from getting COVID but most that do get it after being vaccinated are getting mild symptoms so the vaccine is doing its job of preventing severe illness and hospitalizations.
At some point we as a society need to quit putting such a negative stigma on testing positive for COVID as we probably are going to be living with this virus for awhile. This is not me making this political but it's a personal choice to get the vaccine and my opinion is regardless what your stance is on the vaccine we are at a point where you know where certain people stand on the issue and just worry about yourself and accept the consequences of your own choice. I'm fully vaccinated and I'm not going to be pissed at people who chose not to get vaccinated if I happen to test positive for COVID some day. I used to not get flu shots until I had kids and even with flu shots I have had times where I got something I felt as sick as I can remember and hoped no one I was around got what I had and had to go through what I did. I remember falling asleep with chills in my basement while watching our 2018 Alamo Bowl game with a flu that took me 3 restless nights breaking out in sweats to get over it and I had my flu shot that year so I don't stress out about getting sick because I know the next bite of food I eat or breath of air I breathe in has the potential to make me sick.
About half our county is vaccinated. The weekly data from public health shows the percentage of those testing positive in our county that are vaccinated to be usually around 10%. A couple of weeks it was 20%, that was the highest.
No they are not rare. It happened to me. Colin Powell just died from covid after having been vaccinated. The vaccine does not stop you from being able to test positive. So it is in fact a fact. I actually am vaccinated and tested possitive after thinking I had a slight flu.
Nice anecdotal evidence. Too bad statistics for a much larger sample size don't back it up.
That seems about right. Where I work multiple people have tested positive last couple of months who have been vaccinated..Where I works shots were available and given in January.
If the vaccine is acting like it should, reducing the effects of Covid, then there is a high probability that there are probably several that have it that don’t even know. Last October, (when the rest of my family got it so it’s an assumption) I apparently had it and never knew until my blood donation told me I did. I never went in because I never felt off.
There are actually alot of studies showing breakthrough cases are rare. So your personal anecdote about you and Colin Powell is more reliable than scientific studies on millions of vaccinated people?
You're living up to your former username.
It happening to you doesnt make it not rare, or less likely than if you had not been vaccinated.
The vaccine massively reduces the chances you will develop an infection at the level of which you test positive when exposed. No vaccine ever has been 100% effective, its all a community game every time.
Colin Powell was immunocompromised because he had cancer. Being immunocompromised meant that even with the vaccine, it was possible his immune system wouldnt be able to use that to mount a solid defense of the virus. Cases like this are an example of why it is important that everyone get vaccinated, so that they reduce the spread of the virus overall, decreasing the chances an immunocompromised individual would be exposed.
What do you consider rare? According to CDC, roughly 16-17% are breakthrough positives.
Not sure why there is such hysteria over vaccinated people getting Covid.. Nothing is 100% but they almost always have mild symptoms. This should be viewed as a good outcome. The vaccine has prepared your immune system for a virus that almost everyone will eventually encounter.
