Serious and critical cases of COVID in the US has reached the highest level since early February, when few people were vaccinated. It is at the same level it was November 2020 before the vaccines and the number of cases is increasing rapidly, between 5% and 10% per day.
Current statistics show 51% of the US population is FULLY vaccinated. That is about 168 million people. 37 million people have had COVID and recovered. So the question is, how in the world can we be having a spike in hospitalizations equal to pre-vaccine numbers if so many people are immune from vaccines and natural immunity if the vaccines really work?
I am not anti-vaccine, but I am anti-vaccine dishonesty. They told us the vaccines were 95% effective at preventing COVID infections. Now because of Delta they are saying the Pfizer vaccine is about 47% effective and the Moderna is about 82% effective. The story has changed to "the vaccines protect against serious progression of the virus symptoms. And yet look at the number of people in the hospitals. How can this be? One answer is vaccinated people are spreading the virus just like unvaccinated people. We now know this is true.
I know 3 people who were fully vaccinated who caught COVID recently. 2 of the 3 were seriously ill. Considering 40% of COVID positive people show no symptoms at all, how exactly were these 3 people protected by the vaccines they received?
I think both sides on this issue have gone overboard with some of the statements and conspiracies. All we want is honest facts and information, not the propaganda spread by the CDC, White House and corporate media.
