Way to go CDC! You dipshits! WTF!!! Heads need to roll!! Covid Breakthrough Cases: Bloomberg Identifies 100,000 Cases as Delta Rises - Bloomberg Prognosis CDC Scaled Back Hunt for Breakthrough Cases Just as the Delta Variant Grew Bloomberg identified more than 100,000 vaccine breakthroughs While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped comprehensively tracking what are known as vaccine breakthrough cases in May, the consequences of that choice are only now beginning to show.
‘Sicker and younger’: unvaccinated people are driving a new hospitalization trend in Alaska’s COVID-19 wave https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/202...spitalization-trend-in-alaskas-covid-19-wave/ Alaska’s latest and still growing COVID-19 wave involves a jarring new trend: younger hospital patients, at times sicker than the older people who needed medical care last year. Last winter, as the peak of the coronavirus pandemic ripped through the state, the infected patients seen by Dr. Alex Papacostas in his Anchorage emergency room tended to be older, in their 70s and 80s. Now the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19 is driving up case counts around the country and in Alaska, where as of Friday barely 44% of the total population was fully vaccinated. And now Papacostas is seeing people in their 40s, 50s and 60s with more serious respiratory problems, who need additional oxygen or even mechanical ventilation, he said. None are vaccinated. “They’re sicker and younger than we were seeing last year, requiring either hospital admission or ICU admission,” said Papacostas, Alaska chapter president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “They’re really more intensive to care for, because they’re more ill.” (More at above url)
From the article: So, it states "to date". That implies those numbers are from the beginning of the pandemic or perhaps Jan 1, 2021. In other words, that seems to imply those numbers include all of the cases and hospitalizations in 2020 and before vaccines were even available. If that is the case, those numbers are extremely misleading. I really wish that they would be more transparent and honest wrt the numbers.
