This is not surprising since the initial cases were associated with NYC and the Anime Convention caused significant spread. Omicron rates higher in New York, New Jersey than rest of country https://nypost.com/2021/12/15/us-omicron-rates-highest-in-new-york-new-jersey/

Breakthrough rate is .56!! And governor Murphy just said that 47% of the cases are vaccinated. New Jersey officials say nearly 50 fully vaccinated residents have died from COVID-19
The best you can do is a Tweet quoting an article from July? Tell us -- how many people are vaccinated in New Jersey. Hint: Currently it is 6,166,260 a of December 15th. As of July 12th when these death statistics were given the fully vaccinated in new Jersey were 5,012,639. Lets do some math -- 50 / 5,012,639 is a 0.000997% vaccinated death rate. So tell us how many unvaccinated died in New Jersey during this time period. You know -- considering the Case Fatality Rate for Covid is 2% or so.
Omicron causes mainly just mild symptoms. Yet, that in itself can be dangerous (for some...deadly) if someone decides to get vaccinated when they don't realize they're Covid positive. Covid positive and then a person gets vaccinated while still Covid positive...the immune system and heart...the body can not handle it...it increases the chance of the body and/or heart just shutting down in an acute reaction. This is a strong possibility considering most vaccination places do not test someone to see if they're Covid positive. Typically they just ask you a question about your health status...nothing more. Therefore, I think there should be a change in how people are vaccinated that includes first giving the person a Covid test or the person must show a recent Covid negative test to be eligible for vaccination. wrbtrader
The article was from July, the tweet was based on the Governor's comment in the last 24 hours. But hey, nice try! And the question isn't how many vaccinated died. Its how many got the disease, which the vaccine was supposed to prevent. In reference to your ".56 breakthrough amount" which everyone knows is horseshit!
Omicron replicates 70 times faster than delta in airways, but lung infection appears less severe, study says A team of researchers at Hong Kong University’s faculty of medicine found omicron replicates 70 times faster in human airways, but infection in the lungs appears less severe. The study is under peer review. Chan noted that a highly contagious virus like omicron may cause more severe disease and death simply by spreading much faster, even though the lung infection appears not as bad.
Show us the N.J. governor's statement from the past 24 hours --- since I am not finding any statement in the mainstream media during the past week from the N.J. governor regarding vaccinated Covid deaths or percentages. Gov. Phil Murphy's only Covid public spoken statements in the past week were about the first Omicron case and urging people to get boosters (where he mentioned over 28,600 people in New Jersey have been killed by Covid). The N.J. governors last statement regarding vaccinated breakthrough cases was on December 8th via Twitter. The latest information can be found at the New Jersey Covid portal -- and only serves to outline the statement "47% of the Covid cases in New Jersey right now are vaccinated" is false. As I mentioned multiple times -- Omicron will be increasing the percentage of breakthrough cases so the rise to 1% vaccinated breakthrough rate in New Jersey which -- along with New York -- are the two states leading in Omicron is not surprising. BTW the way "Informed NJ Nurses" is a Twitter account which spews continuous anti-vax Covid-denier nonsense. Sadly you think this is a reliable new source. Their tag is "We are Frontline RN’s who advocate for Medical Choice and Informed Consent!" which is laughable. Tags: COVIDBREAKTHROUGH
Here you go. Though it would seem that 47% of the hospitalizations are vaccinated. Which actually would be worse since the vaccine should protect you against severe covid. So that would imply that many more (number, not %) of vaccinated have tested positive. Governor Murphy celebrates vaccine anniversary as breakthrough hospitalizations near 50% in New Jersey By SNN Staff Report Shore News Network 16 hours ago TRENTON, NJ – The COVID-19 pandemic is no longer a pandemic among only the vaccinated in New Jersey as Governor Phil Murphy today announced 47% of all COVID-19 hospitalizations are among fully vaccinated, but unboosted residents.
