Unvaccinated individuals twice as likely to face COVID-19 reinfection: CDC study The CDC stressed the COVID-19 vaccines remain the best way to prevent infection https://www.foxnews.com/health/unvaccinated-individuals-twice-likely-covid-19-reinfection A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study found that unvaccinated individuals who have had COVID-19 are twice as likely to face reinfection as individuals who have received the vaccine. The study, published as part of the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), examined hundreds of residents, finding that the unvaccinated individuals had 2.34 times greater odds of reinfection compared with fully vaccinated individuals. The residents were aged 18 or older and had previous COVID-19 infections in 2020 and experienced a second infection between May and June 2021 – the time period that aligns with the emergence and spread of the delta variant. "If you have had COVID-19 before, please still get vaccinated," said Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky in a statement released Friday. "This study shows you are twice as likely to get infected again if you are unvaccinated." "Getting the vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others around you, especially as the more contagious Delta variant spreads around the country," she added. The delta variant has shown to be far more transmissible than other strains of COVID-19; Walensky noted in mid-July that the variant is "spreading with incredible efficiency and now represents more than 83% of the virus circulating the United States." However, the CDC stressed that the COVID-19 vaccines remain safe and effective and are the best way to prevent infection. MMWR also published a study that pointed to the success of the vaccines in preventing COVID-19 related hospitalizations among the highest-risk age groups. The second study indicated that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in adults aged 65-74 were 96% effective in preventing hospitalization – a figure that dropped only slightly to 91% in populations over 75 years in age. The Janssen vaccine – produced by Johnson & Johnson – is 85% effective in both age groups. That effectiveness is still more than double the effectiveness of the average flu shot, which in 2019-2020 was 39% effective.
Seven US states with the lowest vaccination coverage account for half of all Covid-19 hospitalizations:Florida, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. In only seven of the fifty US states, together accounting for less than 22 percent of the entire population in the country, 50 percent of all new corona patients are currently hospitalized. Each and every one of them are states where less than half of the population has been fully vaccinated. Experts paint a grim picture of the situation in the US if more people don't get a shot urgently. With 'thanks' to the delta variant. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/06/health/us-coronavirus-friday/index.html
Yep... Seven states make up half of the cases of "Freedom Flu" in the US.

Several of those listed states have governors that open up the state early even after getting warnings about the Delta Variant showing up in their state. The good news...most of those hospitalized are those that are not vaccinated. At this point in the Pandemic and after all the warnings...I say fuck those that do not want to be vaccinated because they're becoming a burden on society. wrbtrader
Each time a non-vaxxer dies I am happy as the more of them die the sooner we will get a grip on the virus.
Correct and they're no longer infecting the health & safety of others. It's called Darwinism...survival of the fittest although the fittest are using vaccination to their advantage instead of through natural selection. The weaker links in society are being weeded out or targeted to see if their body can manage the Delta Variant. wrbtrader
Then why are you radical left types trying to mandate vaccines for everyone? You're full if shit. You, like every other radical leftist, simply want power over people and mandating vaccines gives you the power that you so desperately crave.
