Incredible COVID-19 Numbers, Variants, & Vaccine Failure

Need to unleash these numbers as of 4/16/21. A summary.

-More than 150,000,000 shots have been administered in the U.S. so far.

0.005% may have resulted in a serious side effect.

– fewer than 1 in every 13,000 vaccinations were infected post-vaccine.

• Of those breakthrough cases, 29 percent were asymptomatic and 7 percent required hospitalizations. 

• CDC releases that 74 of those vaccine recipients who had breakthrough infections died.

Six reported cases of blood clots in women following a Johnson & Johnson vaccination prompted the CDC this week to recommend a pause in the single-dose vaccine. More than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been administered in the U.S., adverse reactions from vaccines are rare 

At least 550,000 Americans have died of COVID-19, a rate of 1,700 deaths per 1 million residents. More than 2 million Americans have been hospitalized with COVID-19 since August. That’s over 6,200 patients per million.

Washington state reported 4/14/21– 217 people among the 1.7 million fully vaccinated there have had breakthrough infections. Five deaths among patients ranging in age from 67 to 94, all with multiple underlying conditions, are under investigation there. 

New Variants have been numbered, that is their names. These causing a dramatic increase in cases due to multiple changes in the genome from the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. Previous variants only had one area of genome change.

B.1.617, first identified in India

B.1.526/ B.1.525, first identified in New York

B.1.427/B.1.429, first identified in California – more infectious 

Vaccine Failure

Please take a few minutes listening to my latest podcast then read on. “Primary vaccine failure” is when the body doesn’t mount a robust immune response. That could be caused by poor health, age, medication, or something wrong with the vaccine. “Secondary vaccine failure” is when immunity fades over time, or if the person is exposed to a different virus strain.

Bottom Line

The shots are safe. Even incomplete defense is better than none. And the small chance of experiencing a serious side effect from the vaccine is far outweighed by the danger of COVID-19.

PLEASE REMEMBER – If you’re experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, get tested as soon as possible — monoclonal antibodies must be given within 10 days of the onset of symptoms. they provide a defense till your body can make it’s own antibodies
