Key Findings:

From September 4 through October 1, 2021:

• Unvaccinated people were 13 times more likely to become infected with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.
• Unvaccinated people were 20 times more likely to experience COVID-19-associated death than fully vaccinated people.

Vaccination had a strong protective effect on infections and deaths among people of all ages. The protective impact on infections was consistent across adult age groups and even greater in people ages 12 to 17 years. The protective impact on COVID-19 deaths, which was high for all age groups, varied more widely. In the September time frame, unvaccinated people in their 40s were 55 times more likely to die from COVID-19 compared with fully vaccinated people of the same age. Unvaccinated people aged 75 years and older were 12 times more likely to die than their vaccinated counterparts.

Overall, regardless of vaccination status, people in Texas were four to five times more likely to become infected with COVID-19 or suffer a COVID-19-associated death while the Delta variant was prevalent in Texas (August 2021) compared with a period before the Delta variant became prevalent (April 2021).

Nice report from the Texas DSHS. Read the whole thing, I liked how they broke it down by Delta/pre-Delta time periods.

Thankfully the vax wasn't forced so the fearful could voluntarily get it. Only the Elderly/Sick/Obese need worry.

What they're leaving out is the strong herd immunity gained through the burn. The previously 'unvaccinated' now have strong natural immunity while the vaxxed must return to the clinic for another shot. And then another.

Also sounds like the vaxxed should shut up and live their lives if they truly believe in the 95% effective shot. There's no reason to force vax anyone else - right?

BTW thanks for posting this. I trust the TX health dept a lot more than the CDC.

For those who want the vax the case is actually somewhat compelling when considered in isolation from the side effects.

[balgor]

yeah but they define "unvaccinated" as vaccinated before two weeks after the second dose

guess when most problem occur

GIGO

however in Israel, and UK, they don't count it that way, and breakthrough cases are higher than their percentage of the population

people in Texas are tougher or what?

TX has an excellent DSHS.

Nice report from the Texas DSHS. Read the whole thing, I liked how they broke it down by Delta/pre-Delta time periods.

VA study of over 600,000 veterans shows that the vaccine protection declined dramatically in just a few months from February of 2021 through late August, 2021:


"National data on COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections is inadequate but urgently needed to determine U.S. policy during the emergence of the Delta variant. We address this gap by comparing SARS CoV-2 infection by vaccination status from February 1, 2021 to August 13, 2021 in the Veterans Health Administration, covering 2.7% of the U.S. population. Vaccine protection declined by mid-August 2021, decreasing from 91.9% in March to 53.9% (p<0.01, n=619,755). Declines were greatest for the Janssen vaccine followed by Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna. Patterns of breakthrough infection over time were consistent by age, despite rolling vaccine eligibility, implicating the Delta variant as the primary determinant of infection. Findings support continued efforts to increase vaccination and an immediate, national return to additional layers of protection against infection."

Still not getting it.

There is a big hole between these definitions. Just some more disinformation and willful distortion of the data.

Not really, it's just people who are partially vaccinated and there are not many of those.

You can see the same decline in protection in the TX report. Read it, it's a short read.

Understand that hospitals are skewing the case and death numbers. If you arrive at the hospital for any reason and are unvaccinated, you will receive a covid test. If the test is positive, you're now an unvaccinated covid case and hospitalization. It doesn't matter if you are there for difficulty breathing or a snake bite, you're now an unvaccinated covid hospitalization.

There is also a huge testing disparity outside of hospitals. Many jobs now require vaccination or frequent testing. So only the unvaccinated are taking those frequent tests, which likely account for a large percentage of total tests today. If only the unvaccinated are taking the tests, then only the unvaccinated will test positive.

As far as deaths, that goes back to hospitalizations. If you died of that snake bite after a positive covid test, you're an unvaccinated covid death. The vaccinated are only tested for covid at the hospital if they specifically come to the hospital for covid symptoms. So you're comparing vaccinated died from covid to unvaccinated died from anything after a positive covid test, and pretending the two numbers mean the same thing.

You can't trust any of the government numbers while different testing rules are used for vaccinated vs unvaccinated, because you can't compare the two numbers. The two numbers though are presented in these reports as if they are directly comparable - meaning they are lying to you. I'd by very surprised if this was not happening by design.

Think of it like this. You've got 100 boxes, half of them red, half of them blue. Someone else places one dollar bills randomly in some of the boxes. Now you want to determine which color boxes ended up with more dollar bills in them, but according to the rules you will open every red box to check inside, but you will only open a blue box if a corner of a dollar bill is left sticking out. To no one's surprise almost all the dollar bills you found were in the red boxes. That's what is happening.

No, it's like I said. People who have been vaccinated but not yet 14 days beyond their second dose are NOT counted as vaccinated.

So what are they counted as? Hmmm, could it be "Unvaccinated"?

and most of the side effects happen within the 14 days.

Thanks for confirming that your data is garbage. Guess that explains why Israel and the UK have stats so different from ours.

Reading comprehension not your thing:

Unvaccinated cases: cases who did not receive any doses of an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.

Pretty clear.

Let me think... nope, this still did not convince me to get the experimental dangerous shot.

Thanks for caring.

What booster number are you on? 4? 7?
