Government Data set show vaccinated are far more likely to become infected with COVID, for example here is recent UK data.

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

It shows that 72% or nearly three quarters of infections in the recent four-week period were in the vaccinated (65% in the double or triple vaccinated) and only 22% in the unvaccinated.

If 100% of the population was vaccinated then 100% of infections would be in vaccinated people. The vaccines were never claimed to prevent all infections.

You're not very good with numbers are you? Did you even read the report you linked? The numbers clearly show the effectiveness of the vaccines in reducing hospitalizations and mortality.

The vaccines were promoted heavily as stopping the spread. Very heavily.

I knew that wasn't the case the day I got the J&J vax in April 2021. That it was for preventing serious illness. I posted a good video (Lib source) on that topic here 4-5 times: https://youtu.be/K3odScka55A

But let's not start some lie saying that for months and months the Biden administration and the MSM didn't promote that a huge benefit of the vaxx was for stopping the spread.

I could post a hundred articles as examples.

Let's not move the goal posts (doing that is what makes ppl distrust the science). The vax is great, but to pretend there wasn't a false narrative spun around it is not being honest.



Washing state data

Quote:
COVID-19 case rates among 35-64 year-old individuals are 4 times higher in the unvaccinated population than in the fully vaccinated population


And this is of January

California is running about the same

Quote:
From December 27, 2021 to January 2, 2022, unvaccinated people were 3.8 times more likely to get COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.


https://covid19.ca.gov/state-dashboard/#postvax-status

In July 5x less for vaccinated even with delta

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7037e1.htm


So it would appear vaccinations do stop the spread.

As to your video, yes there was a full court press to explain that all vaccines were effective including J&J.

Quote:
With each shot that goes into someone’s arm the closer we get to ending this pandemic.


Ending statement from video

https://youtu.be/K3odScka55A

And yes, the goal posts are changing as the virus has evolved.

And there has been an evolution from stopping the spread to reducing the impact.

We saw that with the discussions on boosters.

I just watched an amazingly informative set of data slides over our local news from our lead health officer here in British Columbia. Chief takeaways were:
1)Delta at less than 5% and shrinking of the present infections remains the strain that causes the vast majority of serious illness and death. Omicron had virtually none.
2) about 50% of the Covid positive patients in hospital were not admitted for Covid symptoms, but were found to be carrying it after admissions for other illnesses and blood tests showed they were Covid carriers.
3) The indications of community Covid in tests from wastewater sampling is already showing a drastic reduction of the virus in the communities tested.
4)The expectation is this wave will show rapid reductions in hospitalizations of people carrying Covid ( a lagging indicator) within 1 to 2 weeks.

Thankfully we have a Scientist leading our responses and she likes to share the data to provide backing for her restrictions and vaccine suggestions, not fear and abuse. This openness has led to exceptionally high acceptance levels for vaccination and community restrictions. Omicron is a very different case than Delta was and she showed how we are following the same path as South Africa, Netherlands and UK in falling Case Fatality Rates.

My prediction is Omicron will be the ultimate solution to Covid, regardless of what punitive measures governments apply to force people to do what they want them to.
Hopefully the next crisis gets more support from the populace than this past one did, regardless of what party is in control at the time.

Many such stories. You guys are way of base with this natural immunity bullchit.

I hope (and also for the most part believe) you are correct.

"Hopefully the next crisis gets more support from the populace than this past one did, regardless of what party is in control at the time."

Yes, this marginal support was spread across two dissimilar administrations. I wish I was more hopeful on this second thought, but believe there is too much "opportunity" in any crisis for either party to not try to make political gain from it.

Funny to me how alarmist some are today about Covid, but pretty much shrug their shoulders that an actual tsunami warning was issued for the west coast.

Only natural immunity will end this (given the lack of a truly effective vaccine).

Skipjack: I read that story and am in full agreement. The medical community continued and has found multiple treatments for those suffering after they contracted Covid. Remdesivir, Monoclonal Antibodies, a mixture of c-cktails were all presented as effective treatments at various times, yet for mainly political reasons they were forcefully opposed and whoever presented them called a liar by opposing factions. Why do we continue to do this?

No kidding. Totally ignoring therapeutics was/is a huge blunder. The fact that the complicit press isn't calling them out on it is an American tragedy. Just because you are heavily pushing vaccines doesn't mean you should drop everything else. The country needs every tool possible to fight this.

People can illegally enter our country unvaccinated. But US citizens can't work.

Makes perfect sense to me.

In the United States, there is a Covid briefing each week.

Latest

Increase in testing for schools

Committed to keeping schools open

CDC Dr. Walensky, omicron compared to delta

53% reduction in symptomatic hospitalizations
73% reduction in icu

91% reduction in mortality

1.5 days in hospital versus 5 days.

I believe this is the study she references from Kaiser Southern California

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.11.22269045v...

Dr. Fauci discusses current and future therapeutics.

The recently released Covid Anita viral drugs were fast tracked.

There is a stockpile of 750 million n95 masks and they are working to expand sources.

Cdc continues to recommend a well fitting mask.

Dr. Walensky believes the week to week increase in Covid deaths is from delta

On another front separate news

Quote:
Wastewater was a canary in the COVID-19 coal mine for Bay Area health officials. Over a month ago they pointed to sharply rising virus levels detected in the sewer system as a harbinger of the omicron-fueled case surge.

Good news: Wastewater tests now show virus levels starting to subside.

Along with modeling at the University of Washington that has proven to be spot-on about the pandemic’s trajectory, and experiences in other states and countries, it suggests the omicron wave is cresting and about to come down in Northern California and across the country. It’s an encouraging sign for a public quite weary of the virus and all the restrictions it brings to their daily lives.

It would appear that the United States is or soon will start declining.
