[Epoch Times October 31, 2021](Reported by the English Epoch Times reporter Zachary Stieber / compiled by Gao Shan) According to the latest data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in recent months Among the people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus), the number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths related to COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) has increased. But data shows that most infection cases, hospitalizations and deaths still occur in people who have not been vaccinated.
According to relevant data, among the fully vaccinated population, the number of confirmed infections per 100,000 people rose from 12.3 in late June to 121 in mid-August; at about the same time, the number of confirmed infections per 100,000 people increased from 12.3 in late June to 121 in mid-August. The number of hospitalizations related to the CCP virus rose from 8.9 per 100,000 to 75; the number of deaths due to COVID-19 (the CCP virus) rose from 0.1 to 1.1 per 100,000.
A series of studies in recent months have shown that the effectiveness of the COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) vaccine is waning, especially against COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) infection. The data collected by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from the surveillance systems of states and hospitals provides another source of evidence that the protective effects of vaccines have declined.
Former Trump (Trump) administration COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) epidemic consultant, master of clinical epidemiology and community health sciences, Alexander (Paul Alexander) told The Epoch Times in an email: “Vaccine effectiveness The significant drop in the vaccine may be due to the appearance of the Delta variant, the main virus variant, and the weakening of the vaccine itself over time.”
“In the few months after vaccination, the immunity provided by the vaccine has dropped significantly, and the Delta variant is more infectious (but with lower lethality), but the real problem is that these vaccines do not match the Delta variant, so there is The phenomenon of immune escape of this virus variant.”
He also added that, in fact, the vaccine has failed, and the evidence collected (in the UK, Israel and other countries) has proved this. So once the number of infected cases increases, there will usually be a rise in the hospitalization curve followed by a rise in the death curve. “
Scientists often refer to cases of infection, hospitalization, or death that occur after the vaccine has been fully vaccinated as “Breakthroughs.” According to research and clinical data, no vaccine is 100% effective, and the effectiveness of all vaccines is declining over time. This downward trend is largely matched by the emergence and rapid dominance of the Delta variant of COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus).
Age-disaggregated data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the number of infected cases, hospitalizations, and deaths has increased in all age groups of people who have been vaccinated.
Maryland officials provided data on “breakthrough cases” and deaths. They said that they have seen an increase in the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus) among people who have been vaccinated.
Andy Owen, deputy director of media relations at the Maryland Department of Health, told The Epoch Times in an email that between September 16 and October 18, the state was diagnosed There are 190 deaths among the COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) infection cases, and 32% of them have been fully vaccinated.
“Many of these deaths are related to comorbidities that make patients more susceptible to infection. This further emphasizes the importance of our mission to maintain their immunity by urging all eligible Marylanders to receive booster vaccines. . Please remember that as the number of residents we are vaccinated continues to increase, we expect that the proportion of COVID-related deaths among the vaccinated population will increase.”
Despite this, state officials said that of the nearly 4 million fully vaccinated Marylanders, only 295 died of COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus), which is less than one percent.
The recent decline in the effectiveness of the vaccine has prompted the US Drug Regulatory Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to authorize it and recommend that millions of Americans get booster vaccines, including all those who have received a single dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Dr. David Boulware, a professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota’s Division of Infectious Diseases and International Medicine, said that almost all non-live vaccines, including polio, Both the hepatitis A vaccine and the hepatitis A vaccine require support agents to produce long-term immunity.
He told The Epoch Times in an email: “Therefore, for most immunologists, infectious disease doctors and/or pediatricians who are familiar with vaccines, the need for booster vaccines is certain, the only problem is When is it?”
Although data shows that the antibodies produced by the vaccine will decrease over time, the “memory B cells” will be retained, which will help the body respond quickly to future infections. However, the Delta variant brings a shorter incubation period, highlighting the need for a larger B cell population.
Bolwell said: “This is achieved through booster vaccines, which is why it is beneficial to inject booster vaccines more than 6 months after vaccination. With booster vaccines, I (and others) ) It is expected that the number of’breakthrough infections’ after vaccination will be greatly reduced, and new data supports this.”
Data on the “Breakthrough Infection” indicator showed that the number of “Breakthrough Infection” cases declined slightly towards the end of August.
According to the CDC, most infections, hospitalizations, and deaths still occur in people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus). According to the agency, data show that people who have not been vaccinated in August are 6.1 times more likely to be tested positive for COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus) than those who have not been vaccinated, and the risk of dying from COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus) is as high as 11.3%. .
The indicator of unvaccinated people has indeed risen
Among those who have not been vaccinated, indicators have risen in all age groups. But data shows that young, healthy people are almost at no risk of infection. The mortality rate of the unvaccinated people aged 18 to 29 is lower than most of the fully vaccinated age group, and the mortality rate of the unvaccinated people aged 30 to 49 is much lower than that of the fully vaccinated 80 or 80 years old The above population is close to the mortality rate of 65 to 79 years old who are fully vaccinated.
Data shows that most of the deaths occurred in unvaccinated people over the age of 65.
