70% of Vaccinated Prisoners Caught COVID in an Outbreak
[Epoch Times] More than two-thirds of fully vaccinated prisoners contracted COVID-19 during an outbreak inside a Texas prison, the CDC said in a study. The vaccine, the CDC said, protected the prisoners against severe COVID-19 symptoms.
The agency said that 129 out of 185 fully vaccinated prisoners caught the virus, according to data compiled by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the CDC in the agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published Tuesday. Separately, of 42 unvaccinated prisoners, 93 percent caught the virus during the outbreak in the undisclosed prison.
This anecdote suggests the vaccine may save your life, but will not stop the virus.
The CDC data showed that seven unvaccinated and 21 fully vaccinated prisoners had previously contacted a documented case of COVID-19.
They got it again? A non-trivial percentage - 12.3% of 227 inmates. So much for acquired immunity!
Some studies have shown that individuals who previously contracted the CCP virus develop long-lasting and robust protection against the Delta variant.
Based on the new data, the CDC said that vaccinating most of the U.S. population should remain a priority.
Unexpectedly.
