#1 Added Notes:

Over 58% of USA citizens are now vaccinated.

According to which CDC press release you read.
It seems the Vaccinated only have 6 to 8 month declining immunity window.

No data on the effectiveness of the vaccine regarding "D" variant.

ICE Data show 32% of the estimated 1 million Illegal Border crosses are were not caught and were successful. (320K new mouths)

Fed's & Media tells us that a vast Majority of these Illegals have not been vaccinated.

FEMA said back in the spring of 2021 BEFORE Covid-D fully arrived, that 6% of Undocumented persons were found infected.

Various Gov. source puts the July 2021 number of infected at 1+ in 12 to 3+ in 10 depending on the captured group date. Official data to available sometime in mid to late August.

IMPACT ON ICE/CBP staff
As of July 2021. Over 8,900 Customs Border Patrol employees have tested positive for COVID-19, and 33 died from exposure.

#4 Use this with CDC odds of dying below for interesting am I screwed data.

NN2N1, I just picked an age group in an effort to cheat the grim reaper. I am currently in the 18-29 reference group. My odds are pretty good.

I did some rough calculations that would probably make an epidemiologist's hair stand on end.

There are about 164 million fully vaccinated citizens. The number of breakthrough cases in this group is about 112,000 (these numbers change daily). I get about 0.0007 or about 0.07% of the population of fully vaccinated people. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are about 95% effective. That would suggest that as much as 5% of the population might experience a breakthrough case of the disease. Some of these cases have occurred during the 2 week period after full vaccination before full effectiveness is achieved. Some of these cases occur with older people with 2 or more co-morbidities; in other words, people with compromised immune systems. There will be a few flukes within the breakthrough cases

I was just looking at gross numbers and did not look at adverse effect of the vaccines that are being reported. Some of this might be embedded in the gross breakthrough case numbers.

Many have come to expect that we will be protected from everything with no risks. We need to live our lives without all the hysteria and misinformation coming out Washington, D.C. and other places.

#5 /\ We need to live our lives without all the hysteria and misinformation coming out Washington, D.C. and other places.

Absolutely spot on, but how can the devious, elitist, betraying foks in Washington survive and continue their mischief without the cover of endless wars, "hysteria and misinformation?"

#6 Remember, their 'misinformation' is approved by the Party organs and media distribution systems.

#7 /\ Yes, and obviously internally published and distributed. Little effort is employed to rephrase the talking points. They are simply parroted verbatim.

#8 COVID-19 sounds so clinical. Let's just call it "Fauci's Disease".

#9 Thanks JohnQC, good additional data.

Totally agree with the part of the comment on too much hype and politics being applied to this problem.

It has by hook or by crook design generated a Massive Negative or at the least a very suspicious distrustful group for anything the Politicians purpose or demand.

#10 COVID-19 sounds so clinical. Let's just call it "Fauci's Disease".

I would call this a Snark of the Day but its an excellent idea - no snark.
