This is a reminder that while the available Covid-19 vaccines can protect you against getting more severe Covid-19, they are not like gigantic concrete full-body condoms. Even after getting fully vaccinated, you can still be infected with the Covid-19 coronavirus.

 

three breakthrough cases found in Hawaii.

 

246 breakthrough Covid-19 cases that have occurred in Michigan, resulting in 11 hospitalizations and three deaths.

 

A quick calculation on your abacus will reveal that less than 0.03% of all fully vaccinated people there have had breakthrough Covid-19 coronavirus infections so far. Of the breakthrough infections, less than 2% ended up in death. Oh, and many of these breakthrough infections were actually asymptomatic, meaning that they didn’t result in symptoms.

First time hearing the term 'breakthrough' covid 19. Thought it was some breakthrough as pertaining to medical discoveries. Turns out to be something sinister. Sigh. 

Thanks Br. Lynn for highlighting this news site. Really enjoyed reading the articles. Articles dealing with serious matters with just a touch of lightheartedness. 😊. Tired of all the depressing news. A little levity does help.

As of April 14,2021

 

77,000,000 fully vaccinated; 5,800 breakthrough cases, 74 deaths

less than 1 in a million die as a breakthrough case.

"CDC  continues to recommend people who have been fully vaccinated should keep taking precautions in public places, like wearing a mask, staying at least six feet apart from others, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and washing their hands often."

A breakthrough infection is a case of illness in which a vaccinated individual becomes sick from the same illness that the vaccine is meant to prevent. Simply, they occur when vaccines fail to provide immunity against the pathogen they are designed to target. Breakthrough infections have been identified in individuals immunized against a variety of different diseases including Mumps, Varicella (Chicken Pox), and Influenza. The character of breakthrough infections is dependent on the virus itself. Often, the infection in the vaccinated individual results in milder symptoms and is of a shorter duration than if the infection was contracted naturally.

 

Causes of breakthrough infections include improper administration or storage of vaccines, mutations in viruses and antibody blocking. For these reasons, vaccines are rarely 100% effective. The common flu vaccine is estimated to provide immunity to the flu in 58% of recipients. The measles vaccine fails to provide immunity to 2% of children that receive the vaccine. However, if herd immunity exists, it typically prevents individuals who are ineffectively vaccinated from contracting the disease. Accordingly, herd immunity reduces the number of breakthrough infections in a population

 

From above article

 

So, "breakthrough" does not seem to be anything new or sinister ... just the reality of this system of things and man's imperfection. After all, even though traffic lights have been around for many, many years and do a fairly good job of controlling traffic, there are still accidents and deaths at intersections every day ... not because there is something inherently wrong with traffic lights but due to the imperfection of the people driving.

 

 

All the more reason to trust in Jehovah for a permanent solution to mankind's woes- including sickness and traffic accidents
