Page 49 - Breakthrough Case News Today

White house today about the search in cases? >> there is no question, alex, the vaccination push in the united states has lost steam. we are still short of that 70% goal that the president hoped america would reach by the 4th of july. a hundred million americans according to dr. fauci who are eligible for the vaccine and have not gotten vaccinated. that is why we are seeing the biden white house trying to revive the push to get as many people vaccinated as possible through the new incentives, th...

Simone biles have in common? first, it is time to cover covid in the media. it is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. so the news coverage needs to reflect that. for example, the word "cases" doesnt mean the same thing it did a year ago, because a breakthrough case when vaccinated, when you are infected and vaccivaccinated, i very, very different than a case when unvaccinated. about the word "breakthrough," there is really not enough data to know how often it happens. that is a critical problem. but...

Also get a breakthrough case, as you showed. it doesnt happen very often but it does happen. so, i think this is a report where they said we have got to go tell the public. thankfully, earlier in the week, thats what rochelle walensky did. she went out and said we got to make some changes here, folks and thats important. >> what do you think vaccinated people should make of these breakthrough cases? i mean, we have heard a lot in the last few days about the cluster of cases in provincetown, mass...

Covid. i think your analysis showed 0.8% have gotten an infection. and its important information. the reason they didnt is because their best information, at the time, had been that those cases, mild cases, most of em, wed never know about because most of them would be asymptomatic or very lightly symptomatic. and would be very difficult to track and wouldnt be worth tracking because their belief was that those cases would be less likely to spread. they may want to revisit that, in the context o...

Bloom of politico. ill start with you, youre the internal cdc report that came out this week. you were the first to report on it. really game changing in a lot of ways. theres 4,000th of 1% of fully vaccinated people who have experienced a breakthrough case that required hospitalizations. so rare it happens. but health officials are suggesting that the war has changed in a lot of ways. what are they trying to tell us through the report? >> well, one of the big issues we have is that the cdc actu...

You have seen how that the mask mandate is back in place requiring anybody over the age of 2 regardless of vaccination ta status to put the mask back on in indoor public places. the mayor is expected to make an announcement tomorrow morning because the vaccination numbers continue to rise in new york state. now so is the number of positive covid tests as well. >> reporter: with covid cases on rise across the country, the latest figures from the cdc reinforce the importance of getting vaccinated....

Wearing a mask when leaving the home. so to me, this is all nutter butter. it makes no sense. these unvaccinated people first off, they should get vaccinated. and if theyre not going to get vaccinated, they should at least be wearing a mask and one-third of them say theyre never wearing a mask when leaving the house. its mind boggling, crazy. i dont get it. the numbers are the numbers. >> thanks for walking us through them. persuasive. thank you so much. joining me now to discuss is an emergen...

Quicker amount of time. and even vaccinated people, if exposed to enough virus, can also get a breakthrough case, as you showed. it doesnt happen very often but it does happen. so, i think this is a report where they said we have got to go tell the public. thankfully, earlier in the week, thats what rochelle walensky did. she went out and said we got to make some changes here, folks and thats important. >> what do you think vaccinated people should make of these breakthrough cases? i mean, we ha...

Didnt. the reason to track is because you always want more data. and you always want to be able to do the analysis, which says heres how likely it is, if you have been vaccinated, to get covid. i think your analysis showed 0.8% have gotten an infection. and its important information. the reason they didnt is because their best information, at the time, had been that those cases, mild cases, most of em, wed never know about because most of them would be asymptomatic or very lightly symptomatic. a...

Get tested before the school started and must continue that weekly. students strongly encouraged to test, and so out of about 1900 tests done before tuesday, they detected some positive cases and then a few more after classes started. mostly affected is that sixth grade class. nearly 100 sixth graders in quarantine. eighth graders are the ones having to move classes online because the eighth grade staff are the ones more affected by that quarantine. so this is really a serious situation thats no...
