Lancet: 89% of new UK COVID cases among fully vaxxed
High COVID-19 vaccination rates were expected to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in populations by reducing the number of possible sources for transmission and thereby to reduce the burden of COVID-19 disease.
Recent data, however, indicate that the epidemiological relevance of COVID-19 vaccinated individuals is increasing. In the UK it was described that secondary attack rates among household contacts exposed to fully vaccinated index cases was similar to household contacts exposed to unvaccinated index cases (25 percent for vaccinated vs 23 percent for unvaccinated).
12 of 31 infections in fully vaccinated household contacts (39 percent) arose from fully vaccinated epidemiologically linked index cases. Peak viral load did not differ by vaccination status or variant type [[1]]. In Germany, the rate of symptomatic COVID-19 cases among the fully vaccinated (“breakthrough infections”) is reported weekly since 21. July 2021 and was 16.9 percent at that time among patients of 60 years and older [[2]].
This proportion is increasing week by week and was 58.9 percent on 27. October 2021 (Figure 1) providing clear evidence of the increasing relevance of the fully vaccinated as a possible source of transmission. A similar situation was described for the UK. Between week 39 and 42, a total of 100,160 COVID-19 cases were reported among citizens of 60 years or older. 89,821 occurred among the fully vaccinated (89.7 percent), 3395 among the unvaccinated (3.4 percent) [[3]].
One week before, the COVID-19 case rate per 100.000 was higher among the subgroup of the vaccinated compared to the subgroup of the unvaccinated in all age groups of 30 years or more. In Israel a nosocomial outbreak was reported involving 16 healthcare workers, 23 exposed patients and two family members. The source was a fully vaccinated COVID-19 patient. The vaccination rate was 96.2 percent among all exposed individuals (151 healthcare workers and 97 patients).
Fourteen fully vaccinated patients became severely ill or died, the two unvaccinated patients developed mild disease [[4]]. The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies four of the top five counties with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated population (99.9–84.3 percent) as “high” transmission counties [[5]].
Many decision makers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.

Last night ( Thursday) on New Zealand’s TV channel One they asserted almost exactly the opposite was true. What a horrible bunch of smiling liars they are!

Same in France : prime and health ministers telling exactly opposite to the population….they lie they lie they lie….. they are the satanist globalist’s puppets
The final goal : by all means force the world population to submit to the dictatorship of private interests under the pretext of “public health, at the end the social control …..

Vaccines do not directly prevent cases.
In fact they encourage less, or no, social distancing,
which should increase cases.

There isn’t an article this is fake news! Sadly fuelling the anti conspiracy movement !
I don’t agree with mandated vaccines but fake news is dangerous

I clicked on the link and the Lancet article came straight up. So the issue is with your phone or laptop

This is known, but not previously realized fact, now getting too obvious!
