What is already known about this topic?
COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective against COVID-19–associated hospitalization and death.
What is added by this report?
Among 1,228,664 persons who completed primary vaccination during December 2020–October 2021, severe COVID-19–associated outcomes (0.015%) or death (0.0033%) were rare. Risk factors for severe outcomes included age ≥65 years, immunosuppressed, and six other underlying conditions. All persons with severe outcomes had at least one risk factor; 78% of persons who died had at least four.
What are the implications for public health practice?
Vaccinated persons who are older, immunosuppressed, or have other underlying conditions should receive targeted interventions including chronic disease management, precautions to reduce exposure, additional primary and booster vaccine doses, and effective pharmaceutical therapy to mitigate risk for severe outcomes. Increasing vaccination coverage is a critical public health priority.
CDC director is touting the efficacy of vaccines and getting taken out of context.
The vaccines have literally saved a million lives. PERIOD.
The unvaccinated dregs constitute the vast majority of Covid patients in our ICUs. PERIOD.
The severity of illness in the boosted who become infected (in large part by unvaccinated spreaders) has been DRAMATICALLY diminished. PERIOD.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCONTROVERTIBLE TRUE COVID SCIENCE PROMULGATED BY THE BRIGHTEST ID PHYSICIANS & EPIDEMIOLOGISTS ON THE PLANET. AS A **** PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE, I HAVE CITED INNUMERABLE PEER REVIEWED SUPPORTING REFERENCES IN THESE THREADS. PERIOD.
THE ABOVE IS ‘PROPAGANDA’ ONLY IF YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLY STUPID AND/OR WILLFULLY IGNORANT.
THE DESPICABLE COCKROACHES WHO CONTINUE TO SPOUT DISINFORMATION ARE TRULY A DISGRACE TO MANKIND.
