"The New Jersey Department of Health has been tracking "breakthrough" cases – positive coronavirus cases that occur in people who are fully vaccinated, which is defined as individuals who are 14 days past the date of their final vaccine dose. Eighty-four of the state's 3,474 vaccine breakthrough cases have required hospitalization. Thirty-one of those infected have died, and officials note that translates to a 99.9993 percent effective vaccine. "
Of all the NJ residents with both vaccination shots 3,474 have been infected again, 84 had to be hospitalized and 31 died.
"Dr." Tom Ferraro on our call yesterday said we have to pay attention to the probabilities and statistics. I propose that since he and the SLT are already probably in the top 1% economically, we let them also be in the 1% of re-infection and death risk. Don't take me the wrong way, I'd never wish illness or death on anyone, however I certainly don't want these people making decisions for me and my family.
I don't like those odds, especially since long term impact of COVID is unknown and there are some scary cases out there with people having seemingly permanent heart, lung, and other issues.
