Since the @CDCgov won’t track breakthrough cases and if they lead to #LongCovid @Survivor_Corps decided to step in…

We ran a poll of 1735 fully vaccinated adults

A thread with our results…

Key Findings:

Both Pfizer and Moderna had significant fewer breakthrough symptomatic cases

Far fewer J&J recipients who had breakthrough symptomatic cases ended up with Long Covid
2/

38% of breakthrough symptomatic cases led to Long Covid
3/

While the % of fully vaxxed w/ breakthrough cases was to be expected (2.77%) the sheer number of people who have been vaxxed demand the @CDCgov recommend that all vaxxed ppl continue to mask, test & require reporting of ALL breakthroughs, not just those that end in hospitaliz
4/

Let’s not repeat the clear mistake of not finding what we refuse to look for
5/

912 received Pfizer (53%)

697 received Moderna (40%)

127 received J&J (7%)

6/

Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic Cases: 48/1735 (2.77)

Pfizer: 17/912 (1.86%)
Moderna: 20/697 (2.87%)
J&J: 13/115 (11.3%)

Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic Cases that led to #LongCovid: 18/1735 (1.04%)

Pfizer: 11/17 (65%)
Moderna: 7/18 (39%)
J&J: 13/127 (10%)
8/

Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic cases that led to Hospitalization 3/1735

Pfizer: 0/912 (0%)
Moderna: 1/697 (0.14%)
J&J: 2/127 (1.57%)
9/

Total Number of Breakthrough Symptomatic cases that led to Hospitalization AND Long Covid (1/3) (33%)

Pfizer: 0
Moderna: 0
J&J: 1

The CDC ONLY counts hospitalized cases so… here's where our data starts to differ quite a bit..

CDC Data: 3/1735 breakthrough symptomatic infections (.17%)

Survivor Corps Data: 48/1735 breakthrough symptomatic infections (2.77%)

This breakthrough rate what we would expect from vax data but we should still be tracking these excess cases regardless;

AND this data is likely low as CDC direction remains to no longer test after vax)

With acknowledgement that this was not a poll of random people so is not meant for all elements of the data to be able to be extrapolated to the public at large)
