Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring ALL reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating ONLY those among patients who are HOSPITALIZED or DIE, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health significance.
The CDC continues to lead studies in multiple U.S. sites to evaluate vaccine effectiveness and collect information on all COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections regardless of clinical status.
If all cases of vaccine breakthrough in fully vaccinated individuals were monitored then people would begin to understand that it's still possible to become infected with COVID. It's also important to monitor long haulers.

🧵This is a very important video about the pandemic. Dr. Richard Horton is Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet , a United Kingdom–based medical journal. He's an honorary professor at the London School of Tropical Med, Univ. College London & University of Oslo
"The word 'experiment' that's been used is a very interesting word because the word experiment starts off from assuming a position of uncertainty. You do something in order to make a discovery or test a hypothesis, but that's not what we're doing here."
"We know exactly what is going to happen, by taking the course that the government has committed to. We know there will be an increase in infections. That's not an experimental hypothesis to test."

At the beginning of the month, I amplified a story that I came across on Twitter. While this woman's father (vaccinated with J&J) was intubated from COVID, some were very skeptical of the story. I'm so happy that multiple news organizations picked up the story🙏🏽 Image

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky: "This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated." #GetVaccinated
However, the pandemic of the unvaccinated is affecting the vaccinated b/c vaccine breakthrough requiring hospitalization is occurring in fully vaccinated people near the age of 65. For this reason states such as Mississippi are recommending this group avoid all indoor gatherings. Image
There are going to be a lot of disruptions in children's education AGAIN if public health measures such as masking are not implemented nationwide. Exposures in classrooms will require all unvaccinated children to quarantine for 10 days.

The smallpox vaccine was the first vaccine to be developed against a contagious disease. In 1796, British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus.
From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization conducted a global vaccination campaign that eradicated smallpox, making it the only human disease to be eradicated.
The word vaccine comes from the Latin adjective vaccinus, which means "of or derived from a cow" reflecting the origins of smallpox vaccination.
