1- “Detailed breakthrough data showed that fully vaccinated Minnesotans made up 197 of the 483 deaths from Sept. 5-Oct. 9 and 1,082 of the 3,492 COVID-19 hospitalizations.”
Doesn’t sound like “extremely rare” (cont).

2- “With 41% of the COVID-19 deaths in that time among the vaccinated, that is an increase from 29% over the previous four months.”
That sounds … not good.
That sounds … not good.
3- “The trend underscores the waning immunity in Minnesotans who received COVID-19 vaccine six or more months ago.”

4- “Minnesota has the sixth-highest rate of new coronavirus infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state on Friday reported a 9.5% COVID-19 test positivity rate,..”
That’s… not good.
That’s… not good.
5- “Minnesota's vaccinated population is at risk from waning immunity because it includes people who are older and have underlying health problems or high-risk jobs for viral exposure.”
Exactly the people we had hoped to protect. Great.

6- “Vaccines take a couple of weeks to produce strong immune responses, so shots won't have an immediate impact on the current "COVID blizzard" of infections, Ehresmann said. She encouraged people to wear masks, practice social distancing and seek routine testing..”
Oh great.
Oh great.
7- To recap: Minnesota cases are surging. Breakthrough case percentages are increasing. More than 6 months since your shot & you better get a booster.
Oh, and please wear masks & do social distancing.
Not inspiring.
