Unvaccinated individuals twice as likely to face COVID-19 reinfection: CDC study

[CaptainObvious]

Survival? To end the pandemic? Because it's the right thing to do?

Why do you have such little faith in the vaccine? If you're vaccinated, as I am, then why do you care who isn't. If you believe, as I do, that the vaccine protects me from the virus entirely, or at worst I'll suffer minimal symptoms if I do contract it, then what's to worry about?
Here's the problem that the left created. Less than the year ago, Biden, Harris and pretty much the entire dem party were saying they did not trust the effectiveness or safety of any vaccine that was developed while Trump was in office. It was the left that pushed the skepticism about the vaccine. They take the wheel in January, a vaccine fully in place and already being administered, and suddenly everyone MUST be vaccinated. First they say don't do it, now not only do they endorse it, they want to mandate it. And then wonder why all the confusion and lack of faith in the vaccine.
Had it not been for the TDS of the left more people would be vaccinated today, especially in the black and brown communities who are lagging far behind in the vaccinated numbers. Once again, it was the left that created the problem and is now trying to blame others for it. Same game, different day.

GWB and his fellow ET trolls as usual, blame the unvaccinated for the Corona Virus and its spread. These idiots never blame themselves, the CDC, FDA, extreme liberal fellow idiots in the extreme liberal media and Hollywood spreading lies and disinformation? Why are you idiots so concerned about the unvaccinated when you claim the vaccines are very effective? You left out the details where vaccinated people got Corona Virus infections at high rates? That vaccinated people died anyways, being vaccinated and all. That when you get Corona Virus and overcome it, you develop antibodies which protect you by giving you immunity? So, chances are good that those who contracted Corona Virus and got well, has antibodies and protection from Corona Virus? And we can end this pandemic pronto by allowing the widespread use of Ivermectin? But, where will all those billions of dollars in Big Pharma vaccine profits go then? What about the 3rd and 4th boosters shots they are about to rollout?

Because the more dangerous variants are created/mutated by bouncing off of willing hosts (the unvaccinated). Then they put potentially everyone at risk. And because the fucking unvaccinated are delaying a return to normalcy so that the rest of us can get on with our lives. That’s why.

I agree with most of your sentiments, but differ slightly about the vaccine risk which in my opinion is minimal compared to falling Ill with the virus, especially those in my category of old and/or with health issues. It's a simple risk analysis for me. Older, have health issues young or old, get the jab. Young and healthy, no reason to get the jab and risk what are still unknown "potential" side effects from the jab longer term. It's no more complicated than that.
The left could also stop with the even if you're jabbed you should still wear a mask and social distance. They're even mandating that in certain areas. And they wonder why people are hesitant. Idiots.

Then why are you radical left types trying to mandate vaccines for everyone? You're full if shit. You, like every other radical leftist, simply want power over people and mandating vaccines gives you the power that you so desperately crave.

First of all I never vote left, I am a right voter. There is no link between a political opinion and vaccination. Where I live over 70% has already a double vaccination, but the leftists represent less than 20% of our population. So your stupid statement makes no sense.

Second I have worked over 15 years in a hospital and have probably a much bigger knowledge about Covid 19 then you. You are the one full of shit.

Third, 7 states in the US representing 22% of the total population of the US, are responsible for 50% of the covid 19 victims. Even the biggest idiot should be able to make the correct conclusions from that.

Where I live (not in the US) we have several vaccinations that are given to EVERY person within the first months of their life. This already for decades. It saved millions of people from diseases that killed millions before we started with these vaccinations.
It never gave me any power over other people.

I guess you are one of the many brainless who voted for Trump.

I can live my life normally now and I do. If you don't then you don't actually believe in the effectiveness of the vaccine. It is that lack of faith that has a major impact on the decision making process for those yet unvaxxed. Yes, there are the conspiracy theorists who will never get vaccinated, but the larger majority stay skeptical because of people who are vaccinated and still act as if they aren't. The left created this doubt last year with their TDS, and continues to fuel it with continued mask and social distancing mandates for everyone, even the vaccinated.

So you're a hospital worker who enjoys watching people die if they disagree with you. Such compassion. I would suggest keeping that quiet in your next performance evaluation. Just sayin.

Young and healthy, no reason to get the jab

Except that they can get the virus and it can spread and mutate among them and then potentially put everyone at risk, depending on the mutation. Someone’s freedom at another’s expense is not freedom. Besides, enough young people without underlying health conditions were seriously stricken by the virus to give everyone pause.

Unvaccinated individuals twice as likely to face COVID-19 reinfection: CDC study
The CDC stressed the COVID-19 vaccines remain the best way to prevent infection
https://www.foxnews.com/health/unvaccinated-individuals-twice-likely-covid-19-reinfection

A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study found that unvaccinated individuals who have had COVID-19 are twice as likely to face reinfection as individuals who have received the vaccine.

The study, published as part of the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), examined hundreds of residents, finding that the unvaccinated individuals had 2.34 times greater odds of reinfection compared with fully vaccinated individuals.

The residents were aged 18 or older and had previous COVID-19 infections in 2020 and experienced a second infection between May and June 2021 – the time period that aligns with the emergence and spread of the delta variant.

"If you have had COVID-19 before, please still get vaccinated," said Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky in a statement released Friday. "This study shows you are twice as likely to get infected again if you are unvaccinated."

"Getting the vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others around you, especially as the more contagious Delta variant spreads around the country," she added.

The delta variant has shown to be far more transmissible than other strains of COVID-19; Walensky noted in mid-July that the variant is "spreading with incredible efficiency and now represents more than 83% of the virus circulating the United States."

However, the CDC stressed that the COVID-19 vaccines remain safe and effective and are the best way to prevent infection.

MMWR also published a study that pointed to the success of the vaccines in preventing COVID-19 related hospitalizations among the highest-risk age groups.

The second study indicated that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in adults aged 65-74 were 96% effective in preventing hospitalization – a figure that dropped only slightly to 91% in populations over 75 years in age.

The Janssen vaccine – produced by Johnson & Johnson – is 85% effective in both age groups.

That effectiveness is still more than double the effectiveness of the average flu shot, which in 2019-2020 was 39% effective.

LOL. Fox News.

The left created this doubt last year with their TDS, and continues to fuel it with continued mask and social distancing mandates for everyone, even the vaccinated.

The vaccinated can still potentially be infected and not be too negatively affected. However, they can potentially spread the virus to others who were not infected and whose consequences could be much more dire. So the masked vaccinated are showing a consideration for the unmasked unvaccinated who show no reciprocative consideration.

And finally, until enough people get vaccinated and herd immunity is reached, there will not be normalcy. Masking and distancing will remain in place to protect the stupid from themselves while the rest of us wait and suffer.
