COVID spreading fast in well-vaccinated California counties while Cases are falling in five counties with below-average vaccination

California and its big coastal cities have embraced vaccines to beat back the COVID-19 pandemic. But a Bay Area News Group analysis shows not only are cases rising fast in much of the Golden State, they are soaring in many urban counties that boast high vaccination rates.

Five California counties have both a higher percentage of their eligible residents fully vaccinated and a higher average daily case rate than the statewide average: Los Angeles, San Diego, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco. The five counties with falling case rates — Modoc, Glenn, Lassen, Del Norte, San Benito — have below-average vaccination rates.

That doesn’t mean the vaccines don’t work — rates for infection and hospitalization remain vastly higher among the unvaccinated. So what’s going on? Experts point to two things: the extraordinary ease with which the virus’ now-dominant delta strain spreads, and the fact that no vaccine offers impenetrable protection.

“I am not so surprised that transmission rates are not neatly tracking immunization rates,” said Dr. Stephen Luby, a medical professor specializing in infectious diseases at Stanford University.

“There are a number of issues that contribute to transmission,” Luby said. “In high density urban settings, for example, even with a higher level of vaccine coverage, there can still be a lot of exposure to unvaccinated folks and potentially to folks who are vaccinated but are asymptomatically shedding the delta variant.”

The soaring case rates spurred action and pleas this past week from public health officials in the Bay Area and politicians in some of the most vaccine-resistant parts of the country. Health officials in Santa Clara, San Francisco and Contra Costa counties urged employers to require vaccinations for all workers.

Wonder where most of the illegal COVID-19 carriers are?

Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) could explain this

[kiryandil]

Well, THIS is awkward, in light of The Lyin Ginger and her Media megaphones quacking about "99% unvaccinated hospitalizations".

It appears that the REAL plague lepers are the vaxxed crowd.

RE: Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) could explain this

I actually spoke to a vaccine-encouraging doctor regarding ADE as it applies to Covid-19.

Here is his explanation ( not mine ):

Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is a rare phenomenon basically limited to dengue and a few other infections where the presence of antibodies makes a disease worse.

The antibodies can come from anywhere: prior infection, passive immunization (e.g. convalescent plasma), or vaccines.

This was a concern for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. The current evidence we have at this point in almost a year of a pandemic is that this concern is not reasonable.

Convalescent plasma has been used extensively throughout this pandemic and if ADE were significant, we would have evidence by now.

So, the chances of ADE occurring for anyone who has had COVID-19 or receives a COVID-19 vaccine are either very rare or nonexistent. So, the simple answer of whether or not you should worry about ADE for your COVID-19 vaccines is: no. Surveillance should be continued for any evidence of ADE, but odds are if it were at all a significant problem, we would have seen it by now, especially since we have documented reinfections of SARS-CoV-2.

HIS EXPLANATION, NOT MINE. MAKE WHAT YOU WILL OF IT.

The vaccine is proving to be negligent vs the risk. The truth is coming out. Praise be to God

The more I read, the more it becomes apparent that these are not cases where the victim became infected in spite of the “vaccine”. In fact the “vaccine” has induced the infection without an outside agonist.

They haven’t a clue.

[rovenstinez]

I think the HERD is getting immuned and all of this added toxicity is triggering a spike.

[old curmudgeon]

Our government is run by morons.

Moron arrives at fire.

He must do something but all he has is a gas can, so he throws some gas on it.

Fire flares up bigger and hotter.

So what is his reaction? Got to do something, throw more gas on it.

We are throwing gas on the fire. The jabs are making it worse.

RE: In fact the “vaccine” has induced the infection without an outside agonist.

How does that happen? The vaccines are supposed to deliver harmless outside substances ( mRNA or inactivated elements of the Coronavirus ) to the human body so that the immune system can be triggered to “recognize” the real virus when it invades and produce antibodies to fight it.

I used the word “supposed” guardedly. It seems like you’re saying that this strategy is backfiring because these outside substances, instead of producing immune responses are actually CAUSING the infection?

Has anyone actually did a study om these breakthrough cases to determine if this is so?

And why do these breakthrough cases occur only in the small minority of people out of hundreds of millions already vaccinated? Or is it the case that it is just a hidden timebomb that will explode later?

"There are a number of issues that contribute to transmission,” Luby said. “In high density urban settings, for example, even with a higher level of vaccine coverage, there can still be a lot of exposure to unvaccinated folks and potentially to folks who are vaccinated but are asymptomatically shedding the delta variant.”

This guy found a way to blame the unvaccinated in the most highly vaccinated counties in the state.

[House Atreides]

Well-vaccinated counties = DENSELY populated

Below-average vaccinated counties = SPARSELY, LESS DENSE populated

FOLKS, USE YOUR BRAINS. In more densely “packed together” populations, infectious pathogens are more easily spread than in less dense areas where people are more “spread out”.

I know, when it comes to COVID-19, common sense does not prevail.

[freespirit2012]

I have heard the opposite..(for one example see Dr.Malone) he was surprised that evidence is already coming out for ADE. He said it becomes more pervasive as the activation part of thevaccine wears off. Thus, that is why it is more prevalent currently in the pfizer jab, as it is the weakest of the 3.

.....But even so — perspective is important. We have learned how to treat this disease and in many cases how to prevent it from transmitting from one person to another using prophylaxis, not vaccines. If you are one of the people who is not going to get seriously hurt or killed from a public health perspective your infection is beneficial to the community as a whole.

The question of whether your vaccination is likewise beneficial is not known. We cannot say that it is identically beneficial as an infection because these vaccines are not mimicking natural infections; they intentionally target only part of the viral structure because attenuated vaccines are known to be unsafe with coronaviruses in that they revert and wind up causing disease — so to avoid that they intentionally didn’t use the entire virus. Instead they “engineered” an injection that causes your body to produce the spike (and only the spike) and then your immune system produces antibodies to that.

But — this means we do not know if you can get infected and emit the virus toward others after being vaccinated. We did not study it in the lab because challenge studies are generally not ethically permissible in humans, we did not do the animal trials and there has been insufficient data from infections and monitoring the population yet here we are jabbing people willy-nilly without knowing this critical fact.

These vaccines should have never been put into widespread use until and unless we knew if they produced sterilizing immunity as that should always be a gating requirement for widespread use of any vaccine. By using them widely, if they do not produce sterilizing immunity, we take the very real risk of promulgating a much more-lethal strain of Covid-19 that would otherwise fail to find traction statistically and thus harm very few before it is outcompeted instead spreading it worldwide, and for those who have had their immunity wane, who cannot be vaccinated due to immune or medical compromise (e.g. anyone undergoing cancer treatment which damages the immune system) or otherwise that strain will result in a massive amount of mortality......
