Infections among health care workers who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 are extremely rare, according to a new study.
Researchers examined data from employee health records of more than 36,600 health care workers in California and found that less than 1% tested positive for COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated...
...Of the 36,659 workers vaccinated, 379 tested positive after their first vaccine dose, with the majority of those individuals testing positive within two weeks of their first shot. After receiving both doses of the two-shot vaccine, 37 people tested positive, with the majority testing positive less than a week after their second dose. Only seven health workers tested positive 15 days or more after their second vaccination.
Not a single vaccinated health care worker who contracted COVID-19 was hospitalized or died and those who did get sick appeared to have milder symptoms ..

Meanwhile, Israel has averaged 359 new cases - total, in the entire country - each of the past 3 days. Cases and deaths are hitting rock bottom there.
Gee, I wonder what the difference could be...
Why don’t you stop lying the death rate is 1.8% for all ages and double digits for thr elderly with one or more comorbidities.

If HC workers are not getting re-infected then it must be because of herd immunity or the fact they changed the PCR test criteria to a lower number.
The vaccine manufacturers state that the vaccine will not confer immunity, only lessened intensity of symptoms. If the recipients are seeing lower incidence of infection then the reason must lie elsewhere.
You must be wrong. There is no disease in India because HCQ and ivermectin. Get with the propaganda - er program.
ETCM wrote: “Impossible. All the antivaxxers assure us that the vaccines don’t prevent infection, only symptoms.”
They base that upon statements by CDC that during the trials, persons were not tested for infections unless they demonstrated symptoms. The statement did not say the vaccines didn’t prevent infections, the statement said they didn’t test for infections which isn’t the same thing as saying the vaccine doesn’t prevent infections.
This is typical of the anti-vaxxer distortion of the effectiveness of the vaccines.
ETCM wrote: “Not only am I protected but now I don’t worry every shift about bringing it home to my family.”
We feel the same sense of relief. No need to worry about CV once you’ve had the vaccines.
Wrong again. the. a i e prevents both the disease and its transmission. They could bit make that claim early in because it was not one of the endpoints of the original trials.
COVID vaccine: Does Pfizer’s coronavirus shot prevent you from infecting others?
Not necessarily.
“ “We are not 100% sure, is it possible we need some sort of booster in 6 months or a year?” Dr. Mena-Lora said.
“Those are questions that have to be answered,” Dr. Novak said. “We have not been studying children. They’re just now starting trials in children to make sure they are efficacious in kids.”
So until the general public is vaccinated and some of the unknowns are answered, doctors can’t stress enough how important it is to continue following COVID-19 protocols.”
Welcome to the lab, rat.

Please provide data where the vaccine manufacturers have claimed immunity as well as lessened symptoms based on clinical trials.
Also, the PCR cycle has changed in most testing so the false positive rate should be lower than previously according to the CDC.

Israel has real world data with over 600,000 data points and another 500,000 plus of no vaccine data points.
Here’s some light peer reviewed science as well.

But... but... but... the so called COVID-19 “vaccines” aren’t really vaccines. /sarcasm

How do you infect others if you’re not infected yourself?
“Only seven health workers tested positive 15 days or more after their second vaccination.”
That’s seven out of 36,659.
“Not a single vaccinated health care worker who contracted COVID-19 was hospitalized or died and those who did get sick appeared to have milder symptoms ..”
You’re grasping at straws. Why not just admit the vaccines are highly effective at preventing illness, infections, and deaths? Is that so hard to do?
The ONLY reason they have to say crap like that is liability lawyers who are bottom feeders. If they would just say the data shows 94% of people will not get sick at all symptomatic or asymptomatic but 6% of you can and will get sick and half of those in the 6 % will be mild or asymptomatic which will lead to some transmission so because of that 6% vaccine breakthrough which is the proper scientific term for it everyone must assume they can and will be in that 6% until the total case numbers and the R0 both drop to unsustainable viral transmission levels. Remember the vaccine that wiped small pox off thr planet was only 95% effective
Arguing with an antivaxer is like arguing with a flat earther no matter how much real peer reviewed science you show them they will still dig in ever harder to grasp at their world view. Imagine taking a flat earther on a rocket and into orbit they might die of internal conflict.

I’m sure you’ve noticed they rarely cite peer reviewed articles from medical/scientific journals. They much prefer youtube videos.
I’m not an anti-Vaxxer.
But then we’re not talking about a vaccine in the traditional sense. We’re talking about a genetic modifier. First ever.
And Big Pharma has zero data on young children’s response to their warp speed-produced jabs, even as schools across the globe prepare to mandate it as a condition of access to education.
Big Pharma can’t tell you about the synergistic effects of the COVID-19 vaccine with other vaccines.
Nor can Big Pharma tell you about the long-term side effects of its “miraculous” shots. (And don’t forget the astonishing fact that vaccine makers are immune from lawsuits by vaccine-injured Americans.)
Well it does make sense.
Health care workers have the most intense contact with virus positive people in a contagious state, and their situation is advantageous to infections - (a) contact with an infected and symptomatic person with a high viral load, (b) in close contact, (c) in enclosed spaces, (d) for some period of time. All the elements of receiving an infection.
THAT level of exposure did, and does, make having a vaccination important for health care workers and should, and did, lower the rate of infections. No surprise.

True, these vaccines are superior to the ‘traditional’ vaccines and they do not modify your genetic material.

Trials have begun on children as young as six months and the vaccines are already approved for children sixteen and up.

There are always excuses, even from those who claim not to be anti-vaxxers”, not to take the vaccines even in the face of mounting evidence of the vaccines effectiveness and safety.
Without the The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program established by the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) we all would be left without most vaccines.
The act was passed by Congress in response to a threat to the vaccine supply due to a 1980s scare over the DPT vaccine. Large jury awards had been given to some vaccine manufacturers who then stopped production.
So I hope you are not astonished to know that there is no shortage of lawyers willing to go after the companies that make critical products.
Dr. Steve Hotze: COVID-19 Injections Are NOT Vaccines, But Dangerous Experimental Gene Therapies
Hotze’s assertions may help explain why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned the public that it’s still possible for vaccinated people to get and spread SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
