WASHINGTON (SBG) — Data from several states and the federal
government suggests deaths among Americans fully vaccinated
against COVID-19 rose sharply amid the nation’s most recent
surge of infections, but experts say that is not unexpected as
more of the population gets immunized.

Between Oct. 11 and Oct. 18, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s cumulative count for breakthrough deaths jumped by
51% from 7,178 to 10,857. Some conservatives and vaccine
skeptics have pointed to the seemingly drastic increase to
bolster arguments against mandatory immunization policies.

“40% of all covid deaths last week were vaccinated. Stop vaccine
mandates & forced masking,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.,
tweeted in a post Twitter flagged as “misleading.”

However, the CDC stressed the breakthrough data is not collected
in real-time and it can take several weeks for a case to be
reported, so the change does not represent a sudden week-to-week
swell in deaths. The page tracking breakthrough deaths only
includes data from 16 state and local health departments, and it
is not intended to provide an exact count of U.S. cases at a
given time.

Meanwhile, in a jurisdiction that operates on facts and science, over
70% of hospitalizations are from the 15% who aren't vaccinated.

In another such location, the 5% who aren't vaccinated contribute half
of the people hospitalized.
