A study presented at the SHEA 2022 conference determined how common and severe breakthrough infections were for Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Janssen COVID-19 vaccine recipients.
COVID-19 vaccination, though highly effective against severe or fatal disease, does not offer full protection against infection. There are currently 3 vaccines available in the US: Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2), Moderna (mRNA-1273), and Johnson & Johnson’s-Janssen (JNJ-78436735). One study, presented this week at the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America Conference 2022 (SHEA), explored the demographic characteristics and disease outcomes of COVID-19 breakthrough infections by type of vaccine received.
A total of 85 breakthrough infections were identified in the study cohort. The average age of the patients was 69.9 years, and 51.8% were female. At 85.9% (n=73), severe disease was the most common type of breakthrough infection, followed by non-severe disease (n=7; 8.24%). A total of 9 (10.6%) deaths occurred in the cohort.
Most patients received the Pfizer-BioNTech (n=38; 44.7%) or Moderna (n=35; 41.2%) vaccine. Severe illness was more common among participants who received a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination regimen (n=33/73; 45.2%), and patients with critical disease were more likely to have received the Moderna vaccine (n=4/5; 80.0%).

How can an "infection" exist, when even the pathogen has never been isolated? Not a single "virus" has ever been isolated, mostly because that would be impossible. "Viruses" are exosomes. Virology is a scam, deeply rooted in Germ Theory, which is a criminal enterprise. Terrain Theory must be followed as a better alternative.
wait ? 86% were severe? Was this a nursing home cohort?
