The CDC’s definition of Breakthrough Case: “A person who has SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen detected on a respiratory specimen collected =14 days after completing the primary series of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.”
(Tom: Which is completely erroneous as according to a video I saw last week of the head of the FDA, the FDA have not and will not authorise the use of any current COVID shot as they have not been fully tested. They are an experimental medical intervention approved for emergency use.)
Tom’s definition: A breakthrough case is an incident of infection or disease in a person vaccinated against that infection or disease.
From the CDC web site:
“As previously announced, CDC is transitioning to reporting only patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection that were hospitalized or died to help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance. That change in reporting will begin on May 14, 2021. In preparation for that transition, the number of reported breakthrough cases will not be updated on May 7, 2021.”
(Tom: A high number of reported breakthrough cases might turn people off getting a shot. The easy way to fix the problem is to stop counting the vast majority of breakthrough cases! And to counter the PF line that people who receive the COVID shot cannot shed the spike protein:)
“Like with other vaccines, symptomatic vaccine breakthrough cases will occur, even though the vaccines are working as expected… …Asymptomatic infections among vaccinated people also will occur.”
So, there you have it. If you don’t like the results, change the counting criteria.
