Mass vaccination fails to halt Covid transmission rates – study

 “Many decisionmakers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.” The epidemiological relevance of the COVID-19-vaccinated population is increasing – The Lancet Regional Health – Europe

Successful vaccine rollouts have failed to stop Covid transmission, with new data showing the prevalence of the virus increasing in fully jabbed individuals, according to a medical study in The Lancet.

Examining new infections in Germany, researchers found that the rate of cases among fully vaccinated individuals aged 60 and older has risen from 16.9% in July to 58.9% in October.

Offering a clear assessment that fully vaccinated people are increasingly becoming the source of Covid transmission, the study identified a similar situation in the UK. Throughout Britain, the number of household contacts exposed to unvaccinated cases (23%) was slightly lower than the number exposed to vaccinated individuals (25%).

In the space of three weeks in Britain, 100 Covid cases were reported among individuals who are 60 or older. Out of those infections, 89.7% of people were fully vaccinated, while 3.4% were unvaccinated.

More concerning for researchers, in Israel, an outbreak that infected multiple healthcare workers and patients, as well as their family members, came from a fully vaccinated hospital patient.

Backing up the fears expressed in the study, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently lists four of the five areas across the US with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated individuals as high transmission counties.

Researchers warned that decision makers must acknowledge the risk that is still posed by vaccinated individuals.

It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.

The research released in The Lancet comes as countries weigh imposing Covid vaccine mandates to help protect citizens from the spread of the omicron variant and a potential resurgence in case numbers. Greece became the first nation in the EU to implement a Covid vaccine requirement, threatening all over-60s who don’t get the jab with a monthly fine.

Martin comments: A message to all the Vaccine Passport holding “freedom” lovers out there. You have been conned. Wielding your digital prison shackles like a magic talisman that wards off viruses and opens the door to special privileges (ie a fake semblance of normality). I’ve seen too many vaxxed friends and associates get sick shortly after their second dose and brush it off as “coincidence’. One soul this week in hospital with myocarditis in my circle. As for the so-called “freedoms” the jabbed have been granted, well, this author conducted his life as normal today, mandate protest aside. Having had no restrictions evident in my life, I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. Sure, my partner misses going to the bar, but we’ll invite friends round for drinks instead. We have truly reached the stage where, for those bearing a vaccine pass, Freedom is Slavery. I prefer freedom of the non-Orwellian variety thanks.

Meanwhile an Epidemic of the Vaccinated is coming. Be prepared.
