The share of COVID-19 deaths among those who are vaccinated has risen dramatically. In fall 2021, about 3 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted. But by January 2022, as we showed in an analysis posted on the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, about 4.4 in 10 deaths were vaccinated or boosted. By April 2022, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show that about 6.5 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted, and that remained true through at least August 2022. By November 2022, the CDC data show that the 7.6 in 10 adults dying of COVID-19 were vaccinated or boosted.
Vaccinated Americans a majority of COVID deaths for first time in August: analysis
Kaiser Family Foundation says, 'We can no longer in any way say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated'
An August 2022 analysis of CDC data has resulted in more deaths among those who have taken at least one vaccine dose as opposed to the unvaccinated, a Washington Post analysis published Wednesday finds.
"Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted," the Post reported.
The paper described a "troubling trend" as the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been "rapidily rising" over the past year. "
A report that was quietly published by the UK Government, just hours before Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation, reveals that Covid-19 deaths have risen dramatically among the triple vaccinated population in England over the past couple of months whilst declining drastically among the unvaccinated population.
With the most recent figures showing the vaccinated population in England accounted for a shocking 94% of all Covid-19 Deaths in April and May, and 90% of those deaths were among the triple/quadruple vaccinated population.
But to be fair and to present the other side of this coin I must also post this:
In the context of very high vaccine coverage in the population, even with a highly effective vaccine, it is expected that a large proportion of cases, hospitalisations and deaths would occur in vaccinated individuals, simply because a larger proportion of the population are vaccinated than unvaccinated and no vaccine is 100% effective. This is especially true because vaccination has been prioritised in individuals who are more susceptible or more at risk of severe disease. Individuals in risk groups may also be more at risk of hospitalisation or death due to non-COVID-19 causes, and thus may be hospitalised or die with COVID-19 rather than because of COVID-19.
But they are hypocrites because they want to use the argument about the difference between dying WITH covid as opposed to dying FROM covid when it suits them, but then when the other side of the story tries to make that exact same argument they say that it is pedantry and unprovable.
They want to have their cake and eat it too
