For the first time, a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine.
Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted for The Washington Post’s Health 202 newsletter, by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year. As vaccination rates have increased and new variants appeared, the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been steadily rising. In September 2021, vaccinated people made up just 23 percent of coronavirus fatalities. In January and February this year, it was up to 42 percent, per our colleagues Fenit Nirappil and Dan Keating.
“We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Cox said.
Being unvaccinated is still a major risk factor for dying from COVID-19. But efficacy wanes over time, and an analysis out last week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the need to get regular booster shots to keep one’s risk of death from the coronavirus low, especially for the elderly.
Anthony Fauci, the nation’s preeminent infectious-disease expert, used his last White House briefing Wednesday ahead of his December retirement to urge Americans to get the recently authorized omicron-specific boosters.
“The final message I give you from this podium is that please, for your own safety, for that of your family, get your updated COVID-19 shot as soon as you’re eligible,” he said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted:
“Dr. Fauci is a pillar of the public health community. From HIV and AIDS to Ebola to COVID, he has kept the American public informed and prepared through multiple crises. It was an honor having him in the briefing room to remind Americans on the importance of getting vaccinated.”
Cox, like many experts, says she’s not surprised by the ratio shift. There are a few reasons:
- At this point in the pandemic, a large majority of Americans have received at least their primary series of coronavirus vaccines, so it makes sense that vaccinated people are making up a greater share of fatalities.
- Individuals at greatest risk of dying from a coronavirus infection, such as the elderly, are also more likely to have received the shots.
- Vaccines lose potency against the virus over time and variants arise that are better able to resist the vaccines, so continued boosters are needed to continue to prevent illness and death.
- The BA.5 omicron subvariant became dominant in July and consistently accounted for the majority of new coronavirus infections across the United States until earlier this month. The highly transmissible strain fueled a surge of new infections, reinfections and hospitalizations throughout the summer.
It’s still true that vaccinated groups are at a lower risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection than the unvaccinated when the data is adjusted for age. An analysis released by the CDC last week underscores the protection that additional booster shots offer against severe illness and death as immunity wanes.
In August, the highly contagious BA.5 variant reached its peak:
- That month, unvaccinated people aged 6 months and older died at about six times the rate of those who had received their primary series of shots.
- People with one booster dose were even better protected. Unvaccinated people over the age of 5 had about 8 times the risk of dying from a coronavirus infection than those who received a booster shot.
- Among individuals who were eligible to receive additional booster shots, the gap is even more striking. Unvaccinated people 50 and up had 12 times the risk of dying from COVID-19 than adults the same age with two or more booster doses.
David French, senior editor for the Dispatch, tweeted: “One of the saddest phenomena of the online right is the absolute fury at those of us who supported COVID vaccines and continue to support COVID vaccines. The death toll of vaccine refusal is simply staggering and heartbreaking.” He pointed out that 100 percent vaccination could have prevented 300,000 deaths between January 1, 2021 and April 30, 2022.
Americans’ uptake of the latest booster shots continues to be slow.
Around 35 million people have received the updated boosters that became available to people 12 and over in September and to children as young as 5 last month. That’s a little over 10 percent of the U.S. population, amid concern that cooler weather will bring a surge of COVID cases as people move indoors and respiratory infections spread.
Wednesday, the White House announced a six-week push ahead of the holidays aimed at increasing booster uptake among seniors, people who are racial minorities and those who live in rural areas, all of which have disproportionately suffered severe disease and death during the coronavirus pandemic, our colleagues Frances Stead Sellers and Ariana Eunjung Cha write.
Senior officials said the Biden administration would direct some of its remaining resources to fight the pandemic into a $475 million campaign to support community health centers and organizations working to get the elderly and people with disabilities boosted.
The administration’s push coincided with the release of a CDC study offering the first evidence that the bivalent boosters are better at preventing symptomatic infection against newly circulating variants than earlier doses.
“I feel very confident that if people continue to get vaccinated at good numbers, if people get boosted, we can absolutely have a very safe and healthy holiday season,” Ashish Jha, White House coronavirus czar, said Wednesday.
This imbecile needs to differentiate between died with and of course died of…
because most people that die with (and that’s most of ’em.. the rest have pneumonia) so called ‘covid’ are dying anyway..so called ‘covid is just theoretically tacked on to their terminal cancer…. sans autopsy..
These sort of reports are just obfuscation and can probably be filed under agitation propaganda…
lt would be more useful to note what exactly these ‘vaccinees’ die of….
Note that the CDC has established different procedures for coding cause of death among the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. If a vaccinated person has multiple underlying conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc, tests positive for covid and dies, the underlying condition is reported as cause of death. If an unvaccinated person with the same underlying conditions tests positive for covid and dies, it is ALWAYS reported as a covid death. This methodology obviously overstates the effectiveness of the vaccine and overstates the risk of death among the unvaxxed.
It is also useful to note that the CDC long ago mandated a lower cycle count threshold for detecting covid in vaccinated people– 28 doubling cycles vs. up to 35 cycles for the unvaxxed. This has the effect of exaggerating rates of covid among the unvaxxed, because at 35 cycles, meaningless non-infectious fragments of covid, and even residues of the reagents used in testing, can produce a positive PCR test.
Also recall that per CDC, someone is considered unvaccinated until 14 days after they receive a second dose. All the people who took one shot, got hurt, and declined the second shot, are now counted in the unvaxxed population. Any negative impact the first vaccine dose may have had gets completely concealed by this categorization.
The net effect of these data practices is to make it impossible to fairly compare mortality and morbidity rates across the vaxxed and unvaxxed populations.

has the “corvid virus” been identified/isolate to cause the disease “covid” ? as a matter of fact any “virus” has never been identified/isolate to cause any disease. independence scientific communities are not in agreement with official narration. there where targeted poisoning driving masses to injection with fake PCR testing.
the article is so deceiving in order to promote clot-shot. shame on the ‘clever’ writer. is this number of killings/injuries not enough? even B Gate’s target was a 20% reduction mainly westerner. this group of masses would be formidable resistance if they pull their act together. alas, they left all form of norm and tradition.
The elephant in the room here is that regardless of any increased or decreased risk of death from Covid for the vaccinated, Covid was never a real risk which justified any vaccines, and now with so very, very few actual Covid-related deaths, people are dying from multiple causes from having been induced and in many cases “coerced” by our governments and healthcare agencies to take the jab.
The US CDC boasts of 68.7% of their population being “fulling vaccinated”. However, that is the same organization which faked and faked Covid death numbers to maintain the lockdowns, and in order to hype the need for the vaccines such that by mid-August 2020 their Covid death numbers were 5 times (FIVE TIMES) the world average. Meanwhile, the other leading nation of the plandemic scam – the UK – at the same time posted Covid death numbers 8 times (EIGHT TIMES) the world average. In fact, the Brit numbers were so out of whack that their authorities admitted they were a bit inflated and accordingly in August of 2020 they reduced them more in keeping with the inflated US numbers at just 5 times the average.
Coincidentally, France had five times the world average at the same time. My, my what a strange pandemic when neighboring nations all had numbers only slightly higher than the world average. Of course, we cannot forget the fact that these are the leader nations being utilized to usher in the UN & WEF Agendas, and that they had to pave the way for all of the mandates to lock us down into their New World Order prison.
The point is that we can no longer trust any numbers which come out of the US CDC or the Brit NHS especially with respect to anything to do with Covid, including the vaccines. The nation-to-nation Covid vaccine numbers until recently were blazoned with priority posting on Google, as if those nations with the most vaccinated were to be commended. Now, you have to do some digging to find them, as if high percentages of people having been vaccinated is not such a good thing. There likely is some startling correlation emerging between those vaccinated having higher mortality rates than the unvaccinated.
The CDC stats telling us how many Americans have been vaccinated are most likely inflated, simply because until now with vaccine deaths they cannot hide, it had been their INTEREST to fudge and inflate the numbers in order to encourage and intimidate more and more Americans to get jabbed. Equally so, it was their INTEREST in 2020 and in 2021 to fudge and inflate death numbers in order to keep up the scare to maintain the emergency conditions and to induce people to take the vaccines allegedly to make them “safe”. None of their data can be considered as disinterests, objective, or scientific. Now they are having to reverse gears but they, just as with the Brit authorities, but they have destroyed the credibility and reliability of their stats for any actual scientific purposes.
Taking into consideration that the US CDC had a very strong INTEREST to inflate the number of people actually vaccinated in the US, we can surmise that probably only about half of their population was actually vaccinated once, and far less were actually “fully vaccinated”. What is telling is that according to their own figures more than half of the people allegedly now dying from Covid were vaccinated, and each month that number is increasing. If the vaccines were ineffective to reduce any Covid symptoms and not harmful then there should be no difference between in mortality rates from Covid between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. But what the CDC figures are indirectly signaling is that the vaccines over time are weaken natural immune systems. The very elderly who are the most vulnerable to flu symptoms could be likened to the proverbial canary in the coal mine warning us that the vaccines actually are weakening the immune systems of recipients in all age groups.
The facts are that virtually no one should by dying from Covid regardless of the risk they are in. If anyone is hospitalized there are now numerous very effective therapeutics which “if used early enough” will prevent any case from graduating to an ICU. Then even in an ICU the therapeutics are so effective that no one need die from any Covid strain. Also, even if initially the vaccines did reduce some of the Covid symptoms to make anyone in the tiny risk segment “safe from death”, they were totally unnecessary because of these same effective therapeutics which in fact were deliberately suppressed by our governments and the health-care agencies – deliberately to increase death numbers to maintain the scare.
Furthermore, the vaccines were allegedly developed for the initial Covid-19 viral strain and since 2020 it has weakened into to a variety of less harmful variations, with little if any medical scientific evidence to say the vaccines could address any of the symptoms.
What….ever. At the end of the day there are two things. First, despite removing all the “protections” and hardly anyone being jabbed any more, there’s still no significant number of dead. Second, 5% of africa is jabbed and statistically zero are dead. All the sh_t in the world can’t bury these two facts. It is, and it always was, about your owners filling their pockets with your money.
