Vaccinated people are more likely than the unvaccinated to be a COVID-19 case, hospitalization, or death in 25 states
The Epoch Times compiled the data from state health department websites and databases.
In 14 of the states, a higher percentage of vaccinated people have tested positive, been hospitalized, or died with COVID than the percentage of the population that was unvaccinate
11 other states, vaccinated people made up the majority of one or more metrics
Statistics underline how vaccines have increasingly performed worse as newer virus variants emerged
They are clear evidence that the vaccines are not working to prevent disease and death
Data Reporting
Most states report at least one metric (cases, hospitalizations, deaths) by vaccination status.
Unvaccinated: people who have gotten zero shots
Partially vaccinated: those who have received one dose of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines
Fully vaccinated: complete series of vaccines completed
Boosted: people with one extra shot on top of the primary series
Not fully vaccinated: anybody who has not received a primary series, regardless of whether they've received a booster
Vaccinated: any person who has received 1 dose of vaccine
Exceeded Expectations
The percentage of one or more so-called breakthrough metrics-post-vaccination cases, hospitalizations, and/or deaths-in recent months exceeded the percentage of the population that was vaccinated or fully vaccinated.
In most cases, that was a single metric. But in several, it was multiple, and in one, all three. All data are from 2022.
Adjusted Data
Some states adjust the data before releasing it to eliminate differences that result from one population being different from another
The most common adjustment is for age
After adjusting for age, the rates of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in Wisconsin are higher for the unvaccinated than for the vaccinated
Other states have reported similar trends
Majority Vaccinated
In 11 other states, the vaccinated made up a majority of at least one metric, but the proportion of vaccinated did not exceed the percentage of vaccinated
Preference was for data in June, followed by data in July
Metrics with unvaccinated comprising a majority are not listed
Arizona+** (May): 62 percent breakthrough cases; 56.4 percent breakthrough hospitalizations
Fully vaccinated as of June 1
Connecticut+ (July 14-July 20): 2,116 breakthrough cases (56 percent)
Georgia+ (June 4-July 1): 57,489 breakthrough cases, 142 breakthrough deaths (54 percent) Fully vaccinated at the time
Other Studies
Vaccine-provided protection began waning against infection and, to a lesser extent, against severe illness in 2021, when the Delta variant was dominant
Since Omicron emerged in December 2021, that trend has quickened
The vaccines have bestowed lower levels of initial protection, and the protection drops faster than before
Research on booster effectiveness has largely shown an initial increase in protection, followed by a quick decline
Other research has indicated that vaccinated people are, at a certain point, more likely than unvaccinated people to get infected
Remaining States
Of the remaining states, eight reported the unvaccinated making up a majority of each metric.
Rates are listed when raw numbers were not available. When rates are listed, they are age-adjusted.
June is preferred, followed by July. June is still working on filling records requests by press time.
CDC Reporting
The CDC still presents data on its website for COVID-19 cases and deaths by vaccination status. The data, based on statistics from 31 health departments, has repeatedly been offered by the agency as evidence of vaccine effectiveness.
But the agency has stopped listing fully vaccinated people. Instead, it lists only the unvaccinated and the boosted.
