The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published new data that shows COVID cases and hospitalization rates have jumped among the vaccinated.
QUICK FACTS:
- Following the rise in the Omicron variant, health departments across the U.S. have reported more than a 1,000 percent rise in COVID cases among vaccinated people between Dec. 11, 2021 and Jan. 8, 2022, The Epoch Times reported.
- The cases also rose in those who received a booster shot, with more than a 2,400 increase during those dates.
- In Dec. 2021, hospitalizations were up from 1.4 per 100,000 for the fully vaccinated to 35.2 per 100,000 in just under three weeks, the data reported.
- Deaths also increased among the vaccinated during the final weeks of 2021.
RESEARCHER ON EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BOOSTER JAB:
“Our results suggest that third doses may be needed sooner than 6 months after the second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to protect against omicron infection.”
BACKGROUND:
- Last month, the CDC published a study that revealed vaccines were less effective following the Omicron surge, bringing the totals in cases and hospitalizations among vaccinated and unvaccinated to an even amount.
- An international team of researchers also found a spike protein found in COVID’s genetic code linked to a piece of a gene patented by Moderna three years before the pandemic.
- The researchers argued that because the chance of Moderna’s sequence appearing naturally is 1 in 3 trillion, COVID may have been mutated in a lab experiment.
