    Very encouraging numbers. (Despite the sometimes sensationalized reporting: "breakthrough" cases—especially among the elderly—are expected pretty much for any vaccine. The key is how many and how severe, and these vaccines are looking as good as some of the best ones we have).https://twitter.com/DrLeanaWen/status/1382681597154095109 …

    Speaking soon with @jimsciutto @CNNnewsroom about real world proof that #vaccines are working—CDC reports 5,800 TOTAL breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people. Consider that otherwise, there are 60,000-80,000 new #covid19 infections EVERY DAY. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/04/14/health/breakthrough-infections-covid-vaccines-cdc/index.html …

        Is there a breakdown available that shows how effective the vaccines are by age?

        And here’s where the messaging of “100% effective against hospitalization and death” backfires. We always knew it would be high but not perfect.

        Isn’t the fact that 7% of infections among fully vaccinated people resulted in hospitalizations concerning? Isn’t that similar to hospitalization rates for those without immunity?

        I don’t believe so, as it’s 7% of a much much smaller pool. Since your chance of getting infected at all is drastically reduced, your overall chance of getting hospitalized or dying is way lower.

        And the effectively 100% at turning SARS-CoV-2 into Yet Another Common Cold Coronavirus, even in elderly populations, is just such fantastic results.

        As a vaccinated person can I feel safe now? I would like that very much.

        Definitely good news! One thing I’m curious about—about 30% of infections were asymptomatic, but how many asymptomatic infections in the group were never tested? I guess even at a factor of 10 to get ~55k infections, it’s still only a low low 0.1% chance of any infection. Right?

        Shouldn’t a lot more context be in the first couple paragraphs? The idea is, if vaxxed, you are WAY more likely to be hospitalized or die of seasonal flu than Covid? If that’s true, it’s missing from almost everything I read. Frames are absent or buried; coverage needs to change.
