WAS SOLD AS AN INFECTION & SICKNESS PREVENTATIVE

A bombshell headline dropped on Axios this morning that was intended to assuage concerns over the Delta Variant infecting vaccinated Americans. Titled, “Chart: Less than 0.1% of vaccinated Americans infected with COVID-19,” it was an obvious means of saying, “Hey, don’t listen to the anti-vaxxers, just get vaxxed!”

They went through the numbers and highlighted how rare it is for an unvaccinated person to get infected. This comes on the heels of a week in which news continued to break about “breakthrough cases” rising in the nation.

While they went into great detail about how less than 0.1% of vaccinated people are getting infected, they omitted on extremely important fact. Less than 0.1% of UNVACCINATED people are getting infected as well.
