I am SO tired of tRUMP and his whole alternate universe.

39. So today a neighbor came over and political talk started about COVID......

Then my son started in on me.... because I rejected his "facts" that Vaccinated people are dying MORE than non vaccinated.


FACT CHECK
MISLEADING...... MORE people have had at least the first two doses... so a higher percentage of the population is vaxxed.

Those who are ALSO boosted have not been hospitalized at the same rate of partially vaxxed or non vaxxed.

A man in the video reads from the article text: “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 Health 202 by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation.”


The CDC tracks COVID vaccinations given in the United States (here ), and as of Nov. 30, 2022, a total of 228,390,445 million people had completed the two-dose primary vaccination series, representing 68.8% of the population, according to the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker.

By age group, 93.8% of people 65 and older had completed the primary vaccination series, the Data Tracker shows. A majority in every age grouping has also completed primary vaccination, including 78.6% of those 18 and older, 77% of those 12 and older, and 72.9% over age 5.

VERDICT

Misleading. Data collected by the CDC from September 2021 to September 2022 and described in a Washington Post article shows that a majority of people dying from COVID-19 in the U.S. had been vaccinated because the majority of people in the U.S. are vaccinated, and does not reflect vaccine effectiveness.
