COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Fatalities and Hospitalizations Increased

As of May 22, 2021, the US CDC reported 127,769,851 people over 12 years of age had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. This data represents about 45.6% of the US population.

The CDC also reported today the current 7-day moving average of daily new cases (27,789) decreased 19.5% compared with the previous 7-day moving average. 

Furthermore, the CDC stated 'COVID-19 vaccines effectively prevent mild symptoms, severe disease, and hospitalizations due to COVID-19. But it is still possible for a fully vaccinated person to become infected if exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 beta coronavirus.' 

As of May 17, 2021, hospitalized or fatal (353) vaccine Breakthrough Cases confirmed by the CDC had reached 1,949. About 79% of the Breakthrough Cases are seniors (65 yr).

And, because the U.S. VAERS system allows anyone to report possible side effects from vaccines, it includes reports that might or might not be caused by vaccines. VAERS is not designed to identify cause and effect and cannot be used alone to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event. 

From December 14, 2020, through May 17, 2021, VAERS received 4,647 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. 

Globally, about (100) COVID-19 vaccine candidates are conducting clinical trials, and 184 candidates in early-stage development reported GAVI on May 19, 2021.
