As noted before one will need to learn the word “breakthrough” as it pertains to covid – those who get infected after vaccination. This article highlights a person dying 1 month later after 2nd dose from Covid – but they do point out an important point – test for antibody after vaccination! https://abc7chicago.com/breakthrough-covid-after-vaccine-death-il/10558121/
“Illinois public health officials began releasing data Wednesday on what it calls "breakthrough" COVID-19 cases, which involve fully-vaccinated people who still get the virus – and sometimes die.
A 75-year-old south suburban Flossmor man is one such case. More than two weeks after his second vaccine dose, Alan Sporn, felt free.”
“While most cases are mild or asymptomatic, officials say at least 97 fully-vaccinated people have been hospitalized and 32 have died in Illinois. That’s out of nearly 4 million people fully vaccinated, or less than 1/100th of 1%.”
“But scientists say the vaccine may be less effective for those with compromised immune systems. Relatives said Sporn had chronic lymphocytic leukemia and before his death, a test showed he had little or no COVID antibodies.
"I wish more people knew about the antibody test," Sporn said. "It’s just one more test, and it’s a safety procedure that would have definitely saved my father’s life."
"There is some movement in that regard to push people to potentially get a test to make sure the vaccine took," Schrantz said.”
Its bad in India – so much so US tells citizens to leave India – https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-29/u-s-tells-citizens-to-leave-india-as-covid-19-swamps-hospitals
“The U.S. told its citizens to get out of India as soon as possible as the country’s Covid-19 crisis worsens at an astonishing pace.
In a Level 4 travel advisory — the highest of its kind issued by the State Department — U.S. citizens were told “not to travel to India or to leave as soon as it is safe to do so.” There are 14 direct daily flights between India and the U.S. and other services that connect through Europe, the department said.”
““U.S. citizens are reporting being denied admittance to hospitals in some cities due to a lack of space,” the website of the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in India said in a health alert.”
India continues to lead
The chart speaks for itself – India is in a world of hurt – and it will only get worse….the fatality rate and per capita infection rates have a long ways to go even to get to half the average.
