NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – With vaccinations ongoing, we’re hearing more about COVID-19 "breakthrough" cases across the country — cases where COVID shows up in someone who's been fully vaccinated.
Nashville woman Holly Padgett checked in with her doctor after developing flu-like symptoms and received shocking news.
Despite getting both Pfizer vaccination shots in January, she tested positive for COVID-19 in May.

“I'm vaccinated and now I have COVID? This doesn't make sense,” she said.
Nurse Carrie Glassco-Johnston worked with COVID-19 patients and says she was terrified because she's considered high-risk. For her, the vaccination couldn't come soon enough.
"The nurse came out and administered the shot and I cried just because it was the first sign of hope for me,” she said.
But she too tested positive for COVID a few months after receiving her vaccination.
News4 pressed our state health officials for specifics on breakthrough cases here in Tennessee.
The latest numbers are now in, showing 908 total vaccine breakthrough infections in our state so far.

The state says 82 people were also hospitalized after receiving the vaccine, and 14 died from the virus after receiving the vaccine.
Of those breakthrough cases, the state says more than half (571) were women and almost half (403) were people older than 60.
We asked Vanderbilt Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. William Schaffner if those numbers should be alarming.
"Don't panic, the vaccines are still working, hospitalizations are going down,” Dr. Schaffner said. “Remember, the vaccines are really to keep you out of the hospital, out of the ICU, out of the grave."
Despite Carrie becoming a "breakthrough" case herself, the frontline worker says the vaccines typically work and are critical to saving lives.
"There's a population of people that will never have immunity, so we're really counting on everyone to get vaccinated if they can,” she said.
News4 also discovered more than 200 of those "breakthrough" cases showed no symptoms at all.

After receiving the vaccine, 82 in Tennessee were hospitalized and 14 died. How many who were not vaccinated have died during that time period? A whole lot more than 14, I'd wager.

The vaccine is quite effective at keeping people out of the hospital and from dying. It's not 100% though and nobody ever claimed it was.

That's right....NO vaccine is 100% effective, but if these CV vaccines lessen the chances of getting ill or dying, they are worth taking, IMO. There are Always a small percentage of those whose body reacts differently to any vaccine, or prescription drug...but that shouldn't prevent the vast majority from trying to protect themselves, or others.

I find it kind of amusing that the "anti-vaccine" people are always looking for any shred of evidence to support their negative attitudes.
 
We're very early in the learning curve of mRNA vaccines. Remembering that earlier flu vaccines didn't always stop you from getting the flu, I can't imagine this new approach will be all that different. The main difference between this flu season and others is the amount of hype/hoopla around it and the money at stake. This time around, y'all bought a shitload of vaccine, albeit on your government's credit card. Also, guess who's now the highest paid employee in the entire federal government.

How many without the vaccine died during that same period, I wonder.

Yes of course many died. That's not the point here. The numbers are rising for those vaccinated still getting Covid and some still being hospitalized and some still dying. You were vaccinated ok, but you still have a risk of being infected at some point and maybe even being severely affected or even die. Yes I know you accept that risk. But how many people might you infect without even knowing? How many trust you and other's who are vaccinated in not spreading it to them even if they are vaccinated. I think there is just to much acceptance of the faults of the vaccines. As long as its acceptable nothing will be done to create or tweak the vaccines to improve these faults.

None from a virus, since NO virus has ever been isolated from human genetic material which is a requirement to prove that a virus exists - but that has never been done. Also, there can be no valid test for a virus that doesn't exist. What they are testing for is a small portion of human genetic material, which every person has in their body. This is why people can test negative, positive, and negative again on consecutive days. I already posted links that verified this, which everyone who read and watched through those links should be well aware of.

That's the whole plan.
Therefore, the "vaccines" are working as planned.
People who die don't fill up their hospitals, but they still get paid the big bucks for "treating" them.

That's why I choose to not put poisons in my body, and I don't recommend that anyone else do that either.

Great post John. My hubby still has flu like symptoms. He took his 2nd vaccine on April 26 - started to have flu like symptoms a few weeks after. He's a little better (thank goodness) but not 100%. I am not pro nor against the vaccine. People do what is best for them and their health - whether they choose to take the vax or not, that is their decision.

Well in that case there's no reason to be peeved at the Chinese government, right? If the virus doesn't exist there's nothing to see behind that curtain...

First they admit the vaccine will not prevent transmission, then they claim, "Well.....uh.....your illness won't be as severe."
Then, they say "You still have to wear your mask & social distance." LOL - "Buy the gas we sell you, put it in your car, but you still can't drive."
And they expect us to have confidence in the vaccine. And buy everything they tell us.

This is a shock!

I have been thinking and telling people, "I am bulletproof, I have
two vaccinations", now this.

Was age or underlying illnesses indicated in the unfortunate 18
who didn't make it?

I suffer from age, but I don't think I have any underlying things.

Nobody is bulletproof, but statistically speaking vaccinated people are far less likely to get severely ill or die from Covid.

I didn't mean it literally, I do know that they are supposed to prevent
you from needing Hospital treatment, should you be unlucky enough
to catch covid after the vaccinations.

I wonder how many of the vaccines for other diseases work 100%? Somehow, this issue only comes up when we are talking about Covid prevention.

If a vaccine makes it, say, 80% less likely that I will catch a horrifying, often fatal disease, and then if I get the disease anyway, it's 99% likely that it will be a light case not requiring hospitalization, I'll take that chance. Better to inject what the conspiracy theorists call "poisons" into your body, if it is very, very, enormously likely that they will protect you, than to take your chances walking through a cloud of real poisons (the virus itself) without any protection. And how many people have died of this "poisonous: vaccine?" I mean real statistics, not stories made up to scare people.

Actually, any medication could be described as "poison" by those who are trying to make a political point, an anti-science point, or whatever. It's a free country; no one is forced to get the vaccine. My friends, family, and I feel protected, certainly much more than we would be without the vaccine, in which case we would have zero protection.
 
The number is probably higher because of those that got the vax and don't have to be tested or with regularity. So if they're feeling a little rundown, not right etc they're writing off as are/did many with mild signs of the actual virus.

It's one thing to advocate for the vax but another to say things like it's 'perfectly safe' or '100 percent effective', 'there is no risk' etc.

After myself and family were over, under or misprescribed prescription meds and treatments I doubt they have the handle on this vax the way they think they do.

I suspect you're correct. Perhaps many of us got polio after vaccination but our cases slipped under the radar because polio was diagnosed by symptoms, not by virus testing.

Don't disagree with this statement. Doctors and medicine are fallible. No secret there.

The question each of us has to answer for ourselves in every medical situation: Where is the larger risk, cost to one's lifestyle and cost to one's peace of mind?

My circle of family and friends, including plenty in healthcare and education, all decided not being vaccinated held a greater risk/cost than being vaccinated.

Mike - I feel a lot of people that died from COVID had underlying conditions...jmo. Not sure about people that took the vax. My hubby still has a nagging cough since his vax but MUCH better. As long as you are feeling fine, that's what matters the most.
 
Maybe this Tennessee woman was distraught after hearing about breakthrough cases so she tried to take out the personnel at a vaccine site.

"Witnesses said Brown yelled “no vaccine” during her ride, and several witnesses told deputies they thought that the driver was going to kill them, according to a sheriff’s report.

A deputy who witnessed the incident eventually performed a traffic stop on Brown, WVLT TV reported. He arrested her and drove her to the Blount County Detention Facility. She continued making anti-vaccine statements on the way to the facility."

I get the feeling that some of those who bought into the politically oriented denial of 1) the disease itself, 2) whether it was really a serious disease, 3) whether masks offered any protection, and 4) whether the vaccine is safe, works, protects us, etc........

all those people are delighted every time they hear of a case that slipped through the cracks, and a vaccinated person actually got a case of Covid, usually mild. It's like they are in a permanent state of denial.

It's beginning to sound like a 2-year-old shouting, "No! No! No!" to everything the scientists tell us about this disease. So, predictably, when a very small number of people get the disease in spite of having gotten the vaccine, they are ready with their reaction: "Aha! I knew it didn't work!"

Likewise the rare case of a severe reaction to the vaccine. Just for the record, everyone I know has by now received the vaccine, many of us several months ago. Not one that I've seen, or heard about, has gotten sick with Covid, or had a bad reaction, other than feeling sick for a day or two, and even that only happened to a small minority. If we look at the charts, with that grisly line showing the number of deaths climbing and climbing, and then suddenly plunging, like falling off a cliff, as soon as large numbers of people started getting the vaccine, the pictures speak for themselves.
