Have a positive Covid test after being vaccinated?

My wife's mother tested positive on a Covid test yesterday. She is 90 years old and has had the first two shots when they were available to elderly people. My wife's niece tested positive also and had the two Covid shot also and she is in her 30’s. I am wondering if people on this forum have had others, they know have a positive Covid reading after being vaccinated.
 

My daughter was vaccinated with the J&J vaccine a couple of months ago. Two weeks ago,her 16 yo daughter fainted at school and they took her by ambulance to the ER. Did bloodwork but no Covid test. Her coach brought tests over that night as she couldn`t have her at practice without a negative test. Both she and my daughter tested positive. Son in law refused to test. Daughter drove an hour away to purchase more tests and she and granddaughter both tested positive again. By next day,she was sick,along with granddaughter and by that night,son in law was sick. Daughter recovered in a couple of days,granddaughter a couple of days later,and son in law is still sick with pneumonia. Finally went to the ER after a week of being very sick,but tested negative for Covid. A few days later they called him and said the test now reads positive. He was antivaccine before,but now can`t wait to get it. This has scared him a lot-and he is not out of the woods yet!
 
The vaccine is hit or miss; likely mostly miss.
The test? Looks like it's pretty much the same.
I'm not choosing to get vaccinated. I had 2 negative Covid tests while I was in the ER a couple of weeks ago for something unrelated
(both nasal swab and blood).

You mean every company producing vaccines in the world are lying about efficacy? You actually believe that? Efficacy rates for Pfizer and Moderna are in thye 90's. J&J is less. Also, there are many people like myself who are not only older, but have compromised immune systems so that the vaccine efficacy is less, but still not a 'miss'.
 
Yes, fully vaccinate people get the virus. The difference is vaccinated people do not get nearly as sick as unvaxxed people. Only those with other serious underlying medical conditions end up in hospital or in the ICU if fully vaccinated. In most communities 85-90% of the ICU patients are unvaxxed & even a higher percentage when it comes to death from the virus. That's why most still want to be vaccinated. It's the same with the flu vaccine as well. Doesn't mean you won't get the flu but it will be a far less unpleasant experience than if you didn't get vaccinated.
 
I think the Israeli data showed that the Pfizer vaccine was only 39% effective at preventing infections of the Delta variant (but still protective against severe disease). And then there is also the waning of the effectiveness over time.
I am really glad that boosters are approved now for 65+ because I had the Pfizer vaccine, so now I will be able to get a booster. Supposedly the booster gives 11 times the titer level against the Delta variant. But, I'm not really sure what that means and haven't googled it yet.
 
Mrs. Robinson. I hope your family becomes well. Lawrence. It is nice that vaccinated people can take cold and flue medicine and have chicken when they have the covid hit them. The unvaxed are not so fortunate.

Yes, "Efficacy rates for Pfizer and Moderna are in the 90's.
And if you don't believe it, just ask Pfizer and Moderna.....we know they would never exaggerate the benefits of their own product when billions of dollars are at stake. That just wouldn't be right.
 
I only know 2 people so far who caught covid after being fully vaxxed, my friend and his wife who was dying of brain nodules in the hospital. He's fine and never required hospitalization. She died, but from her brain nodules not really from covid but I don't know how the hospital will report this because she was fully vaxxed that would make her a breakthrough case death and that isn't appreciated these days. It's confusing.
 
Problem is a positive test and/or sick have not been distinguished enough other than hospitalizations. Which can create anxiety wondering when or waiting to actually get sick.

Hopefully a false postive or just the presence of the virus and not an active infection.

Good Luck
 
My daughter-in-law tested positive for covid twice after being fully vaccinated. And she was quite sick with covid several months before she was vaccinated. So she should have had both natural and vaccine immunization after the first time she came down with it. She's only 36, and she's into the Keto diet and body-building, takes protein and vitamin supplements, and exercises daily, but apparently her immune system isn't very robust.

She has lots of allergies and says she was a sickly child. You'd never know it to look at her; a 6' 1" power-house..

Yes, my wife, she is 68, and she did have Covid, symptoms and all. About 4 months after her second Pfizer shot. Not a terrible case, but she was sick. A lot of breakthrough cases are being reported, but the data still supports both a lower risk of Covid and usually less virulent Covid after vaccination. It also appears the vaccine maybe less effective for older people.

Hope your mother in law gets through this ok. No symptoms are the best symptoms...

It is possible to be vaccinated and still get COVID. However, it’s also likely that you may not be symptomatic. This does not apply to every single person. I have heard other Specialists state that because many humans have different immune systems, so goes their vaccine efficacy. People that have been vaccinated and then get the virus are referred to as a breakthrough infection or case.

What troubles me is why some politicians continue to politicize this virus. How can we mandate that people take the vaccine while we allow illegals coming into the country and not testing or vaccinating them? Why are we mandating that people take the vaccine who have had the virus and according to studies that have been done have a higher antibodies count than those that have been vaccinated?
And why are we spreading these illegals throughout different states again without being tested or vaccinated? Wouldn’t this be a super spreader? Answer: Yes, it would.

Maybe illegals don't qualify for free vaccines because Medicare won't pay for them.

May have happened with me, or something similar.

My wife and I were both vaccinated, then about 4 months later we both developed symptoms, but mine were very mild. I probably would not have thought much about had she not been sicker, with the same symptoms. We both got tested and she was positive, me negative. Did it twice and got the same results.
So maybe its possible for the vaccinated to get a mild dose and not test positive? Or maybe I am wrong, will never know.
 
It is also possible for people to believe they had Covid, but never got tested. That happened to a friend of my daughter's, so who knows if he had Covid?

Also, I pointed out to my oncologist, after being quizzed every visit about any Covid symptoms I had, that many of them are remarkably like the side effects of chemotherapy. So I hate answering the questions because I know what causes my symptoms.

Is this true? Are illegals who are caught allowed to stay here without vaccination?

Seems wrong to me, at a minimum we should require these people to have all vaccinations against things we normally are vaccinated against. Not just Covid. I don't like the idea of mandatory vaccinations, but for immigrants I think it should be different.

Yes, those immigrants have no right to make their own health decisions like the rest of us! 😂
 
If our daily anti-fax posters are correct regarding the deadly consequences of taking the vaccine, how can they also be worried (re: COVID) about the entry of illegals into our country. They also claim that most of them (the illegals) haven't been jabbed which in their own words should make them less likely to have or carry the COVID .

Just pay attention - vaccinated US citizens or un-vaccinated illegals. Both equally dangerous???

Don't forget the vaccinated asymptomatic carriers.
