Though effectiveness varies by vaccine brand, most are quite potent against infection and exceptionally so at preventing the kind of infection that causes serious illness. Of the 833 people in the Provincetown cluster as of Wednesday, only seven had been hospitalized. And zero had died.
SNIP.
Of those 346 people with breakthrough infections, 79 percent reported symptoms, but those tended to be mild, such as cough or headache. Nearly everyone recovered at home. Of the few who had to go to the hospital, several had underlying conditions.
Of 800 infected, only 7 hospitalized and no deaths. That's great and a vax tribute. But if 79% of vaxxed breakthrough infections reported symptoms, that means 21% are asymptomatic. We have both vaccinated and unvaccinated, some of each showing symptoms and others with no symptoms.
Previously on this board there was discussion of opening up countries to vaxxed travelers. This information flies in the face of that. Can you risk allowing in asymptomatic, infectious vacationers?

As per previous discussion of vaccines and covid, this one on breakthrough infections, showing large numbers of fully vaxxed having high viral loads of covid. From the article:
A federal investigation into a COVID-19 outbreak earlier this month in a Massachusetts county thats home to Cape Cod found that 74% of the 469 infections were among vaccinated people, a finding that raises questions about the prevalence of breakthrough infections.
SNIP.
274, or 79%, of the fully vaccinated people who tested positive for the virus were symptomatic.
301, or 87%, of the people who had been vaccinated and tested positive were men; their median age was 42.
Earlier this week, the CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, also said that new data had revealed that people who are vaccinated and test positive for the virus can carry the same viral load as people who are unvaccinated and test positive for the virus. This research found that cycle threshold (Ct) values in samples from 127 fully vaccinated people and 84 unvaccinated people were similar.
High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus, Walensky said in a separate statement on Friday. This finding is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDCs updated mask recommendation.
Back in May, the CDC said that there had been fewer than 10,000 breakthrough cases among the 95 million or so Americans who were fully vaccinated at that time. However, data out of Los Angeles County has found that in June one-fifth of all new cases are breakthrough infections among the vaccinated.

Nesthy Petecio is in the medals' stakes, having made the semi final of the women's featherweight boxing. She is the first Pinay to win a medal at boxing. The last time a Pinoy boxer won a a medal was 1996 and the last time the Philippines won multiple medals was at the 1932 LA Olympics, when some of the guys here were in their prime. (bronzes in boxing, high jumping and swimming).
As Petecio is fancied to go further, the question is what effects this will have on the Philippines and Duterte's curfews? Petecio is from Davao del Sur so Duterte will want to milk it.
I would expect the place to go bananas and the lock downs to be ignored.

Posts: 1056Home are the Heroes: How Come?
Some of the best experiences ast the Tokyo Olympics were the heroic women who won gold for the Philippines (weight lifting), Thailand (taekwondo) and India (silver in weight lifting). All three deservedly got heroes welcome on their return home, with the Pinay, a sergeants in the Air Force, clocking up over $1 million and counting. My question is: how did all three get home as international travel is severely constricted.

Congratulations to Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz who has won a gold medal at the current Tokyo Olympics. It is the first gold ever for the Philippines. When she won silver in Rio, she was the first Pinay ever to win a medal. It is good to see Pinays shine. They deserve a lot more than vagina obsessed sickos. Congrats so far to Japan too.
Medal wise, well done Japan, China, Russia, Hungary, Tunisia, Iran, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia (Colombia, Ivory Coast, Mexico.
