[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CDC has recognized the protection against hospitalization and death for covid for quite awhile now.  There was a study back in January that showed that prior infection of delta provided stronger protection against infection than vaccination (Leon et al, MMWR).[/quote]

OP is right to be concerned for her mom coming into close unmasked contact at a restaurant with an entire antivax family. Also, most loud antivaxxers also make other stupid choices that increase their risk of getting and spreading COVID.[/quote]

Wash Post:

“Experts say they are not surprised that vaccinated seniors are making up a greater share of the dead, even as vaccine holdouts died far more often than the vaccinated during the omicron surge, according to the CDC. As more people are infected with the virus, the more people it will kill, including a greater number who are vaccinated but among the most vulnerable…

Even though the [b]death rates for the vaccinated elderly and immunocompromised are low[/b], their losses numbered in the thousands when cases exploded, leaving behind blindsided families. But experts say the rising number of vaccinated people dying should not cause panic in those who got shots, the vast majority of whom will survive infections…

The bulk of vaccinated deaths are among people who did not get a booster shot, according to state data provided to The Post. In two of the states, California and Mississippi, three-quarters of the vaccinated senior citizens who died in January and February did not have booster doses.”[/quote]
