When vaccinated persons develop a case of breakthrough CoVid they have a 59% higher risk of developing at least one manifestation of long CoVid, usually lung disease, compared with individuals who never developed a CoVid infection.  Worse still, those with breakthrough CoVid have a 53% higher risk of unexpected death compared with the uninfected.

 

According to the Reuters Health news service, researchers analyzing data from the US Veteran Affairs database studied 16,035 vaccinated persons who developed breakthrough CoVid and nearly 3.6 million uninfected persons.  They tabulated the risks of long CoVid and death at 6 months following the CoVid infections in question.

 

Unfortunately, the actual study data has not yet appeared online, but Reuters is a reliable source.  Once I find the prepublication document, I will file another report.

 

For now, I wanted to share this important warming with you as the holiday season begins.  These data suggest that vaccines are effective but not perfect protection.  They say that, even if you are vaccinated, you don’t want to get CoVid because it can still do you in with long CoVid or worse.  

 

This being the case, I once again encourage you, even if vaccinated and boosted:  be ultra-careful indoors, in crowds even outdoors, on mass transit, and in airports and other transit hubs.  You DO NOT want a breakthrough case of Covid.
