U.S. health officials revealed last Friday, Feb. 12, that four people in Oregon have tested positive for coronavirus after receiving two doses of COVID-19 (Chinese Communist Virus) vaccine. This makes Oregon one of the first states to report “breakthrough cases,” which are cases that test positive for the virus at least 14 days after receiving a second dose of the vaccine.
Dr. Patrick Allen, director of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), said in a news release that although the vaccine is 95 percent effective, there is still a 5 percent chance of being infected.
While the OHA could not provide details about the origin of the cases, their ages or when they received the final vaccine, they said two of the four cases were related to the location where a cluster of infections were located. All four infections were in mild to asymptomatic patients.
On Feb. 12, a 78-year-old woman appeared in Los Angeles who lost consciousness on the spot in a side observation area after receiving the Pfizer vaccine and died despite emergency care. The woman had a history of heart disease, and the cause of death has not been finally disclosed, but the Los Angeles Department of Public Health said it has initially ruled out the possibility of death from vaccines.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 70 million doses of the C.C.V. vaccine have been shipped to states in the United States, and 52.8 million doses have been used so far.
To date, approximately 38.2 million Americans (11.6 percent of the population) have received at least one dose of the vaccine, while 14 million people (4.2 percent) have received two doses. On average, 1.6 to 1.7 million people are vaccinated each day.
