But my thinking is that for those over 65, perhaps a 3rd mRNA might be a good idea for authorities to consider suggesting. Most of the reported breakthroughs resulting in hospitalization or death are in the over 65 group.
But not all.
OhioChick's son is ER dr & he had 8 otherwise healthy, fully vaccinated people in 20s to 30s die in one week in ICU with delta.
Scary stuff, esp since CDC decided to stop reporting breakthrough cases & only report hospitalizations & deaths.
While breakthroughs are usually asymptomatic or mild cases, the disease is still reported to be transmitted & long-haul can & does occur with those.
Have you seen Harvard epudemiologist Dr. Dingel's tweets?
