Can Vaccines Stop Variants. Here's What We Know So Far. Breakthrough Covid-19 Infections and Deaths. Since no vaccine is 100% effective, until a disease is eradicated, we always run the risk of breakthrough infections, even when we are completely vaccinated. The Really Surprising Thing About Fully Vaccinated People Who Get Covid-19. The number of so called “breakthrough” cases we’re seeing is even lower than expected. Most of the antivax messages are recycles of previous misinformation, for example Infertility and Covid Vaccines =2=, has been used previously as a reason not to get the polio vaccine *^D, and apparently it does not matter that it is too soon for infertility to becomeapparent. Any baby bust 201220-CV16, can be attributed to people delaying pregnancies during CV.

-E. MORE: PCR Tests on Vaccinated and Unvaccinated People Are Evaluated Using the Same Criteria; the CDC didn’t change criteria for detecting infection in vaccinated people. CLAIM The U.S. CDC is “lowering their CT value when testing samples from suspected ‘breakthrough infections’” to decrease the number of officially recorded cases. VERDICT Factually inaccurate: The CDC didn’t change the PCR tests’ cycle thresholds for vaccinated people. The guidance cited in the article refers to genomic sequencing, which is used for identifying the virus’ lineage and variants. It isn’t used to test for the presence of infection. The CDC is still recording all vaccine breakthrough cases, not only the ones that led to hospitalization or death. And finally, the Covid-19 vaccines aren’t gene therapy. Gene therapy involves modifying genes to treat diseases. Covid-19 vaccines don’t modify DNA *^G.

This is also a trope of the anti GMO + Natural Food = Frankenfood panics that overlap with antivax.
