    WASHINGTON (SBG) — Data from several states and the federal
    government suggests deaths among Americans fully vaccinated
    against COVID-19 rose sharply amid the nation’s most recent
    surge of infections, but experts say that is not unexpected as
    more of the population gets immunized.

    Between Oct. 11 and Oct. 18, the Centers for Disease Control and
    Prevention’s cumulative count for breakthrough deaths jumped by
    51% from 7,178 to 10,857. Some conservatives and vaccine
    skeptics have pointed to the seemingly drastic increase to
    bolster arguments against mandatory immunization policies.

    “40% of all covid deaths last week were vaccinated. Stop vaccine
    mandates & forced masking,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.,
    tweeted in a post Twitter flagged as “misleading.”

    However, the CDC stressed the breakthrough data is not collected
    in real-time and it can take several weeks for a case to be
    reported, so the change does not represent a sudden week-to-week
    swell in deaths. The page tracking breakthrough deaths only
    includes data from 16 state and local health departments, and it
    is not intended to provide an exact count of U.S. cases at a
    given time.

    Meanwhile, in a jurisdiction that operates on facts and science, over
    70% of hospitalizations are from the 15% who aren't vaccinated.

    In another such location, the 5% who aren't vaccinated contribute half
    of the people hospitalized.
