Not going away with all those jabbed people getting Covid.

June 10, 2021

Two weeks ago, the New York Yankees made the news when several fully vaccinated people in their organization tested positive for COVID-19.

Here in Utah, we’ve also had a small number of confirmed cases of fully vaccinated people testing positive for COVID-19.

A small number of people who are vaccinated will still test positive for COVID-19. These are called “breakthrough cases.” This is to be expected. No vaccine is 100% effective but it’s important to keep in mind that the vast majority of “breakthrough cases” don’t have any symptoms of COVID-19 or very mild symptoms.

BUT people with vaccine breakthrough infections spread COVID-19 to others.

Omicron in Oakland: How a Wisconsin wedding with vaccinated people led to outbreak
An epidemiologist who went to the wedding and got sick herself, has this warning: "We all have COVID fatigue. The virus does not."

An epidemiologist who was one of 12 people to catch COVID at a Wisconsin wedding, explains how this happened in a place where everyone was vaccinated.
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- There has been a lot of news about a Wisconsin wedding that left 12 people in the East Bay testing positive for COVID-19, many of them with the omicron variant, according to Alameda County Public Health Department.

ABC7 News reporter Leslie Brinkley spoke with an epidemiologist who attended the wedding and got sick herself.

Debra Furr-Holden is the associate Dean of Public Health Integration at Michigan State University.

"I'll give people a cautionary tale," she said. "If a group of medical professionals and public health professionals can't prevent spread at a social gathering, it's just the luck of the draw for everybody."

She said she attended the November 27 wedding in Wisconsin where there were about 100 guests, who were masked at the church and reception except while eating, drinking or dancing.

She recalls, "Thinking I was at an event with very responsible people who are very smart. We all did the right thing, we got tested in advance. We got our vaccines. Many had boosters. And we still ended up infecting each other and then some of us came home and infected our loved ones."

Furr- Holden infected her daughter and had to isolate from her three month old granddaughter. She said she got a scratchy throat and severe headache but is ok now.

Alameda County Public Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss says, "From my understanding all of them had traveled to the wedding."

Kaiser Permanente said Alameda Public Health announced 12 COVID-19 cases on December 3, many of them the omicron variant.

11 of those cases are among staff at Kaiser's Oakland Medical Center. One worked at Highland Hospital.

Alameda County Public Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss says, "From my understanding all of them had traveled to the wedding."
The bride and groom left immediately from the wedding on a honeymoon overseas. They tested positive and are still in a 14-day quarantine.

If you’ve been fully vaccinated:

You can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic.
To reduce the risk of being infected with the Delta variant and possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission.
