But this isn't total cases...it's cases per 100,000 people.

So you'd expect the cases in unvaccinated people to track along with the cases in vaccinated people. But they're not. I'm wondering if this is due to antibody-dependent enhancement, something that some doctors warned about as a potential risk very early in the vaccine rollout. Only time will tell.

Not anti-vax, but not real pumped about taking boosters every 6 months for -- RoswellGAHokie 01/07/2022 5:39PM

6 months? Try 2.5 -- Happy Dog 01/08/2022 09:46AM

Well, It will be like the flu. If you don't think you'll get it or that it -- UTPr0sim 01/07/2022 9:26PM

Should take a look at the data from UK, Israel & Denmark & vulnerability... -- RUHokie 01/07/2022 9:06PM

Saw it in September along with vaccination rate, and it apparently wore off -- lchoro 01/07/2022 9:19PM

But this isn't total cases...it's cases per 100,000 people. -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 9:26PM

Is it estimated cases per 100,000 people or actual cases? How many people -- Hoakie82 01/08/2022 12:47AM

I believe actual cases. You bring up a good point, where is the data? -- RUHokie 01/08/2022 10:31AM

100% agree. We need more info about the unvaccinated but had COVID. ** -- Hoakie82 01/08/2022 1:14PM

I got my booster today, as a matter of fact. I'm stopping at 3 -- HokieNerd 01/07/2022 8:51PM

To date, regular flu shots do not cause any problems. -- Atlee Hokie 01/08/2022 09:59AM

I have taken flu shots for 20+ years and never had ant ill effect ** -- Galenahokie 01/08/2022 08:29AM

I may reconsider...I have never had one in recent memory -- HokieNerd 01/08/2022 10:36AM

Same. ** -- 91HokieBob 01/08/2022 09:34AM

That dont keep one from catching or transmitting the bug... ** -- ColoVT82 01/07/2022 8:10PM

So is this data from the CDC wrong? Poster gonna post... -- Hokie Hokie 01/07/2022 9:45PM

Moving goalposts is the new 'science'. ** -- ColoVT82 01/08/2022 09:27AM

I’d guess it will settle in to annual for flu season. It’s no coincidence -- BG Hokie 01/07/2022 7:49PM

You mean like the yearly flu shot? Why not? ** -- VermontHokie 01/07/2022 7:40PM

The flu shot is very different from mRNA vaccines. ** -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 7:57PM

But as far as in application for something like an annual booster… -- vthokieq 01/07/2022 9:26PM

No argument there. That would make a lot more sense than... -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 9:31PM

Do you know/think they will apply mRNA tech to flu vaccines? -- HokieNerd 01/07/2022 8:52PM

I'm certainly not well versed in this, but... -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 9:20PM

I thought you meant NIL boosters, and pondered your meaning ** -- WestyHokie 01/07/2022 7:31PM

Some people might enter the booster portal from Moderna to Pfizer ** -- OrlandoHokie 01/07/2022 10:08PM

Hopefully that won’t be the case but is that really that big of a deal? ** -- dirtdog 01/07/2022 7:24PM

That depends on what the long-term effects of the spike protein are. -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 10:51PM

Then don’t, I’m not. ** -- B777Fr8Dog 01/07/2022 6:34PM

I'm going in for 3rd (full shot) tomorrow. Like bigbadbird said, -- Coach McGuirk 01/07/2022 6:30PM

Don't know if we are to the point where we know that is going to happen yet -- SteveInBaltimore 01/07/2022 6:28PM

I keep telling ya'll, we will need an omipod at some point . -- HokieGator 01/07/2022 6:26PM

Which would you rather? -- Rinoki21 01/07/2022 6:11PM

Even if you can still catch COVID? What's the point? -- EDGEMAN 01/07/2022 6:47PM

Doing the colonoscopy every 5 yrs isn’t a guarantee vs. colon cancer either -- Rinoki21 01/07/2022 7:07PM

What's the downside/risk of the colonoscopy, though? -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 7:56PM

Always a chance of a botched colonoscopy. If it happens at 1%.... ** -- UTPr0sim 01/07/2022 9:29PM

I read a stat that estimated that at 3 in 1000. -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 9:33PM

No amount of boosters can protect you from COVID, but a colonoscopy... -- EDGEMAN 01/07/2022 7:32PM

Oy vey ** -- vthokieq 01/08/2022 09:58AM

I thought it just caught it early = increased win % = lower risk -- Rinoki21 01/07/2022 8:02PM

Totally agree that there is a risk associated with going unvaxed. -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 9:16PM

I quit (B) ten years ago. No family history of cancer ever for -- PhotoHokieNC 01/07/2022 6:29PM

I'm not sure I understand the comparison... -- MP4VT2004 01/07/2022 6:22PM

I don’t think that’s going to happen. Not sustainable. ** -- Hokieesith 01/07/2022 5:43PM

I’ll get my first booster. But that’s it. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 01/07/2022 5:44PM

I got my first booster Jan 3. I think I already had Covid, but that’s -- Hokieesith 01/07/2022 5:49PM

Got my booster in November. Have covid now. ** -- HokieGator 01/07/2022 5:53PM

Good Lord. I went on a golf trip to Myrtle Beach with my partner -- Hokieesith 01/07/2022 5:56PM
