“All Three Vaccines Are Breaking Through:” Emails Show Discussion of Vaccine Failure Among Health Officials

Officials in ahref=”https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-washington-state”>Washington State According to newly released internal emails, there were significant jumps in hospitalizations and deaths after vaccinations.

Fifteen percent of COVID-19 cases and 25 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations from July 1 to July 20, 2021, were vaccinated—up from 2 percent between February and June that year, Chris Spitters, the health officer for the Snohomish County Health District, wrote in one of the messages. One fifth of deaths due to COVID-19 were prevented.

Spitters also reported a COVID-19 epidemic in a long-term facility that had more than a dozen post-vaccination breakthrough cases.

Dr. Yuan Po Tu of The Everett Clinic responded that only 20% of those who tested positive at the clinic had been fully vaccinated. “ALL 3 vaccines are breaking through,” Tu wrote.

Spitters and Tu were told by Dr. James Cook (chief medical officer at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett) that some of the patients admitted were vaccinated and most of the workers who had tested positive were fully vaccinated.

“I don’t think any have been hospitalized but I’m not 100% sure,” Cook wrote.

These emails were all sent on July 30, 2021. They were recently published Ari Hoffmana 570 KVI radio host, and an editor at The Post Millennial. They were also reviewed by The Epoch Times which confirmed their authenticity.

The emails were sent by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after they had received them. Published a study The findings showed that 74% of COVID-19-related cases in Massachusetts were among fully vaccinated individuals, which contradicts claims by top health officials that only the vaccinated will get infected. Following an outbreak investigation, the agency suggested that people vaccinated wear masks indoors. This is a change from two months ago.

Spitters stated in his missive, that the outbreak study provided evidence “sobering news” And predicted a “rocky road ahead.”

“We really need to reframe our public education approach to emphasizing vaccination along with the other prevention measures rather than the faded illusion of vaccination instead of other prevention measures. The stellar individual protection afforded by vaccination is no longer, nor is the dream of getting out from under COVID on July 1,” He spoke of President Joe Biden declaring COVID-19, “no longer controls our lives” That was the achievement of the country “independence from COVID-19” Vaccination is a blessing.

“Effectiveness is still good compared to many other vaccines and higher coverage would still do us a lot of good, but the vaccine effectiveness is clearly no longer what it was just a couple of months ago and folks should manage themselves accordingly,” Spitters were added.

Snohomish County officials had said in June 2021 that the county’s COVID-19 metrics were dropping “thanks in large part to the growing number of people getting vaccinated.” Spitters had stated that “relief is on the horizon.”

Just weeks later, with metrics rising, the county’s health agency acknowledged that people who were vaccinated could still become infected, but described breakthrough infections as “occasional” The vaccinated are more likely to survive illness, hospitalizations, and death.

“Local public health officials were publicly discussing breakthrough infections in summer 2021, as were many healthcare professionals, researchers, and scientists. Throughout the COVID-19 response, local public health has consistently been in communication about the best disease prevention measures to keep our communities healthy,” Dr. Dennis Worsham (now the country’s top health official) and Dr. James Lewis (now the top two), spoke to The Epoch Times via Email in response a query regarding internal messages.

“It is not a surprise to have breakthrough infections. Even vaccines that work very well are not a 100% guarantee against infection, and we don’t expect them to be. What we continue to see, though, is that fully vaccinated (and now boosted, particularly with the new bivalent booster) individuals are much less likely to require hospitalization or die of COVID-19 related complications,” They were also added.

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee was a Democrat who was imposed the law in August 2021 COVID-19 vaccine Mandates for public workers, nurses, and teachers. They claim that these mandates are crucial. “defeating this deadly disease.” Experts were there when the vaccines were first introduced. We hope The shots could be effective enough to reduce or eliminate the virus or achieve herd immunity. But By the end of 2021With the vaccines’ performance being worse than expected, they acknowledged that this may not be possible.

Other Emails

Lewis raised the issue of rising breakthrough infections in an email chain in another Washington jurisdiction in July 2021.

Lewis, at the time an epidemiologist with Seattle and King County’s health department, told colleagues he’d been speaking with contact tracers who “are hearing stories all day from people who are vaccinated and getting COVID.”

He said that one example was a party to commemorate vaccination, where attendees had to present proof of vaccination before they could enter.

Lewis stated in an email that Tracers had identified at most nine people who were positive for the test and sent them an email.

The event was listed on Facebook as it “Operation Inoculation: A Critical Community Vaccination Celebration” 258 people were registered to go.

“You did it! You’ve survived one of the worst pandemics and presidencies in U.S. History. There’s no question we’ve only yet begun to deal with the fallout, but thanks to all of you who have fulfilled your Civic Responsibility to get vaccinated, we’re on the road to recovery, and we think that’s something to celebrate. If you’ve had your shots, join us for a good old-fashioned, party-like-it’s-2016 Burner Party,” It was stated in the listing.

“Sorry for the bad news,” Lewis said that tracers needed to know the guidelines for masking and quarantining people who have been vaccinated, Lewis also wrote.

Hoffman released another set messages that showed Worsham at the time as interim director of Seattle and King County Public Health reporting on a spike in metrics. Durkan was then the Seattle Mayor and asked Durkan for further information on how many breakthroughs were taking place and what the severity and impact of the disease among the vaccinated. Worsham asked for more information from health workers.

“We do have information and are working on talking points for Jeff—should be ready tomorrow,” Sargis Pgosjans, one the workers, wrote. “I think the context is extremely important—an increased proportion of fully vaccinated cases should be expected since the vaccine is not 100% effective against infection and now, the population of fully vaccinated residents outnumber unvaccinated residents.”

“I agree with you Sargis—we are being clear in our conversations that we do expect people who are vaccinated to become infected with COVID,” Worsham answered. “As our population becomes more vaccinated—we do anticipate we will see more given that more people are vaccinated AND that vaccines are not 100% effective in protecting you from the virus.”

These talking points weren’t included in the emails.

The health officer for Seattle-King County, Dr. Jeff Duchin, informed The Epoch Times via email, that breakthrough infections were being discussed in the country during the summer 2021. The county also shared the information publicly.

“The fact that breakthrough infections occur does not mean vaccines do not work or provide important protection against serious COVID-19 infections. Vaccines provide substantial protection against serious COVID-19 even though protection against transmission is lower, and vaccination plus other layered protections are most effective at preventing transmission,” Duchin stated, pointing out Studies from the CDC A study by Nature which estimated the effectiveness of vaccines Reduce transmission.

Pfizer executives stated that there has not been any evidence in clinical trials that vaccines decrease transmission. Recently acknowledged That was not done.

The papers from the CDC and other researchers have also shown that the vaccines provide little protection—the effectiveness even turns negative after time—against infection, and worse shielding against severe illness, since the Omicron variant emerged in late 2021. The latest boosters, which were authorized and recommended in the latter part of 2022, do not protect against infections, according to observational data. Infection Solidly against hospitalization.
