That infection could manifest as anything from asymptomatic, to mild symptoms, to severe symptoms that result in hospitalization or even death.\u201d Medical experts say the vast majority of COVID-19 deaths are in the unvaccinated. The CDC, for example, has earlier in the pandemic pegged the unvaccinated population as compromising more than 99% of all COVID-19 deaths, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/us-coronavirus-deaths-nearly-all-among-unvaccinated-cdc-head-2021-7\">according<\/a> to Business Insider.<\/p>\n<p>PBS, on Monday, offered more detail on \u201cbreakthrough\u201d COVID-19 cases:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-container desktop ad-h-50 ad-w-300\">\n<div data-iu=\"lb3\" data-ad-size=\"728x90,300x250,320x50,300x50,1x1,fluid\" data-ad-lz=\"1\" data-hot-unit data-ad-init=\"1\" data-ad-slot-rendered=\"1\" data-rendered-size=\"1x1\" data-google-query-id=\"CJOjjNCKpPICFRfq4QodMA0Jsg\" readability=\"18.5\">\n<blockquote readability=\"30\">\n<p><em>As of July 30, 469,873 Delaware residents had been fully vaccinated. Of those, there have been 567 breakthrough cases of COVID-19 \u2014 or about 0.1% of vaccinated individuals. Twenty-two of the reported breakthrough cases resulted in hospitalizations, and eight people died, though a spokeswoman for the state Department of Health and Social Services said that does not mean COVID-19 was the cause of death.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In New Jersey, more than 4.9 million residents had been fully vaccinated by July 19. Among those individuals, there have been 6,381 breakthrough infections \u2014&nbsp;or 0.13%. Only about half of those people experienced symptoms. Only 0.004% of them required hospitalization, and 50 people, or 0.001%, have died, according to the New Jersey Department of Health.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Health said the state is working with the CDC to perform data-matching to identify breakthrough cases. Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam said in a press conference last week that the majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>McEntire said she\u2019s currently reevaluating her touring schedule in light of her infection post-vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no idea what plans for next year are,\u201d she said. \u201cYou know, the COVID thing has really hit hard and spikes are going everywhere right now \u2026 and it\u2019s all over the country \u2014 this new variant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have plans right now to go back on tour in January, February and March,\u201d McEntire continued. \u201cWe have plans with being with Brooks &amp; Dunn at Caesars in December \u2014 the first two weeks, almost three weeks of December \u2014 but we don\u2019t know if that\u2019s going to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McEntire has repeatedly said that she does not wish to address politics, but instead helps lighten burdens through music. This summer, for example, the \u201cFancy\u201d singer publicly rebuffed reports that she attended a political event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast night, an invitation to a political fundraiser with my name attached was sent out without my knowledge or permission,\u201d McEntire posted to Twitter on June 11. \u201cI had and have no plans to attend this event and had told the event organizers as such.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout my career, I have stated that I do not get involved in politics and that remains true today,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.0225563909774\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Throughout my career, I have stated that I do not get involved in politics and that remains true today.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Reba (@reba) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/reba\/status\/1403344278730981383?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
