BOSTON, Massachusetts, June 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) listed 150 new COVID-19 positive test results in one week among individuals who are “fully vaccinated,” NBC10 Boston reported, bringing the June 12 breakthrough case total to almost 4,000 in the state.
Breakthrough COVID cases have been defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the detection of COVID-19 RNA in an individual at least 14 days after they have “completed all recommended doses of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.”
The 3,791 Bay Staters confirmed as breakthrough cases represent just over 0.1 percent of the 3,720,037 people in Massachusetts considered to be fully vaccinated. However, the CDC’s new guidelines on post-vaccination viral breakthrough may have suppressed reports, since only hospitalizations and deaths are now to be recorded when dealing with vaccinated individuals, leaving the majority of symptomatic breakthrough cases of the virus unreported.
LifeSiteNews contacted the Massachusetts DPH for clarification on the number of hospitalizations and deaths recorded among the reported breakthrough cases, as well as the proportion of breakthrough cases of COVID-19 compared with positive tests
