Majority of Omicron cases in the US are in ‘fully vaccinated’ Americans: CDC data

CDC data for the period between December 1 – 8 showed 79% of cases were ‘fully vaccinated.’

(WND News Center) – Nearly 80% of the omicron variant cases in the United States were found in people who were fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC reflected data from Dec. 1-8, showing that 34 of the 43 known cases, or 79%, were “fully vaccinated.” And one-third of the 34 cases were people who had received a third “booster” shot.
Only one of the omicron patients was hospitalized, and none died.
In Israel, where most of the population has received a booster shot, 54 of 67 omicron cases, 80%, were people who had received three COVID-19 shots.
White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci has confirmed the early data indicating omicron is more contagious but less dangerous. On Monday, the World Health Organization said omicron appears to spread faster than the delta variant, “making vaccines less effective but causing less severe symptoms.”
However, Fauci said Sunday that federal officials are evaluating whether or not to urge Americans to get a booster shot to be considered fully vaccinated.
“But I think if you look at the data, the more and more it becomes clear that if you want to be optimally protected you really should get a booster,” he told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”
