“Vaccines do not provide full (100%) protection, so ‘breakthrough infections’ – where people get the virus, despite having been fully vaccinated – will occur,” the WHO cited. The lone fatality among the 116 “breakthrough infections” was an elderly man who died because of COVID-19, not because of the vaccine, Domingo hastily clarified. Out of the over 5 million people who were fully vaccinated with Sinovac, 91 of them had “breakthrough infections,” Domingo noted. There were 24 “breakthrough infections” among the 908,113 people fully immunized with the AstraZeneca jab. These “breakthrough infections” are only complicating the situation that we are all in right now.
