Anchorage survey shows the vaccinated are catching Covid, and breakthrough is not as rare as official sources report

126

WEKA, which operates a monoclonal antibody infusion center at the former Golden Lion Hotel on 36th Avenue, has been open since early October, and has been collecting voluntary data from Covid patients who have received the treatment and are offered a survey.

To date, the survey suggests that a majority of people coming into the center for the treatment have already been vaccinated for Covid-19, and yet have become infected and are checking in for the treatment, the goal of which is to help prevent hospitalizations, reduce viral loads, and lessen symptom severity.

According to information obtained by Must Read Alaska, out of 235 patients who took the post-therapy WEKA survey, 197 had never had Covid-19 prior to the infection that led them to the WEKA center.

The takeaway is that of the 237 people who were treated for Covid with MAB, 135 were vaccinated (109 of which were vaccinated twice), and only 65-89 were unvaccinated. The conclusion may be that the pandemic is not among the unvaccinated, as President Biden claims.

The survey was voluntary and some of the participants did not answer all questions the same way.

For these clients, most had been vaccinated. Out of the 235 clients, 70 had not been vaccinated, while 125 had been vaccinated. That means 30 percent of the clients have been unvaccinated, while over 53 percent of the clients had been vaccinated. Three could not recall, and 12 preferred to not disclose their vaccination status.

Of the ones who had been vaccinated, 109 of them had received two doses of a two-dose series. Twelve more had had the two doses plus a booster shot.

The survey points to the increase in breakthrough cases of Covid, which is a phenomenon that has been characterized by medical officials at the CDC as rare.

“However, vaccine breakthrough infections occur in only a small fraction of all vaccinated persons and account for a small percentage of all COVID-19 cases,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports on its website.

Monoclonal antibody treatment is only available for those with a positive Covid diagnosis, and not all who sign up for it are eligible.

Monoclonal antibody treatment is available to individuals who:

  • Are high risk for developing severe Covid-19 and
  • Have a positive Covid-19 test and have not yet been admitted to the hospital and
  • Are 12 years of age or older (and at least 88 pounds) and
  • Are suffering from mild to moderate Covid-19

Contact the WEKA website if you get a positive test for Covid and are not needing hospitalization.

  1. After rigorous human trials the science is coming in. Many doctors were worried about vaccinating a healthy population during a pandemic. Let alone vaccinating with a new therapy delivered by MRNA technology. The question unknown is whether the vaccinated will ever develop immunity. Another scenario is auto immune dependence where the vaccinated live from one booster to the next, hoping the booster will cover the latest variant.
    Others have taken covid 19 head on surviving as thought, at odds of 99.8%. These individuals now have possible life long immunity.
    If one was able to take notes at the covid symposium a few weeks back or read must Read Alaska articles on the symposium, you’d know of a protocol that appears to be affective in reducing the severity of the covid 19 disease. Above all else children should avoid the JAB as they have a approximately one in a million chance of death from covid 19.
    Information now suggests that the MRNA may interfere at a cellular level, and may be detrimental to the entire immune system.

    • They might not be as rare as thought, but at least most of them are staying out of the hospital and staying alive.

      • Right homo, like Gibraltar being the most vaccinated country on Earth today.
        The average is 2.7 doses per person.

        Despite its successful vaccine policies, the country is going through another huge spike in cases.

        • Gibraltar, seriously? More whack-a-mole.
          .
          Gibraltar has a population just a little bigger than Fairbanks of Juneau.
          .
          While a huge spike in a population of around 34,000 people is noteworthy for those 34,000 people and the 61 new daily infected…well I’m really not sure why anyone outside of those in that small city would find it particularly noteworthy.

          • It is noteworthy, Steve, for the statistical evidence that it provides that the so-called “vaccines” (sic) do not and can not stop the spread of the Wuhan Virus, and may in fact be facilitating and enhancing its spread.

          • It wasn’t but 3-4 weeks ago that Fairbanks had well more than 61 daily cases day in and day out while during the same timeframe Juneau had 10-20 cases daily. The difference is Fairbanks had a 51%+/- vaccination rate while Juneau had an 80%+/- vaccination rate, do you consider that statistical evidence proving the vaccine works or do you just disregard all the information that proves you wrong?

          • O?
            Ever the dedicated Faucciite.
            The point is that if the magical clot shot worked the first time or the second time or the third time, these spikes could not happen in such places.
            The fact of the matter is that the huge study in Israel shows that natural immunity is 27 times better than the clot shot. That doesn’t say that natural immunity happens to be just so much better with the China virus than with other viruses. It is saying that the effectiveness of the clot shot is just so very much more useless (or worse) than actual vaccines.

          • Matt,
            You haven’t actually read that study have you? You’re simply repeating something somebody told you, aren’t you? No reason to answer, we both know that you haven’t read that study.

          • Funny. I was going to say the same about you. Oh wait. I did . Elsewhere.
            You see what you want to see and just ignore the fact that the clot shot is dangerous and ineffective.

  2. It’s like the flu. It’s here to stay, and getting vaccinated is no guarantee you won’t catch it.

    Past time to learn to live with Covid, not live in fear of it.

    • True, and vaccination helps protect from needing hospitalization and death. It’s easy to see those who fear it, has been for a long time…they are the ones who make up all kinds of conspiracy theories about any and everything having to do with covid. Some claim vaccination doesn’t work even though it’s been proven to reduce hospitalization and death. It’s sad that so many are still so scared over something that isn’t really that scary.

      • Don’t need any conspiracy theories to know that I don’t need any vaccines. Have not taken a single shot my entire adult life. Not for flu, not for wuflu. Still kickin.

        You have a point Steve-O, the fear surrounding the flu and covid is pretty ridiculous. Why take a shot for something that has a 98% survival rate? Really?

        What is truly something to fear, is the government overreach into all our lives over something that clearly will not wipe out humanity.

      • Apples and oranges.
        This clot shot is not the same as the flu shot. Comparatively, the clot shot is immeasurably more dangerous than the flu shot (which is actually a vaccine). The vast, vast majority of people need neither. Whether the flu shot is necessary and worth the risk is arguable for the general population. It is demonstrably not a good gamble to take the clot shot for the China virus.

  3. I would have thought that people who had two and in a small percentage of the cases three shots and tested positive for covid we’re in the mild version of the disease. I think the mono antibody was meant for people who got sick and in the early stages we’re trying to head off the disease before they ended up in the hospital. Not for people who were already protected somewhat if not fully protected from getting a bad case of the disease. Not for people who are panicking and their disease would likely get no worse because they’ve had previous rounds of shots.

    • Anecdotal only, I know, but most that I know that did not have more than one comorbidity got the China virus without getting the clot shot and came through the other side quite easily. Not even hardly a bad cold.
      Well, except for my brother, but HCQ kicked it quite easily once we were able to get ahold of it.

    • Greg,

      Your efforts to ‘splain away the ineffectiveness of the ‘vaccine’ are only making your case weaker. One would think a ‘vaccine’ would prevent the disease—wouldn’t they? “You don’t get as sick” is a pretty lame excuse for “immunization” not being achieved as the result of the jab. I think the people trying to reverse the ‘side effects’ of the ‘vaccine’ are looking for any help they can get, including the monoclonal treatment, since the ‘vaccine’ did not perform as promised by certain weasels. Strange how ivermectin cured India and it is being denied in America. Something (lots of something) is not right in “river city”.

      By the way, how are you doing after your recent hospital stay from being “not as sick”? Hope all is well for youl.

      • I never had to go to the hospital. My blood oxygen saturation got down to 91% for a few hours but then came back up. I don’t know anyone that’s had any side effects from getting the vaccines. You would hope that the vaccines did make you immune to whatever disease you’re trying to prevent but that’s not the way they work all the time. People still get sick from the flu of varying degrees each year after having a flu shot and the common cold adenovirus changes so frequently that no vaccine is effective. Some people are so hell-bent on being anti-vax so they are looking to downplay it’s effectiveness anyway they can by some secondary treatment that comes along. Now they have pills so you can take instead of getting a shot. Remember When the vaccine first came down it had to be kept really cold, and then they developed a version that could be kept in a regular refrigerator. Now they have pills. They have worm medicine. That’s just called progress. But people shouldn’t chastise the steps that lead to progress.

        • I had basically no symptoms when I got sick without having gotten the clot shot.
          I’m over 50. I’m a bit portly (I don’t say fat, because I’m still so handsome), and I’m not in the best health. No clot shot. Now natural immunity. The only gold standard. And if I had gotten sick, I would’ve just used ivermectin or at least HCQ if I couldn’t get the better stuff and that would’ve kicked it without having to get the dangerous clot shot.

  4. Thank you Suzanne for publishing this. Three weeks ago I asked AK Health services, Gov Office, several legislators and mayors to add break through cases and deaths to the COVID Dashboard. It is safe to assume our monopoly healthcare provider in AK is already collecting this data so why not add it to the dashboard. It would take the crypto veneer off that many claim surrounds the mRNA vaccine.

    This transparency would provide Alaskans and Americans with actionable data, evidence to base vaccination decision upon. Actual numbers that denote the vaccine’s effectiveness without the lens of government protectionism nor the veil of big pharma influence.

    We deserve, as federal taxpayers, what our money is paying for and if it is worth the expenditure. Otherwise this stinks like crony-capitalism where special interest and government bureaucrats determine market winners and losers using taxpayer funds.

  5. Take away:
    People being infected are due for booster.
    People aren’t getting very sick when they get it.
    Thanks for posting SD!

    • A booster at less than 6 months? Seems ineffective, inefficient, and incongruent with the definition of vaccine; unless we use the newly minted one from the CDC. Do you think it’s the variants’ ability to circumnavigate the synthesized vaccine or merely the vaccine’s capability?

      • But experts say that over vaccination in a population (especially with a particularly ineffective vaccine) will often cause worse variants.

  6. Nobody is denying breakthrough cases. That is why masks, social distancing and not gathering in large group are still encouraged and mandated. The more people that are vaccinated, the less breakthrough cases. Fauci told us this two years ago when the pandemic started.

    • Yeah, and Fauci lies as well as his flip flopping. In the Fall of 2019, he stated that there would never be a reason for someone to walk around with a face diaper too!

      • Yup, and lets not forget he also said using a PCR test with amplification rates in the high 30s would result in nothing but false positives.
        ***
        That didn’t keep them from doing just that to inflate the Covid numbers until the day of Biden’s inauguration where they announced they were lowering the amplification rate down to the 20s resulting in a massive decline in cases.
        Media then praised Biden as being responsible for lowering the Covid case numbers in a matter of weeks of being in office.

        • There is a group of good, young kids that were going to the National Catholic Youth Conference. Plans made. Tickets bought. Hopes of fun and spiritual growth. Until the kids got their required pcr tests. At the last minute about half don’t get to go. On the flip of a coin of a damned useless test on a virus that isn’t spread by the asymptomatic – which teenagers often are.
          I’m not saying that I hope those kids have it, but imagine the disappointment when they miss out and some of them don’t get so much as a sniffle.
          Once again victims of anti science hysteria from busybody bureaucrats.

    • How long do you want too live that way? just asking?
      Forever? There will always!!!! be threats of flipping bugs!
      Did you escape from HIV, CHICKEN POX’s?, that leads too
      shingles….and is a HERPES VIRUS? Let’s talk about FLU’s,
      did I forget about Black Plague, Spanish Flu’s, Polio, SARS-COVID,
      your bug that’s been around? How about bacterias? lets try are MERC’s
      OMG!
      Have you ever been treated for a STD?

      When? does the madness end?
      You all have bugs….SORRY!

        • Greg, you must be a walking, and I hope, shot and booster factory!

          As unto myself, I have had shingles at a young age, though no shingles shot that I am aware of.

          I have had measles, even after a measles shot at a very young age.

          I have had chicken pox, twice, though no remembrance of a chicken pox shot, though it may have happened…

          I have had pneumonia several times, yet had no pneumonia shot.

          I have had bronchitis at least twice, yet had no bronchitis shot.

          I have had various versions of the flu, yet have had various flu shots.

          I have had innumerable colds, yet have had no cold shots.

          I am old enough to have been exposed unto maladies such as various bird flus, swine flus, aids, Ebola, global cooling, global warming, apple seeds have cyanide, etc…

          I have also sustained such injuries within my lifetime that I could alert a metal detector whence passing through whilst naked…

          I have been exposed to Covid over and over again since October of 2019, without a test, nor shot, but yet have experienced NO symptoms, so I have no idea whether I have ever been ‘positive’ within said regard, though I fully expect that were I to allow said ‘test’, it would most likely show positive, as the test itself promotes said same result…

          So I wonder, Greg…which one of us is more ‘safe’ within regard unto our own health?

          You, the experimental man, or me, the natural man?

          • I just speak a different language than what is readily understood these days. Call it dinosaur language, old fogie, baby boomer, most people under the age of 50 don’t even know where I’m coming from because they’ve lived a sheltered life or haven’t been exposed to the workings of the world outside of CNN and Don lemon and Rachel maddow. When I was learning and growing up, we got three TV channels and the third one was iffy depending on the weather and the reception and aluminum foil on the rabbit ears. It wasn’t a remote control. You watched what your dad wanted to watch. I used to hate dragnet and Star Trek the original series. We used to have plastic play guns and used to play war out in the streets and in the neighbor’s yards. I had a sweet little machine gun nest in the side yard across the street. We used to go out and play and get hurt and get dirty. People today don’t understand that because they didn’t live that life and I think it affected their ability to learn. Those synapses never got developed.

          • I’m still trying to keep the old ways alive.
            All of my kids all the way down to the four-year-old know that when I ask them where the clicker is, I am asking for a remote.

  7. Sweeney, did you read the same article as I did? Your conclusion is simply not supported by the numbers. In fact, the data clearly points to the opposite of what your conclusion is. A vaccine in the pre 2021 definition should prevent sickness and death. The CDC published numbers show that neither category shrunk as the number of those who received the “vaccine” soared. Please stop with your efforts to misinform.

  8. It is good to see that someone is finally taking the initiative to see that the majority of breakthrough COVID-19 cases is among the vaccinated. The CDC has changed their definition of what a vaccine is and how it works in the body because their vaccine does not work like a traditional vaccine and they know this. They have also admitted it has lost it’s efficacy (if it ever had it) and are pushing the boosters. This vaccine is the biggest money making Ponzi scheme (36 billion so far) ever devised in the history of the world. They have made the world fear (through a corrupt media) a virus that isn’t worth fearing and it has driven people to place an experimental vaccine in their bodies (Guinea Pigs) that no one knows the long term effects of. This is not to say there isn’t plenty of data of what it is doing to adults and children. Blood clots, Myocarditis, Pericarditis, Miscarriages, Paralysis and Death. Again, would a sane person place this predominantly untested vaccine in their body, when there are effective treatments to allow your body to naturally beat it? I have never seen such a naïve and trusting populace unwilling to hit the pause button before potentially ruining their health. The monsters in Big Pharma and the World Economic Forum are laughing all the way to the bank! Here is a good representation of what this so called vaccine does once it is in your body and how it alters your cells. The video and audio are a little off but you will get the idea of what this immunologist is detailing. I recently showed this to my son to inform him of what is possibly happening in his body and discourage him from getting the booster which will compound the problem. It is a little scary, brace yourself.

  9. Vaxxers like Sweeney and Greg have to live in the world of denialism.
    They are advocates of the experimental gene therapy – they have created their own internal narrative that they will never deviate from – to do so would be admitting they made a serious mistake relative to their long term health, for a virus that if you are 69yo or younger have a 99.997% of survival.
    Boosters for ever.
    You compromised your God given natural immune system.
    You got played – listening to BigPharma, the Feds, the corporate medical establishment, the MSM, and Fauci – classic propaganda that the Sheeple always OBEY.
    Your long term health is in jeopardy – I truly pray for you and yours.

    • Thanks for praying for me. I don’t know if it works or not but I’ll take it. You know the same argument can be made for your stand. Some people for political reasons refuse to do anything the government wants them to do. It’s not that I’m trying to cover up my beliefs. There’s probably two thirds of the people on this blog that got the shots. As a person in my sixties, I wasn’t willing to risk not getting a shot. People that got the shots don’t need to explain to you or anyone why they made that decision. My body my shot isn’t that what you all say? So get off your high horse and that everybody do what they want to do. I certainly don’t care if you got the shot or not. Actually I hope you didn’t.

  10. These numbers don’t add up. It seems this writer is stretching and manipulating data to suit her purpose or she’s outright lying (she’s an ignorant antivaxxer)! Everyone who encounters the virus ‘gets’ it. The scientists know that. Vaccinated people just have the huge benefit and advantage of their immune systems recognizing and responding quickly to/attacking the invader which keeps most well and/or out of the hospital. At this point, MANY of Alaska’s unvaxxed have recently had Delta so have a recently acquired immunity. The vast majority of the vaxxed who are symptomatic are quite elderly so haven’t mounted a full immune response and were vaccinated in January and February so may have had their vaccine fade somewhat in efficacy. They were expected to get sick but the vaccine has kept the vast majority out of hospital. This data is highly misleading!!

    • With respect, readers MRAK know that this writer is vaccinated and got the booster on top of it. This writer is not anti-vax, but pro-freedom. – sd

      • That’s what everybody claims to be on here Suzanne. In the beginning It was fear driven by many, and for the other side they were still angry about the election results. So they turned the vaccine and governments mandates into a political decision with their health. I know a few people that didn’t get the shots that wish they had. Some of them died. Some people forget about all the people that died from this. They’ve got that survival rate tattooed inside their brain and like a horse with blinders in a race can only see straight ahead. The tunnel vision itself can be blinding.

        • No Greg. Many of us have been observing the corruption in government and the close relationship of pharma lobbyists and our representatives for time long before the election. We have seen the system attempt to stoke fear with a “pandemic” every couple years.
          Swine, Bird, Zika, etc.. Each time they try harder and harder to get more jabs into us. We do not resist because of politics, we resist because it threatens our way of life. To live free and be fully responsible for our own medical decisions.
          Yes, you may see some tired old repeated buzz words and such, but maybe consider that people like you are not listening to our warnings, so we will continue to use the weapons available to us.

          As far as people dying during this current “pandemic”. Yes, people die, daily. This is the cycle of life and death in this world. No amount of government intervention or medical chemicals are going to stop that. Your time will come. My time will come. Until that time comes, I will live free.

        • Greg, that was a bit of a cheap shot and an illogical leap.
          Many of us, yes, are angry about the election and it is exacerbated by the sting of having such a useless, destructive loser ensconced in the White House.
          But most of us were seeing that idiot Faucci for what he is very early. We were decrying the hysteria very early. We would be against the fascism of the mandate of a dangerous and useless clot shot regardless.
          If Trump were to back such unConstitutional tyranny (which he wouldn’t), he would’ve lost much support. This issue (the mandate) is a big enough issue that he would’ve gone from hero to villain with this one issue. Even if this clot shot were necessary or safe or effective (But then who would care if people chose to get it? I think flu shots are largely stupid, but I don’t give a tinker’s damn if people get them.) it would still be high treachery to coerce or force American citizens to get it.

    • Hold on a minute here.
      You wrote “Many of AK unvaxxed have recently had Delta, so they have….. immunity” This statement alone undermines your entire premise. If unvaxxed individuals were able to manage to acquire immunity without the help of the vaccine, why would they want a vaccine now? For that matter, why would most healthy individual need one, if a regular Covid infection gives them great immunity and they are still around and kicking?
      You also make the point of discovery we found early in this disease process, that elderly patients are more susceptible to the virus and despite the vaccine according to you are expected to get sick. This has nothing to do with their immune response, but more to do with the stress of an infection on an aging physical system.
      You claim “everyone who encounters covid ‘gets it'”. If the vaccine actually created adequate antibodies then the majority of cases here should really “not get it” yet they have enough of the virus load to present a positive test and are eligible for early treatment.

  11. All three members of my immediate family were fully vaccinated and then contracted the Wuhan Chinese virus, Indian edition. We all took the monoclonal, we all quarantined and are all fine. I received my “booster” the old fashioned way.

  12. But no word, no historical data, from any source, official or otherwise, on how many “breakthrough” episodes happened to people with natural immunity…
    .
    Wonder why.

    • It’s reported all over the world, they aren’t called “breakthrough” cases but reinfection. The AK DHSS reported through the end of September that “A total of 1,581 SARS-CoV-2 reinfections were documented among Alaska residents since the beginning of the pandemic; 13 persons were reinfected twice (i.e., counted as a case 3 times).”

      • Wow! O said something I can agree with?
        Buy apocalypse insurance!
        (Actually, I think it’s free, but you get the idea.)

      • Were all those truly “reinfected”, Steve, or merely tested ‘positive’ via PCR analysis more than once? There is a big difference there, as we all know (although some, like you, deny it) that the PCR analysis, which is not truly a diagnostic test, significantly inflates the reported number of ‘cases’, and often leads to false positives.

        • Jeff,
          Why do you make a habit out of inventing things entirely out of whole cloth? I have never said anything about PCR tests and their accuracy, never. So while you jump around yelling at passerby’s you are missing an opportunity to try and have an actual conversation, one where you might find that you would learn a thing or two some time instead of simply repeating talking points.

  13. Your sample is biased towards people who use medical services. Vaccines aren’t force-fields…. And your conclusions are unwarranted and nonsensical.

  14. Happy to report that I have not taken any shots, jabs, boosters, pills, serums, placebos, or snake oil.
    Still alive.
    Still healthy.

    Proof that nothing works.

    Hurray!

  15. Covid is Nasty! Unfortunately being a Coronavirus like Influenza and common cold, it’s not going away. The vaccines and boosters will only encourage the hardworking virus to mutate into a more resistant virus increasing the likelihood not only will the vaccinated and unvaccinated dying from a more nastier future covid virus.
    Good chance You and I will be reinfectrd again. I been hearing some residents got covid 3 times!
    Until that day arrives we need our Early treatments and early medicines like Monoclonal antibody, Ivemectin and HCQ, even a over the counter common covid19 flu cold syrup.

    I am glad I did get the covid19 All Naturally. Now! my body’s immune system has had exposure and experience fighting agianst the nasty little virus. I am Thankful I got it when Mayor Bronson and Anchorage Health department director made the Monoclonal Antibody clinic available, else I probably end up with long term Covid related health issues after my recovery.
    I say! For being unvaccinated I got over covid FAST with the Monoclonal Antibody treatment. But also I am not Fat! I hardly eat out! I hardly and rarely eat processed boxed and frozen foods, my meals and desserts are cooked from scratch, I take vitamins, and I daily walk, and I never put foreign substances into my system all my life( no alcohol and no drugs.) The Covid19 time is not a good time for anyone to have a history of poor diet, low exercise, no vitamin supplements, and alcohol and drug use including Cigarettes and Marijuana.
    Covid runs your body like a marathon race, and you need all the physical strength and Godly wisdom you have built up prior to your covid infection to reach the victory. To prevent longterm covid19 issues, you need the early treatment.

  16. With 160,000 (November 14th) fully vaccinated residents in the Anchorage Municipality and rising there will be some VB cases and the percent of such cases will rise as numbers of vaccinated folks rise. If everyone were vaccinated 100% of cases would be VB cases. If no one were vaccinated 100% of cases would be in the not-vaccinated and there would be no (zero, nada, 0) VB cases. Based on the findings of the original clinical trials it was expected (and no one tried to hide the fact) the mRNA vaccines would result in about 5% VB cases of lesser seriousness than a case in the not-vaccinated population. The J&J vaccine came out somewhat less effective. It has been seen the effectiveness has waned somewhat (but not to a very great extent) with time and as new variants have emerged. So, on the time frame of the clinical trials, it is expected that on the order of at least 5% of the fully vaccinated population will get a mild case of COVID-19; a much smaller percentage will get a serious case. At today’s numbers, in the Anchorage Municipality, that would suggest there could be , around 8000 cumulative VB cases or more and still be what is expected. The DHSS data is available for your own processing at https(colon slash slash) covid-19-csv-files-database-alaska-dhss(dot)hub(dot)arcgis(dot)com
    DHSS addresses the status of VB cases in its weekly and monthly reports available online (SD referenced the last two monthly reports earlier, I believe)

    Gotta go – more later maybe.
