How do you drop COVID death numbers among the vaccinated?

 On September 15, 2021, the CDC updated its page COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Case Investigation and Reporting.

At first glance it seems the normal pro-vaccination propaganda that's being pushed through the media and politicians, and all those who subscribe to that message.

Since about March 2020 we've heard how COVID-19 can show symptoms up to 14 days after exposure, so this particular statement seems to be in line with that:

"For the purpose of this surveillance, a vaccine breakthrough infection is defined as the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen in a respiratory specimen collected from a person ≥14 days after they have completed all recommended doses of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 vaccine."

Basically, to the CDC, you're not fully vaccinated until it's been at least 14 days since you've received your final administration of the vaccine, which in most cases is the second vaccination.

So, if you get COVID, and it's been 14 or more days since you've been fully vaccinated, then it'll be counted as a breakthrough case.

But, if it's been less than 14 days since you've received your final vaccination and you get COVID it's not considered a breakthrough case.

Sounds reasonable, except for one thing: This type of accounting doesn't count those who may have become harmed by the vaccine.

It's fairly common knowledge that many people develop mild COVID-like symptoms after getting vaccinated. And these seem to be more common post-final vaccination.

From my observation most people who develop these symptoms don't get tested. They just accept what they're told--that they may experience some symptoms after getting vaccinated--so they just lay low until they feel better.

I'm really curious, and there's no way to verify this, but would these people test positive for COVID?

The CDC's position is very biased towards vaccination. This move is absolutely a way to reduce death numbers among those who have been vaccinated by establishing a timeline. 

With this 14-day period there is no way to prove that the vaccination caused the COVID, nor is there a way to establish that the person did not have COVID prior to vaccination. 

Instead the assumption is the person must've been infected prior to receiving the vaccination, or early within the vaccination period before the vaccine is supposedly "effective". With this assumption they can state that it wasn't a breakthrough case and therefore keep those numbers low (including any resulting deaths) and continue to promote the "effectiveness" of the vaccine.

When you don't like the numbers, or how the numbers are trending, what do you do? You interpret the numbers differently. You report the statistics as they benefit your message and you dismiss or negate the numbers that don't support your narrative.

To me it smells like someone trying to cover up something fishy. Much like pushing the need for everyone to get vaccinated and not have a large, varied and long-term control group so a valid long-term study can be established.

I personally think all reactions, even if they're mild cold-like symptoms, that happen within the first 7 days of getting any dose of a vaccination should be reported. And that's any vaccination, but especially one that is still in emergency use authorization and hasn't even been available publicly for a year, but too many people in power want to mandate it's use.

It's frequently in my prayers that the truth, whichever direction it is, be revealed and exposed sooner rather than later. If the COVID vaccine really isn't as effective as it's hyped up to be, and especially if it's hurting more people than admitted, then that news needs to explode across the world, and those in positions of power and authority (in government, health, and other influential positions) who have been promoting, pushing, and mandating it need to be held responsible and removed from their positions for violation of public trust and personal rights.

But if the vaccine happens to be mostly a good thing, then I hope that can be exposed as well, without all the apparent cover-up and huge amounts of money that really cast a dark shadow of suspicion on the vaccine.
