Fully Vaccinated New Orleans Woman Dies of COVID Aged 33 in Rare Breakthrough Case

Over the last six months, a continuous stream of stories has emphasized the Covid-19 vaccines’ extraordinary real-world efficacy. Vaccines have been proven in study after study to be more than 90% effective in averting the worst consequences, like hospitalization and death.

Along with this great news, there have been a few cases of severe Covid in persons who had been properly vaccinated. Several stories in recent days have claimed an increase in coronavirus fatalities among patients who have been completely vaccinated.

In a rare “breakthrough case,” a 33-year-old woman who was completely vaccinated against COVID-19 died of the virus.

Angelle Mosley, a native of New Orleans, died on Sunday after falling sick on Thursday.

According to her mother, she was certain she did not have COVID-19 since she had been completely vaccinated and had not experienced any of the virus’s main symptoms, such as loss of taste and smell.

“She stated, ‘I am aware that I do not have COVID.’ I’m still able to smell and taste. And I’m immunized.’ However, when she reached the hospital, it was discovered that she had it, “Tara Mosley told WDSU News.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fully vaccinated persons are “much less likely” to be infected with COVID-19. However, the virus will still infect a “small number of people.”

It refers to these uncommon occurrences as “vaccine breakthrough instances.”

By July 19, 2021, the CDC had received reports of 5,914 vaccination breakthrough cases, and more than 161 million citizens in the United States had been completely vaccinated against COVID-19.

One hundred and fourteen completely vaccinated persons died from COVID-19, and 5,601 were hospitalized.

Approximately 292 (26%) of those who died and 1,529 (27%) of those hospitalized were first recorded as asymptomatic.

According to the CDC, the figures “are most likely an underestimate.”

“While these vaccinations are helpful, no vaccine completely prevents illness. “There are breakout instances for any vaccine,” according to the CDC.

The Public Health Agency is investigating COVID-19 vaccination breakthrough cases in collaboration with state and municipal health agencies, but no notable trend has been detected.

Some news sites have even said that “vaccinated persons are six times more likely to die from Covid-19 variants.” While the rise in the number of vaccinated persons getting coronavirus is genuine and to be expected given the limitations of current vaccinations, these reports are deceptive.

The Mosleys have urged people to continue using face masks and getting vaccinated, and Tara Mosley has advocated for a healthy lifestyle.

“Angele was remarkable for her age. But she was overweight, which I believe led to her death,” she explained, referring to the fact that persons with underlying health issues are more prone to the virus’s worst consequences.

COVID instances are increasing in almost 90% of jurisdictions across the United States, with the Delta Variant accounting for more than 80% of recent cases.

On January 19, 2021, flags are left at the COVID-19 Memorial at Lafayette Square in New Orleans, Louisiana. The great majority of individuals have been protected against the virus thanks to vaccines, but a tiny minority remain vulnerable.
