• About three-fourths of people infected in a Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak were fully vaccinated, according to new data published Friday by the CDC.
• The new data, published in the U.S. agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that fully vaccinated people who get infected carry as much of the virus in their nose as unvaccinated people.
About three-fourths of people infected in a Massachusetts Covid-19 outbreak were fully vaccinated against the coronavirus with four of them ending up in the hospital, according to new data published Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Jon.
Given that the figures came from several events, the data omits a couple of crucial figures: the proportion of people at the events who had received a double vaccine, and the total number of people at the events.
If 99% of the people at an event have been double vaccinated, it would hardly be surprising if at least 75% of the people infected had been double vaccinated.
But if only 10% of the people had been double vaccinated, then it would raise a big flag.
