The CDC has begun to provide weekly data on COVID-19 cases and deaths by vaccination status, illustrating the stark differences between those who have received the shots and those who haven't -- and even revealing some differences between vaccines.

Users can parse the data by vaccine product, and while the unvaccinated have the highest rates of cases and deaths, there's a numeric divergence for the three vaccines as well.

Deaths among the unvaccinated peaked the week starting August 8, at 13.23 per 100,000 population, while deaths among those who had been vaccinated with one of the three products remained under four per 100,000 that week. For the vaccinated, deaths were numerically highest among Johnson & Johnson recipients, at 3.14 per 100,000, followed by Pfizer at 1.43, and Moderna at 0.73.

Cases were similarly highest among the unvaccinated, peaking at about 736 per 100,000 for the week starting August 15. Again, there were numeric differences between vaccine groups, with Johnson & Johnson being the highest (172), followed by Pfizer (135), and Moderna (86).

Despite those differences, the overall message is clear: the unvaccinated were at far higher risk of being infected with and dying from COVID-19.

The latest data from August 29-September 4 show that less than one vaccinated person per 100,000 had died the previous week compared with more than nine unvaccinated people per 100,000. Overall, in August, according to the tool, unvaccinated people were 6.1 times more likely than fully vaccinated people to test positive for COVID-19 and 11.3 times more likely to die from it.

Death rate peak of 1.3/1000 among the unvaccinated.

We've gotten better at treatment...

George, I’m going to remind you that the CDC themselves have admitted they are only counting those a fraction of the breakthrough cases. Until they fix that, the data is garbage.

They might be missing cases but I doubt they're undercounting deaths.

Or the vaccination rate among those at high risk from coronavirus is higher?

The vax rate is higher, period.

Isn't that 0.13/1000, at least according to the article?

You’re right. I assumed it was per 1000 unvaccinated that recently got infected, but that assumption was apparently wrong…

Yep, my mental math was off a decimal.
