WOW, this is really odd, for the past year, I have been reading pretty much DAILY that breakthrough infections were only one percent or two percent of cases
Gottlieb: Breakthrough infections more common than people realize
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said there are more breakthrough COVID-19 cases in the United States than people realize and encouraged people to get their boosters as soon as possible,
CNBC reported.
"At this point I think we need to accept that there's a lot of breakthrough infections happening, particularly people who are out a significant portion of time from their original vaccination," Gottlieb said on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
"There's probably more infection happening among the vaccinated population, more spread happening in that population, the unboosted portion of that population, than what we're picking up because we're just not systematically tracking this," he added.
Gottlieb, a Pfizer board member, added that breakthrough infections occur more frequently in individuals who are almost a year out since they were fully immunized.
Although the effectiveness of Covid vaccines diminishes over time, he said that boosters offer an "almost immediate" effect of restoring the antibody protection to their original levels.
Gottlieb also recommended that adults get their booster before the Thanksgiving holidays to have "have substantially more protection."
