Study: Medicare Data Reveals Fully-Vaxxed Make Up An Est. 60% of Covid Hospitalizations

Nearly 60 percent of recent COVID-19 hospitalizations occurred in the "fully vaccinated," according to new Medicare data.

A presentation last week for Project Salus, an AI-based COVID program of the Department of Defense (DOD), reported the findings from among a sample of 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries, 80 percent of whom were over 65 years old.

"As the Delta variant became predominant, COVID-19 cases increased five-fold in the [over-65] population," the report states. "In this 80% 65+ population, an estimated 60% of COVID-19 hospitalizations occurred in fully vaccinated individuals in the week ending August 7th."

The "fully vaccinated" also made up more than 71 percent of COVID-19 cases as of August 21, according to the presentation, which was published online by the analytics firm Humetrix, a Project Salus partner.

COVID cases and hospitalizations among the vaccinated were likely far higher, however, as the Project Salus report did not include patients with one shot as "vaccinated" and only defined the double-jabbed as "fully vaccinated" two weeks after their second dose.

The presentation estimated vaccination rate partly by using the CDC's COVID vaccination rate, due to unpublished vaccine information for around half of Medicare claims.

"Even with this high of a number, 60%, the real number is absolutely higher due to the skewed methods of how the government determines who is vaccinated. They are not including those that received 1 dose, only those that received 2 doses and a 14 day window has passed, and now Biden is saying boosters plus 2 shots will put you on the 'fully vaccinated' list," said New York attorney and medical freedom advocate Thomas Renz, who uncovered the DOD documents.

The Project Salus data further confirms that the effectiveness of COVID mRNA vaccines begins to drop precipitously within just a few months of vaccination. The breakthrough infection rate among those vaccinated with either the Pfizer or Moderna jabs 5-6 months ago quadrupled from 100 in 100,000 in June to around 400 in 100,000 in August, with no signs of slowing down.

COVID breakthrough hospitalization particularly affected men, the elderly, and certain ethnic groups, like Native Americans and Hispanics. One slide of the presentation points to a more than 25 percent increased risk of hospitalization among males and around 50 percent higher risk for Native American patients.
