I am not one to argue that we have been grossly deceived. Americans are math and science illiterate, as most parents of high school graduates know.

They also stated that in their investigations of breakthrough cases, they even lowered the cycle threshold to 28 cycles. But this was only for vaccinated. They still recommend a higher threshold of 40 for the unvaccinated.

But I believe the CDC website says that it is counting all positive symptomatic covid cases as breakthroughs (more witchery with statistics), and is investigating only hospitalizations and deaths. To find something as to count those hospitalizations or deaths were not from covid. This is pretty much stated on the website, or was the last time I looked just a few days ago.
