I would like to add here once again, for the statistically illiterate;
the unvaxxed are vastly oversampled in positive testing by simple virtue of there being minimal cause for a vaxxed person to get a test, and by the fact that asymptomatic cases are far, far more common with vaxxed individuals.
Please, lads, get that 8 hour course in statistics. It genuinely is a fucking necessity for "doing the research"
I believe this is only true for what data is collected by the CDC on breakthrough cases. When I have had to get tested they never ask whether I am vaccinated, how would they know to change the threshold?

Don't forget that the vaccinated are tested with a cycle threshold of 28 and the unvaccinated are tested with a cycle threshold of 40.

Still bullshit but a slightly different form....
May 21 2021: “Caught Red-Handed: CDC Changes Test Thresholds To Virtually Eliminate New COVID Cases Among Vaxx'd” https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/caught-red-handed-cdc-changes-test-thresholds-virtually-eliminate-new-covid-cases-among “But NOW, and only for fully vaccinated people, the CDC will only accept samples achieved from 28 cycles or fewer. That can only be a deliberate decision in order to decrease the number of “breakthrough infections” being officially recorded.”
