   WASHINGTON (SBG) — Data from several states and the federal   
   government suggests deaths among Americans fully vaccinated   
   against COVID-19 rose sharply amid the nation’s most recent   
   surge of infections, but experts say that is not unexpected as   
   more of the population gets immunized.   
      
   Between Oct. 11 and Oct. 18, the Centers for Disease Control and   
   Prevention’s cumulative count for breakthrough deaths jumped by   
   51% from 7,178 to 10,857. Some conservatives and vaccine   
   skeptics have pointed to the seemingly drastic increase to   
   bolster arguments against mandatory immunization policies.   
      
   “40% of all covid deaths last week were vaccinated. Stop vaccine   
   mandates & forced masking,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.,   
   tweeted in a post Twitter flagged as “misleading.”   
      
   However, the CDC stressed the breakthrough data is not collected   
   in real-time and it can take several weeks for a case to be   
   reported, so the change does not represent a sudden week-to-week   
   swell in deaths. The page tracking breakthrough deaths only   
   includes data from 16 state and local health departments, and it   
   is not intended to provide an exact count of U.S. cases at a   
   given time.
