How many Americans still haven't caught COVID-19? CDC publishes final 2022 estimates

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-many-americans-havent-caught-covid-cdc-estimates/

tldr; 77% had antibodies produced from infection. (And 96.7% had antibodies, either from infection of vaccination.)

Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults and older teens had still not caught COVID-19 by the end of last year, according to new estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while 77.5% had antibodies from at least one prior infection.

Note: What a weird way to say it - 3 out of 4 DID get it should be the headline, imho.

Fact or Fiction: Madonna was in the ICU because of COVID vaccine?

https://www.10news.com/news/fact-or-fiction/fact-or-fiction-madonna-was-in-the-icu-because-of-covid-vaccine

Madonna spent several days in the ICU recently with a bacterial infection.

In response, a number of people have posted tweets claiming her illness was caused by complications from getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

But that's false.

COVID-19 is a virus, which is not bacterial, and bacterial infections are not listed among the adverse effects of getting the COVID vaccine.

Madonna has been a prominent supporter of vaccines, which critics appear to be latching onto now.
