US Media's Amplification of "Breakthrough Infections" Growing as Cases Increase

The breakthrough infections narrative has been amplified by 304 U.S. media sources across 407 unique narratives in the last 30 days. The New York Times, CNN, and Boston Globe are the leading amplifiers of this narrative.

A breakthrough infection is a case of illness in which a vaccinated individual becomes sick from the same illness that the vaccine is meant to prevent. Currently, the leading amplified narrative is an article by AP News titled “Nearly All COVID Deaths in the US Are Now Among the Unvaccinated.”
