re: Do you know anyone who took the vaccine and caught COVID anyway?

Right, the vaccines we all took in the US were supposed to prevent covid cases by 95 percent against the original version and close to that in the UK variant.

It seems very likely that happened.

The Delta variant escape factor is higher. It’s just a matter of how much. Some of the UK studies showed similar numbers in the low 90 percent range. Others have shown in the 80s. The Israeli study that showed mid-60s is considered dubious but the Singapore study showed only about 70 percent. So for Delta the escape factor is something between 65 and 92 percent. Obviously a big difference.

Even with the original, if you knew 20 vaccine takers, you would likely know someone who got Covid in the next 6-8 months after taking the second dose of the vaccine. I’m sure the social networks plus workplaces of most people here is far larger than 20 people.

So far I haven’t heard of anyone who got covid post vaccine or a second case of covid.

I knew people who got Covid as early as mid-March 2020, a few hospitalizations in exactly the kind of people you would expect, and one death in someone who surprised me.

I have heard of one Delta variant positive, in an unvaccinated older man in decent physical health and he was hospitalized for a week and is now out but not 100 percent yet.

Google NY Yankees

Lots of people getting Covid now have been vaccinated

Time for boosters, bitches!

Epidemiologists said from the beginning around 85% of the worlds population would eventually become infected at some point. IMO, therapeutics to keep people out of the hospital will be the best long term solution. I know of 9 different fully vaccinated they got sick.

3 people at work so far.

Have 2 friends, husband and wife, vaccinated last December. Both tested positive recently.

You can absolutely still get Covid. It’s supposed to lessen the symptoms to where they are minimal or not felt at all.

And yet the number of cases is what is being pointed to in order to restrict personal freedom.

I’m still not sold on the numbers yet. I was told by the MSM that 99% of all new cases are people that are unvaccinated. I don’t buy that percentage (at all).

Me. 10 days after the first shot.

The first supposed case of reinfection in the U.S. happened in October of last year after millions had it. It's safe to say natural antibodies are better if you have them.
