There has been a lot of talk in the media lately about "breakthrough cases" of COVID-19 -- cases where a vaccinated person contracted the virus. Sadly, even the normally sane NBC and MSNBC have been guilty of this, and the right-wing sites have been crowing about it. The impression given is that even the people who have been vaccinated have a good chance of getting COVID-19.
That is pure bullshit! The number is cases where a vaccinated person contracted the disease is incredibly tiny.
Note the chart above, which uses figures from the CDC and state dashboards. About 99.923% of vaccinated Americans have NOT gotten COVID-19. That means only 0.077% have gotten sick. That is less than one-tenth of one percent!
The vaccines (especially the Pfizer and Modern vaccines) are incredibly effective. And anyone who wants to be safe from the virus, even the Delta variant, should get vaccinated.
Don't let the media scare you into failing to be vaccinated!
