See more stories on Insider's business page. Breakthrough infections, or COVID-19 cases diagnosed after someone is fully immunized, were supposed to be rare - at least that's what a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested in May. At the time, data indicated that just 0.01% of vaccinated Americans got a breakthrough case from January to April.
But that was before the more transmissible Delta variant became the dominant strain in the US.
The share of breakthrough infections also inevitably rises as more people get vaccinated - though it's hard to know how many of these cases occurred since the CDC report came out. The agency stopped tracking asymptomatic, mild, or moderate breakthrough cases on May 1.
Though the current vaccines still protect against Delta, the chances that you'll know someone with a breakthrough case, or develop one yourself, are higher than they've ever been.
But most disease experts still expect COVID-19 to be milder in vaccinated people, regardless of the variant.
"The variants may cause you to still maybe get an infection, but not serious," Peter Gulick, an associate professor of medicine at Michigan State University, told Insider in June. "It would be almost like getting an infection with the common cold or one of those nagging things that gives you sniffles and a cough and makes you feel a little tired, but nothing serious enough to put you in the hospital or put you on a ventilator."

Nailed it.
When the metrics begin to turn against preconceived notions, stop reporting the metrics. That’s SCIENCE!
....that’s THE SCIENCE. (there, fixed it for ya)
Interesting that when they talk about the most common symptoms, they don’t mention fever.
“Where is this data so I can have some proof. I want to believe.”
In one of the most highly vaccinated countries in the world, latest numbers have 52% of new COVID cases being in fully vaccinated people. 1% of new COVID cases are in people who have recovered from COVID.
Yep. They should be dropping like flies. In our area they recently announced the tracking of homeless deaths due to the virus.
Ya know, dying of overdose “with COVID”, dying by stabbing “with COVID”, dying of exposure “with COVID”, etc., etc...
* The jab doesn't work very well for preventing covid
* most disease experts (how many are there. How many is most?)
* Two young people got covid after the jab but probably wouldn't have gotten it or wouldn't have noticed they had without the jab
Where is this data, please?
Didja notice that they never suggest that the 'vaccinated' who are symptomatic ever isolate/quarantine???
This false paradigm is so thick with unscientific 'truths' that it has become the ultimate IQ test.
"I see stupid people."
You win a cookie and Gold Star ;)
The Mengele in your example is Fauci, who through his now public, videotaped statements that he was responsible through the NIH for funding gain of function research at the Wuhan lab, is guilty of the deaths of MILLIONS of people worldwide.
The lying liberal lamestream media is his willing enabler.
As is our own Government and specifically, those corrupt politicians who enabled funding for it.
All need to be publicly hanged by their necks for their role in this global "pandemic" that they engineered and executed.
They won’t have it
Measles and mumps still exist
Seems like the official dialouge changes daily, or sometimes a few times daily. They wonder why there are skeptics.
Yah, Baizuo all. 1st, flu is not like a cold. For any med to say this reveals a total idiot. 2nd, none of the mRNA fake vaccines convey immunity. So, you will probably not die but you will give it to your Dad, who will because you watch CNN and MSNBC.
That is called patricide.
What do you understand as the difference between a variant and a strain?
FWIW, our State Rep does a good job of keeping us informed via Social media. In a survey of the three major hospital systems in East Central Florida, 95% of the hospitalized WuFlu cases are unvaccinated. Of the 5% vaccinated, they all have significant co-norbidities. So it anecdotally confirms the claim that the vaccine lessens the severity. However, that does not take into account the downside. He did point out that we are still in the Phase 3 trial of this EUA “vaccine.” IMHO, the largest drug trial in history.
Blah,blah,blah! Its never ending.

I don't think even the CDC and MSM can avoid this one.
The sheeple who cried out for a vaccine -- 65+, now over 85% 'at least one dose' -- are also then, the largest available population for breakthrough COVID infections.
When breakthroughs become the norm in the US by Halloween, that same cadre will rage for 3rd shot/masks/shutdowns/money.
Then there will be no hiding that fact. The MSM will have to try to use the exact. same. population. they utilized the first time to attempt shutdowns again this winter.
No, what this thread is really about, is an obvious MSM toe into the water to gauge turning the #Narrative on its head and make it 3rd shot/masks/shutdowns/money just in time for the mid-terms.
There's not a thing wrong with your post but you need to read it through Nancy's "SCRIPT" glasses.
"Israel released their Pfizer data. It’s 39% effective for preventing infection from the Delta variant of COVID."
And who is first in line for the Pfizer 3rd Shot like right now? Israel.
Despite the fact that the original Pfizer 2-jab in Israel provided 88% protection against hospitalization and 91% against severe illness.
The only good news about any of this is that I'm far removed from the goddamn nonsense that goes on in blue states and happily unvaxxed, having had the gleep very early (before 2000).
