Latest reports suggest that people who take the experimental vaccines are more likely to catch Covid.

Which reports? The data for breakthrough infections that I have seen, state by state, shows about 1 in 10.000 to 1 in 100,000 vaccinated people getting infected. The CDC suggests less than 1 in 10,000 (6,000 in 100 million). The infection rate for COVID is probably 1 in 10, over a much longer period. But even accounting for that longer period, it doesn't appear that the people getting vaccinated are more likely to catch COVID. Probably 100 or more times less likely.

Especially if the symptoms are reduced after vaccination, you have to assume that the vast majority of breakthrough cases are never reported. I think the more interesting statistic would be breakthrough cases vs reinfection cases. That is, is it more rare to catch Covid after vaccination than it is for a previously infected person to catch it a second time.
