As someone who is vaccinated, I never expected that the vaccine would mean I'd never, ever get sick again. The difference between a COVID vaccine and not might be the difference between being hospitalized and just feeling crappy for a few days.
There's still the regular flu. There's still the common cold (which some are now saying this scary new "Delta" variant is nothing more that the common cold).
Everyone talks about "positive cases" but nobody mentions that testing positive doesn't mean you are actually sick.
Exactly..we know someone else who tested positive on Tuesday, fully vaccinated, he’s in his 60s, he has asymptomatic..the ONLY reason why he even found out he had it is because he was planning on flying and needed to be tested, first test came back as inconclusive, the next day got retested and it was positive..his wife also fully vaccinated is negative..he has zero symptoms, feels great..so testing people who have zero symptoms is a total waste of time it just adds on to the list when its not necessary to do so..so when you hear on TV, oh there was 3,000 cases today, yeah how many of them were actually sick
“nobody mentions that testing positive doesn’t mean you are actually sick.”
Some vaccinated people are almost certainly getting sick from Covid since they sought out medical help.
Your point has much merit.
