Catching the coronavirus after being fully vaccinated is unlikely, but it happens. Here's why.
"Breakthrough” is the new pandemic buzzword. Reports of Americans testing positive for COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated have been making headlines lately — from the halls of Congress to Yankee Stadium to summer celebrations at the tip of Cape Cod. But are these cases, which seem to be popping up more frequently, cause for concern?
Here's what the experts have to say about breakthrough infections.

Breakthrough coronavirus cases are happening, but that doesn't mean the vaccines don't work.

The vaccine works. It is just that easy. It stops those who get it from getting very sick and perhaps dying. The hospitals are again jammed and the sick are crying about not getting vaccinated. Don't wait for that. Protect yourself and get the shots.

"Think of the vaccine as reducing your risk of getting infected in any given encounter by something like 90 percent,” says David Dowdy, M.D., associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. If you're in a situation where there are more cases of COVID-19 and you're having closer interactions with people, “then we expect more breakthrough infections — not because the vaccines aren't working but just because people are being exposed [to the virus] more often,” he adds."
This is exactly what happened to me. Florida is a giant virus cloud. Everyone is being exposed constantly. If you are not vaccinated in Florida, you ARE going to contract the delta variant. There are just too many opportunities to be infected. The restaurants and bars are packed with unmasked people. There is at least ten times more virus in every county in Florida than in most of the rest of the country.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
