Quote the article you posted correctly - it says NOT Fully vaccinated womanofthehills May 2021 #52

The CDC just announced they will NO LONGER keep or release numbers on vaccine breakthroughs womanofthehills May 2021 #48

I wonder why they aren't going to release the number of vaccine breakthroughs anymore? liberal_mama May 2021 #92

Wow. I was not aware of that. Deliberate lack of transparency doesn't tend to lead to trust. Crunchy Frog May 2021 #98

Why do vaccinated people have to wear mask and social distance at hospitals doctors offices and boston bean May 2021 #13

Your risk is the product of the breakthrough rate and the probability of exposure Klaralven May 2021 #16

Add to that, we were just told that we need to keep on wearing masks because of variants. LisaL May 2021 #45

The reality of the decision will be proved out empirically. CentralMass May 2021 #65

I find that logic a little twisted. I have zero concern for tRumpers or politic or what anyone else CentralMass May 2021 #72

Maybe, just maybe, it is because they have been dead wrong on the science of transmission Ms. Toad May 2021 #56
