(26,352 posts)vaccinated as you are, because of breakthrough cases, but I do feel better about having the vaccine.
I agree with your comments about anti vaxxers and anti maskers making their own choice. But you seem to be assuming that all the people who wanted a vaccine have received one. That's not the case, and I feel concern for people who want one but have not yet been able to get it. They can, of course, continue to wear a mask, but they will be put at higher risk now from the increase in cases that I expect will occur. Some of them will be unvaccinated children.
ON EDIT: And some will be immunocompromised people for whom the vaccines are not effective. NPR carried a program about that. People who must take life-saving meds for cancer, transplants, etc. have been tested after vaccination to check for covid antibodies. Less than half developed any at all. The ones who did develop them had low amounts that offer minimal protection.
