In a town with the highest vaccination rate in Massacbusetts.
"Big" outbreak... with 74% of cases in fully vaccinated.
80% of the resulting hospitalizations were vaccinated (although few overall hospitalizations).
*And the vaccinated cases had just as high of a viral load as the unvaccinated cases* - which means they were just as infectious,
People are confused because the incompetent leadership at CDC / US government ignored the vaccine trial data that said the vaccines were not tested to stop transmission and advertised them that way anyway. Do not let them get away with pretending they had no idea this could happen because if an insufferable blowhard like me could be concerned this would occur (and I been saying this for months) there is no excuse the highly paid government experts got it wrong by ignoring the trial data and then willfully choosing not to track breakthrough cases.
It was sheer and utter incompetence.
This will end when we realize the real story of this data - that people got infected regardless of vaccination status but there appear to have been few serious cases (in the Massachusetts data there were only 5 hospitalizations out of 469 cases and although 4 of the 5 were fully vaccinated that is still only a 1% hospitalizations rate with no deaths resulting).
1. Stop. Counting. Cases. It is maniacal at this point.
2. Trust your good health and/or vaccines to protect you
3. Vote out every public official who keeps this up and raise appropriate hell in the meantime with every government, business and media entity that keeps repeating the baseless BS that keeps us stuck in this hellhole of confusjon.

Study: Vaccinated people can carry as much virus as others
In another dispiriting setback for the nation’s efforts to stamp out the coronavirus, scientists who studied a big COVID-19 outbreak in Massachusetts concluded that vaccinated people who got so-called breakthrough infections carried about the same amount of the coronavirus as those who did not...
