"More than 500 fully vaccinated people tested positive for coronavirus in Massachusetts in under three weeks, according to recent state data.


"As of June 5, there were 3,641 cases of COVID-19 among 3,500,011 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts, according to the Department of Public Health. That's 558 more cases than the reported 3,083 fully vaccinated people who had tested positive as of May 17, first reported by MassLive.

"More than 3,000 people in Massachusetts tested positive for coronavirus two weeks after getting the vaccine as of 11 days ago, according to state data reported by MassLive...

"...In fact, the more contagious Delta COVID-19 variant, first identified in India, has been in Massachusetts for weeks now and is steadily rising. Experts say the Delta variant is more contagious and may be associated with a higher risk of hospitalization than the original "wild type" COVID-19 strain."

WHO:
Greek alphabet now in use for variants...
Delta=India

How can you still be pedaling this stuff?

First, even the most resistant of states have now vaccinated close to 50%. So if you really think that only 10% of ophthalmologists are vaccinated...or if you somehow think ophthalmologists are more significant that plumbers, lawyers, or fortune tellers in this regard, there's probably no reasoning with you

Second, even if the numbers you cite for breakthrough cases are correct, we're talking about less than 1 in 1,000. The vaccines are a huge success.

Third, the Delta variant is a great reason for people to go get jabbed!
