"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

Even if everything you quote is true….what’s your point? None of this is striking or unexpected.

It is a personal decision; but it makes sense to get vaccinated from a medical point of view for the individual and general public health.
