    Is it from the CDC, who stopped tracking breakthrough cases in May?

    No, it's a compilation of state data, but it relies on vaccinated people to self report. so it's likely a higher number than actual. Screenshot_20210804-103508_Brave.jpg

    Not going to trust someone who says breakthrough cases are rare when people in my daily life prove otherwise.

    I see. You're going to trust anecdotal evidence over compiled and verified data which is consistent over dozens of different organizations...

    This is the kind of thing a flat earther would say.

    That is not correct. While the vaccine does not prevent every single infection, it does prevent a lot of infections.

    Anecdotal incidents are not statistics.

    Fauci and the CDC disagree with you here.

    I’m still not understanding this…So since vaccinated people can just as easily spread this as unvaccinated, apparently, why would that mean someone would not get the vaccine? Like what’s the argument?

    You can add my girlfriend, probably myself, my sister, and her husband to the list of vaccinated people who got infected. Regardless, if it makes the symptoms less severe, I'm still 100% happy we all got vaccinated. Not trying to die and shit.

    If it puts any wind in your sails, I know easily over ten people who’ve had covid, tested positive and everything. None died or were even hospitalized, a couple were in their 60’s and I’m guessing all were unvaccinated. Only about half actually got sick, me being one of them. Weird, shitty dry cold/cough type thing. Exhaustion and sore eyes. Wife lost taste/smell but didn’t feel sick.

    Study Finds Falsehoods About Delta Variant May Spread Twice As Easily As Original Covid Misinformation

    ATLANTA—Warning that the new inaccuracies were considerably more contagious than previous varieties, a Centers for Disease Control study released Wednesday found that falsehoods about the Delta variant may spread twice as easily as the original Covid-19 misinformation.

    “Our data indicate that the transmissibility of the initial Covid fallacies and conspiracy theories pales in comparison to dubious statements concerning the Delta variant,” said CDC director Rochelle Walensky, explaining that even those who had been vaccinated were still capable of spreading misleading and erroneous comments.

    “We were already struggling under the early waves of unreliable statistics, and the Delta strain of misinformation is making our job even harder. Once these unverified memes and bogus claims break through and infect the minds of large portions of the population through Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter, they’re nearly impossible to control.”

    The report concluded that the efficacy of booster data to combat the spread of Delta variant lies was still unconfirmed.

    So you didn't follow instructions during a pandemic got sick and spread it to others and luckily it didn't turn out worse for those you know, but you've been pretty cavalier about all of this you really don't know if you spread it to someone you don't know and who could have had a much more severe illness or even death.

    Glad you all made it through all ok. My girlfriend is the only one who has tested positive so far. She had had a fever for a couple of days along with other flu type symptoms. My sister and her husband are also feeling off and have tests planned. My test is tomorrow morning, but since my girlfriend has covid, I have obviously been exposed to a shit ton of it. We are very close. Guess we find out tomorrow.

    This is false. Arkansas today (Wednesday) has 1,232 people hospitalized with covid. This is actually a drop of 18 from yesterday.

    If it were the case that vaxxed and unvaxxed people were just as likely to get covid, and just as likely to transmit covid to others, then:

    • there would be no reason to restrict the activities of the unvaxxed any more than the vaxxed
    • there would be a better case that not getting the vaccine is not selfishly harming others

    But the premise is not true, vaxxed people are actually significantly less likely to catch covid, and thus significantly less able to transmit it to others.
