What’s the point in getting vaccinated, if people are getting covid anyway? This is an emerging mindset among the unvaccinated since reports of so-called “breakthrough infections” have become more frequent. #velshi

That kind of mindset is putting millions at risk. If there are people in your orbit using breakthrough cases as an excuse *not* to get vaccinated, this is what they need to know… #velshi

Breakthrough cases occur in fully vaccinated people who test positive for coronavirus. But there’s a difference between testing positive...and getting sick. #velshi

Vaccines are largely effective at preventing severe illness and death by creating antibodies that help fight the virus once it enters your body; They are not a magic coat of armor that repels the disease like a superhero suit. #velshi

We’ve known this from the beginning. No one who knows anything about vaccine development ever said the vaccine would make us immune. They do make it so that - even if you did catch the virus - you would have far less of a reaction to it than if you were unvaccinated. #velshi

There are more than 162M fully vaccinated people in the United States. And breakthrough infections occur in just a tiny sliver of them. And recent studies show that most Covid cases in vaccinated people are "mild” if a vaccinated person develops symptoms at all. #velshi

There ARE instances where the fully vaccinated individuals have been hospitalized and, indeed, some have died. But medical experts say that is still relatively uncommon. More than 97% of hospitalized Covid patients are unvaccinated. #velshi

No vaccine is 100% effective. Think of the vaccine like a seatbelt. We wear one to protect ourselves from serious injury in the event of a collision. It doesn’t mean you come out of the crash completely unscathed. But it just might save your life. #velshi

Breakthrough infections shouldn't be taken to mean vaccines don’t work; but they SHOULD be taken as even more reason to get that shot in your arm. If everyone was vaccinated, there would be far less reason for the virus to spread & fewer people for it to spread btwn. #velshi

For the unvaccinated, this isn't just about you. The world is experiencing another surge of coronavirus. The Delta variant is fueling a rapid increase in cases and deaths. #velshi

Hospitals in some states are, once again, struggling to keep up. This shouldn't be happening in a country with a surplus of a free, life-saving vaccine. #velshi

So, what’s the point in getting vaccinated? In protecting yourself, you will protect others. It stops the spread. And, together, we save lives. #velshi
