2- "..there’s growing concern that vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought."
Growing concern only if one actually trusted that Dr Frankenvirus (aka Fauci) knew what he was talking about.
3- "There’s a dearth of scientific studies with concrete answers,.."
That's because @CDCDirector@DrWoodcockFDA et al are too busy marketing miracle drugs to, you know, actually study how effective they are.
4- " It can all feel like a mess."
Wait, I thought Joe had a plan.
5- "Absent clear public health messaging, vaccinated people are left confused about how to protect themselves."
Dear people in this camp: There are doctors who have figured out how to treat COVID e.g. @Fynnderella1 - listen to them.
6- “It’s quite clear that we have more breakthroughs now,” said Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco. “We all know someone who has had one. But we don’t have great clinical data.”
Why not?
7- "One of the best known outbreaks among vaccinated people occurred in the small beach town of Provincetown,.. and what seemed like a turning point in the pandemic. About three-fourths of the 469 infections were among vaccinated people."
There have been many more of these also.
8- "Authors of a CDC case study said this might mean that they were just as likely to transmit Covid-19 as the unvaccinated."
So why are we doing vax passports?
9- "A newly released, far larger CDC case study of infections in New York state, meanwhile, found that the number of breakthrough infections has steadily ticked up since May,.."
That's because vax efficacy diminishes quickly over time. Ths isn't rocket science.
10- "Research out of Israel seems to back the idea that protection from severe disease wanes in the months after inoculation, and more recently, that breakthrough cases may eventually lead to an uptick in hospitalizations."
Yeah, we noticed that too.
11- "..it’s difficult to tell whether waning immunity to any type of coronavirus infection is to blame, or if the vaccinations are particularly ineffective against the delta variant."
How about both, and both treands getting worse.

There is no way to know who the poor man caught COVID from, yet the widow is railing at the unvaccinated instead of railing at the drug companies for making a crappy product and/or owning her own terrible risk decision (cont).
2- “Gary Keplinger had a rare neurological condition, called myasthenia gravis, which may have made him particularly susceptible to complications from the coronavirus,..”
Heartbreaking but not the fault of unvaccinated people.
3- “But then, in July, they attended a gathering of extended family in a rented hall. It was attended by about 50-75 people, including numerous unvaccinated relatives, Ardith Keplinger said.”
“More than two weeks later, investigators are still confounded by what caused their deaths. Teams in hazmat suits had already combed the area for clues.”
2- "Prof Eran Segal, who advises the Israeli government on Covid matters, said by month five or six after vaccination, people are probably only 30-40% protected, compared with more than 90% when protection first kicks in."
That's ... not good.
3- "Dr Anat Ekka Zohar, who is leading the booster programme study, said three doses were "highly protective, against both infection and severe illness".
She added: "The triple dose is the solution to curbing the current infection outbreak."
1- "I have been fully vaccinated since May 2021, and I just tested positive for Covid-19. I am very symptomatic and not feeling well as I write this piece."
2- "I got infected during our annual family vacation to the shores of South Carolina. In hindsight, I should have known better. And if I had a do-over, I would have cancelled the trip."
Well that inspires vax confidence.
3- "The CDC is also urging those who are vaccinated (like myself) to weigh the risks of travel, something I now wish I did."
2- “In today’s post, the company has clarified its rules with regard to health misinformation.”
Oh great.
3- “For the 54 other subreddits that have been quarantined, Reddit warns potential visitors that medical advice should come from doctors rather than forum members.”
Nobody is allowed a medical opinion. I guess next only generals can criticize the military.
