I've grown tired of the hyperbolic, bullshit headlines that insinuate that the vaccines aren't working. Even though the percentage of vaccinated people getting infected will remain low, it only stands to reason that there will be a higher number of vaccinated people that are infected. Not because the vaccines aren't working, but because of the sheer number of vaccinated people. It's basic math.
Take 1 million people (1,000,000). Let's say that half are vaccinated (500,000). At a 2% infection rate, that comes to 10,000 of those 500,000 vaccinated people. (Surely isn't the correct percentage, but I'm using 2% just as a simple example.)
Next, let's say that 80% of those 1 million people are vaccinated (800,000). At a 2% infection rate, that comes to 16,000 of those 800,000 people.
Now multiply that out by the tens and tens of millions of people. Yes, people will be more likely to know someone that is vaccinated, but still got covid. It's not a reason to freak out and think the vaccines aren't working. It's not a reason to spread stupid conspiracy theories and say "look, vaccines aren't working". FFS. People need to put a little thought into all of this instead of overreacting to stupid headlines and poor communication from smart people who don't take into account that so many humans aren't smart and overreact to every little thing.
So, one can look at all of this with logic, reason, intelligence and see that the vaccines ARE WORKING and realize that the number of vaccinated with covid is going to be higher simply because there are more vaccinated people. Or, you can listen to the inevitable hyperbolic headline that comes out saying something like "Covid cases among vaccinated jump 60%" or whatever other out of context, clickbait bullshit that they come up with. You can choose to be rational, reasonable, and smart about it, or choose to freak out and/or spread anti-vax bullshit.
