selfishness. Customer just walked in where I work, right into the middle of a group of us, and he's all stopped up and congested. Somebody said, "Dang, you sound horrible, like you're sick". His reply? "Don't worry, it's not covid, I've had my shots" and he kept right on talking, and I got the #### outta there, amazed as everybody else just stood there face to face with this guy as he continued to ramble. We really do have a major stupidity problem in America.

the vaccine offers little protection against Delta covid

this seems to be becoming clear no matter what the media tells us. In NC anyway they do not track whether you have been vaccinated when you come back covid positive. Maybe someone is doing some sampling somewhere, but it seems like such as easy thing to track, I don't know why they don't.

You're wrong when you say "little protection" because......

the overwhelming majority of people in hospitals now and dying from Delta COVID are unvaccinated people. It's true that the vaccines over less protection for catching the Delta variant but they still offer a much better chance of not being hospitalized and dying.
I'll never understand why there are people who won't get vaccinated. The vaccines offer a helll of a lot more insurance against getting badly sick/dying that not getting vaccinated.

I'm absolutely right about the vaccine and protection

against getting covid. This is becoming obvious. I too do not understand why anyone would not get the vaccine because it does do a good job protecting against hospitalization and death, but its not the unvaccinated that are spreading the disease right now.
5 out of 6 people in one day got sick at my office. All 6 were vaccinated. We were all sick within a couple days. All were symptomatic. The 6th also had symptoms but tested negative.
This is the reason it is blowing up. People think that they are vaccinated and therefor unlikely to catch covid. Then they get a little sinus infection and think its just a sinus infection like I get with allergies then they spread it around before the symptoms hit hard in a couple more days.

Blaming vaccinated people for spreading COVID is ridiculous.

It's also not based on any science whatsoever.

I'm 100% in favor of vaccinations and I've had mine, but I do think there's some logic in his point that many people with vaccines assume they can't catch it and therefore are less likely to associate symptoms with Covid and could instead assume their symptoms are due to something else such as allergies or a cold. This could lead to additional spreading as a result.
Now, as someone who suffers from allergies I can certainly understand how those symptoms can easily be from something other than Covid, but I think before the vaccines people were more careful to assume they may have Covid whenever they had any of those symptoms. I'm not saying that's the case for all vaccinated people or even most of them, but I can certainly see where it would be for a certain percentage.

correct to point out that with the delta variant, fully vaccinated people are now getting sick with and spreading covid. People should be fully aware of that at this point, and behave accordingly, that's all. I am fully vaccinated. I encourage everybody who can to get vaccinated; I think people are foolish not to, but that's beside the point.

isn't 100% effective in keeping you from getting or spreading covid, even though it does help, and appears to greatly lessen the severity of the infection. Yes, you could be asymptomatic and still spread it, and the only way to avoid that would be a total lockdown, which I oppose and isn't going to happen anyway. But you'd think people with actual covid symptoms would have enough common sense and concern for others to know they could be infected and spreading it to others.

So I got a FREE rapid test.

Daughter of (no pigs) got it after meeting up with friends

for drinks and finding out that 2 of them had "colds". She distanced herself as soon as she could and as much as possible. Both of the other women tested positive the next day, my daughter a few days later. 12 people at her workplace tested positive that week after that. Because they just had colds.

and inconsiderate.
I used to think that people were generally good, and that if left alone they would do the right thing. This pandemic has taught me otherwise.

"In NC they do not track whether you are vaccinated or not"

This is a lie. To get COVID tested ANYWHERE, they ask if you have had the vaccine, which one, and how many doses. My sisters entire family, minus her, all got COVID three weeks ago. My sister was contacted by the CDC as soon as their positive result returned and when they were released from quarantine.
Where does she live? North Carolina. Stop spreading lies.

You probably took an at home test because every single test site I have been to since COVID started has asked my vaccination status once vaccines were rolled out.

hand you a swab and you hand it back sealed in a tube with your name on it.
Why is this data not published? It seems like it might be useful information, far more useful than gender or ethnicity or race.
Breakthrough cases are not breakthrough this should be becoming obvious to most people soon.

the US data is similar but not being reported. Cases used to be important, now its only hospitalizations and death that are important. It should be really easy to find out the percentage of new cases that are vaccinated people, but its not. It should be as easy to report as it is ethnicity or gender or age or race, but nobody seems to care enough to report the actual statistics.
