I see a lot of people arguing both sides that like to use anecdotal data to prove their point. Look at tim it’s friend post. It shouldn’t be good in one case and not the other.
And while it may be rare, it’s true that breakthrough cases are happening. Maybe the vaccines become less effective over time, I don’t know.
But when someone cites breakthrough cases as a foundation for their view, does it really make you so mad that you can’t at least stop and point to the most current data? You say “everyone” has access to all this data. I’d say you live in a slice of the community where that is truer than in many others.

Yes I'm angry. I know people who have died from COVID. And like many it's had direct impacts to my life.
Yes people are using anecdotal on both side but the anti vax side ONLY has this and misinformation.
And yes there are breakthrough cases. I've never said otherwise.
But there are MOUNDS of data supporting getting vaccines. And what I see in this thread are some people who are deliberating ignoring actual data and deliberating spreading information.
In my opinion using facts and information has clearly only been so effective - which is why I'm in favor of vaccine passports so there are consequences to choosing not to get the vaccine (if you are able to).
Which takes us back to where this started. If you want to go to a hockey game - you should have to get a vaccine. Don't want a vaccine? Cool. You shouldn't get to then partake in that type of event.
