Even if 100% of people are vaccinated you can still get Covid, you can still get long Covid, you can still end up hospitalized, and you can still die from it. The vaccine does not stop transmission. All it does is improve your odds of not being severely sick.

That’s it. It is not a guarantee of anything.

The CDC changed the criteria for reporting vaccinated cases. If you’re vaccinated, get 10 other vaccinated people seriously sick, they will count this as zero cases as long as no one is hospitalized. If one of those people get 2 unvaccinated people who have mild cases sick, they will now count it as 2 cases. They only count hospitalization among the vaccinated as a positive case now. They are not accurately reporting the true numbers, the numbers are much worse than what they’re reporting because they’re not counting all the actual breakthrough cases. Meaning the vaccinated are spreading the virus but they’re just not counting it or reporting it accurately.

When you do crooked math and have a nonsense criteria for tracking cases, and you only count the unvaccinated cases without any classification of severity it is not accurate to report that only unvaccinated people are the ones testing positive because they’re literally not counting vaccinated cases unless it results in hospitalization. Until they count all cases the same regardless of vaccine status we can’t trust stories or numbers that only blame unvaccinated people as long as they aren’t accurately reporting breakthrough cases. It’s actually much worse, and there’s actually way more breakthrough cases they aren’t reporting.

As far as we know there’s hundreds or thousands of vaccinated people who are positive and spreading the virus but they aren’t reporting it. So this isn’t a vaccinated vs. unvaccinated debate, this is a why the fuck are they not counting breakthrough cases accurately situation? Why don’t they report severity?

Unfortunately the reality is the vaccine doesn’t really change much. If you’re vaccinated all you did was lower your risk of severe illness, you’re not actually protecting others, the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission. Everyone can still get sick. You can still get long Covid, and you can still die even if you’re vaccinated. If you actually want to prevent the worst outcomes of Covid research the best treatment methods because you’re still going to potentially need treatment even if you’re vaccinated. Our best hope is not the vaccines, it’s a cure, which honestly we already have but for political reasons it’s not being used.
