Vaccinated are less likely to need hospitalization or DIE from breakthrough COVID. Vaccine not 100% protection, and was never advertised as such. But it is the best defense we have at this time.
See below. You are redundant.
I heard it explained by the docs. Vaccinated and getting covid can happen but it is less common and fortunately less intense results. It’s a good reminder to get vaccinated. Best of luck for a quick recovery.
