more and more public figures who are vaccinated getting COVID anyway. Makes you wonder if non public people are infected at this same rate?
Happy Day
So?

Seems like a lot of people that have been vaccinated are now getting the virus. Now I have more doubts than ever about it.

About 3 weeks left on the "vaccinated people are the same as unvaccinated people" zombie lie.
You guys should be prepping for new made up stuff. Not much time left to use that one.
Blacklabel
According to that link only half of the states even report.
just very strange that hundreds of random public figures have breakthrough cases but no one else?

Nope, you're wrong in all counts. It's ticked up in all 50 states and all demographics since people become more concerned about the Delta variant:

What's something amiss is the new Delta variant that's more dangerous since it spreads faster than previous version of the virus. That's why people gotta stop creating new variants; that's why people gotta stop spreading the virus
When new variants are created, that's one more difference step away from the original virus. As more and more variants are created, that's more and more different from the original virus
Now think back: the vaccines were created when there was only the original virus - they were created to train your immunity to recognize the original virus. So the more and more different the new variants are, the less and less likely your immunity will recognize the new variants
Again, that's why people gotta stop creating new variants; that's why people gotta stop spreading the virus
Now, some protection is always better than no protection at all. Thus, vaccinated people whose immunity still somewhat recognizes the new variants, is always better than unvaccinated people whose immunity don't recognize the new variants at all
And that folks, is how biology works. It's not magic mumbo-jumbo

Apparently some pro-vax nutter was stirring up the crowds in Alabama last night.
Got roundly booed for his efforts.

No, the vaccines work, but of course only within the functional span they have been designed for and within their efficacy percentage range.

I wish we could top reading their lies in three weeks,, but as long as media outlets publish zombie lies, the lies will continue to be spread.
The global far right, aided by state sponsored flamers and trolls from authoritarian states like China, Russia, Turkey, Iran and other nations use cyberwarfare tactics and have long been able to get a range of media, including their own, to help spread their lies as those states fan flames in democratic nations.

600K+ dead. If we were all magically vaccinated January 2020, only 30K would have died.
The vaccines work.
Some people will still get sick.
Some people will still die.
Most people ~98% will not, if they are vaccinated.
People who don't have a medical reason for not getting vaccinated are afraid of the wrong thing. Humans are bad to picking between the more likely ways to be harmed.
My point is. Not being vaccinated is foolish at this point and has been for 3 months. It isn't about freedom. It is about taking a clear, safe, step, to protect yourself and your family and your neighbors and your country.

The alt right, QGOP and others in white supremacist movements around the globe' play what they call 'race cards' in their ongoing attempts to fan flames and further divide peoples.

doesnt change the fact that the majority of Black Americans are unvaccinated.
So any restrictions on entrance or freedom of movement will disproportionately exclude people of color from being able to be part of society. (which used to be called "segregation")
Strangerland
The right loves to blame minorities to take the focus off themselves. It works towards their culture wars.
And they think they're any different than the radical left.

60% of Black Americans remain unvaccinated in the whole country
We don't know the % unvaccinated Black Americans in San Francisco
The % unvaccinated Black Americans is heavily weighted among the southern US states
