I have not heard an intelligent argument for why we continue to be infected by this virus when some of us are triple vaccinated now. I am aware that vaccines do not provide full protection against contracting the virus however at the rate that I am seeing breakout cases it seems to me that they offer little to no protection. I understand that up to 90% of us will not have a case severe enough to put us in the hospital if we are vaccinated and booster but I am seeing lots of people who are fully vaccinated getting extremely sick. Don’t get me wrong I’m not against vaccines but it seems to me that they provide an excuse for people to get back to their normal life which is why we are where we are. From here on out I am going to assume that the vaccine cocktail of three shots offers zero protection against contracting the virus.
