So, simple math (theoretical)
- every is vaccinated, but in 5% of the people the vaccine doesn't work
- someone in the 5% group gets Covid and somehow manages to give it to someone else in the 5% group (we're already getting into the unlikely field here)
- of those that catch Covid, a great percentage are asymptomatic and don't know they even have Covid - so outbreaks in vaccinated people are about as common as one of us winning the Powerball lottery

And here is some more food for thought that I don't believe has been studied:
To draw an analogy to recombinant hepatitis B vaccine, which is also about 95% effective----when a person who was in the 5% that did not acquire immunity gets re-vaccinated, about 90% of them acquire immunity. Would make an interesting COVID study, could probably get a few million in federal grant $$$.
