Or live your life in a bomb shelter???? If not, why are you concerned that a vaccinated person will pass COVID to you. Plus, if you are vaccinated, the chances are now 0.008% x 0.008%, or is that not zero either?

Well, first off 1 in 13,000 definitely is a small percentage, but
not irrelevant. Second, the quote from the CDC said, "
It is important to note that reported vaccine breakthrough cases will represent an undercount." so that's not exactly a number you can bank on at the moment.
Then the NASA thing - I was going to pass on that post, but since you brought it up... That's a ludicrous number: it implies that 1 in 3000 people will be hit (or
have been hit!
) by a meteorite during their lifetime???
That's really funny since, as of 2016, there's only ONE person confirmed to have been struck by a meteorite in
history, according to National Geographic. (Warning: you may have to create an account to view the article.)

And that's not crap either.
Unlike the "0.008% x 0.008%" idea, which is not really founded in math, science or facts, just throwing around some numbers.
