While the CDC report is still mostly reassuring, there are some troubling implications as well. If I'm reading the numbers right, 18 of the 75 vaccinated residents were infected, with 6 of them being symptomatic.
Also agree (scary, isn't it?). We don't know if it is a 1 off, or a variant, or the beginning of a new set of numbers from the CDC. I am pretty sure that 5318/85 million won't hold---there will be more breakthrough cases as time goes on. After all, the "real world" number from the CDC is 0.008%, but the research number during the trials was 5%----that's about a 3 order of magnitude difference so something "seems" fishy.
