So, assuming your doctor has an average practice of 2000 patients and half of them were fully vaccinated (reasonable assumptions), he would have had 10/1000 contract COVID after vaccination (50 times the national rate) and 2/1000 die (0.2% or 1000 times the national rate). Something doesn't sound right at all.
The latest CDC number show percentages are now a little higher. 139 million fully vaccinated, 3,459 breakthrough hospitalizations with 603 deaths.
