If you are in that 5% who gets Covid after being vaccinated, then - you can "still get Covid, but it just won't be as bad."

I'm not sure how that's a bad thing. Sounds like a vaccine that's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Reduce risk, and if you are unfortunate enough to beat the odds and get sick anyway, it reduces the severity.
95% is Pfizer’s stated effective rate. That’s where the 5% comes from… The CDC states a breakthrough rate of .007%. Yet it is becoming more apparent that the actual breakthrough rate is much higher. So now the narrative has changed from - if you’re fully vaccinated you can’t get Covid, to - well yeah, you can still get it, but it won’t be as bad…
We are still learning about these vaccines, but that’s not uncommon during a trial…
