But I disagree that the breakthrough rate is 60%---It is about 1000x less than that (so far). Any source for that 60% number? (And not that one off from P-town that was reported as 74% of the new cases were vaccinated)
I read it several places, so I had to track it down again. Here's one.


Delta variant: Pfizer Covid vaccine 39% effective in Israel, prevents severe illness

I read somewhere else that had a nice breakdown by time of Vaccination over time and more recent vaxers had better protection. I'll try to find it again.
