I get it. It makes those folks who have refused the vaccine feel good about themselves to be able to say that vaccinated people can infect others too. I do get it. LOL.

The number of breakthrough cases are increasing rapidly with the Delta variant. Those with breakthrough cases have the same viral loads as those who are unvaccinated. So previously vaccinated individuals can spread the virus as readily as those who were not vaccinated. The CDC conveniently stopped counting breakthrough cases, but other countries have continued to count. And those case numbers are exponentially higher than the CDC had been reporting months ago.
