Only the children were unvaccinated and she herself ran a pretty good fever, headache, body aches and a cough that has lingered. I didn’t hear if her sense of taste was affected. One of the patients is immunocompromised and is struggling even though vaccinated.

Also, what about the fellow poster on here who was vaccinated, got covid, was hospitalized and may have permanent lung damage? Why are we hearing about these “breakthrough cases” if all is well with the vaccinated and they only spread a weak version?
Yes, a point was missed, but not by me. Again, the vaccinated can spread the virus, but RARELY. How rare---breakthrough cases for the original virus was 0.07%. That's breakthrough----the chances of someone contracting the virus FROM that breakthrough case is much lower. Since that number was last published by the CDC in May, they have stopped counting breakthrough cases, so we don't have numbers for the delta variant, but empirically it is thought to be much lower than the unvaccinated.
An anecdotal case as was described proves absolutely nothing.
