So......why bother to count those breakthrough cases at all? The purpose of our vaccines was always to minimize the symptoms of Covid and prevent death. I do understand the reason for the CDC to stop counting breakthrough cases unless those cases result in hospitalization and death. Those are the cases the vaccine failed to do what it was supposed to do. Those are the cases that need to be counted.

All my opinion.
Then we were lied to. Here's what the CDC was saying early on about the vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are effective
COVID 19-vaccines are effective. They can keep you from getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19

Agree that the breakthrough hospitalizations and deaths are more important. I'm suspicious, however, why it's not counting other breakthrough cases. Isn't it the CDC's business to track and record statistics?
