I expect a milder course of disease since I’m vaccinated. “COVID-19 vaccines do an enormous amount of good. “We’re still at risk of getting sick, and we’re still at risk of infecting others,” he said. Massie even went on to contend that “governments and businesses should consider bringing back masking requirements, even for vaccinated people.” It’s not clear if our group got sick because of a particularly virulent variant, because the vaccine is wearing off or for some other reason. Any of us could infect others, apparently including other vaccinated people. “But that means that outbreaks like ours will fly under the radar. “The CDC announced in May that it was only going to collect data on breakthrough infections that led to hospitalization or death, which are fortunately rare,” he continued. Still, Massie said that he would like “state and local health departments and the CDC … do a better job collecting and reporting data on breakthrough infections.” “There will be a small percentage of fully vaccinated people who still get sick, are hospitalized, or die from COVID-19,” the CDC says on its website.

The CDC has contended that these breakthrough cases are expected because no vaccine is 100 percent effective. As of July 26, the CDC noted that more than one hundred sixty-three million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated-and there have been less than 6,600 breakthrough infections, including about 1,260 deaths.
