When this whole thing started, I said to my work colleagues that I hoped we'd all be protected from the arrogant and the ignorant. That statement still holds true 18 months into this "fun". And, despite all evidence to the contrary, the arrogant and the ignorant keep spouting their nonsense.

It's the visceral reactions that I don't get...the whole "I won't let the government tell me what to do." For pity's sake, the government tell you to wear a seatbelt, obey posted speed limits etc. and yet I don't see people jumping up and down saying we should scrap the rules of the road. Imagine how much fun flying would be if pilots suddenly decided they were no longer going to listen to ATC because they didn't want to obey orders from a government (FAA in the case of the US) official?

For pity's sake, this isn't a conspiracy. Governments are not using the vaccine to suppress the people. They're actually trying to get our world back to a more normal state of affairs. And yet the anti-vax mob are still shouting from the rooftops. Oh how I wish that natural selection would kick in hard for all of them. I'm sick of their whining.

Vaccine breakthrough cases as of Monday, 27 Sep 2021
Total cases: 28,047
Total hospitalized: 1,495
Total Fatal cases: 160
A vaccine breakthrough infection is detection of SARS CoV-2 in a Minnesota patient sample that was collected 14 or more days after they have completed all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. These cases have not had a previous positive COVID-19 result. https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/stats/vbt.html

So how is all this travel and mixing at sporting events and disregard for Covid working out for you America?

We have states that had No hospitalizations, until thousands showed up to protest Lockdowns and restrictions.
Now in a week, four wards are FULL, hospitals are having trouble coping. Along with new deaths and still people piss and moan.

Our good friend just had funeral services for her 80 year old father, only two years my senior. In a retirement home, had both shots, a contract worker who was positive worked ONE F'n day. Less than a week later Kevin passed away........ So kiss my tiny A$$ all you who care less and spread it around.
 
While it appears that the Delta wave is subsiding nationwide, Minnesota is still on the upswing. So far, four of my siblings have gotten Covid, and everyone in their households as well. All have recovered. Only one severe case, resulting in pneumonia and a blood clot in the lung (recovered). Delta seems not concerned with vaccine status, one vaxxed sibling infected another vaxxed sibling's entire household.

Minnesota Update 4 October 2021

In general Minnesota is doing pretty well. We are currently in the middle of a spike in cases that started in late-August. We have been averaging ~2,000 new case per day over the last few weeks, but we appear to have leveled out. It may be too early to say though.

The new case, hospitalization, and death demographic trend continues:

(temporary edit to check data)

Slightly more than 1% of fully vaccinated people are catching COVID-19. There have been 32,796 breakthrough* cases since the start of the vaccination program in late-December 2020, out of 3,178,401 fully vaccinated people. The breakthrough cases among the fully vaccinated continue to be far less likely to require hospitalization and/or die, than cases among the unvaccinated.

*A breakthrough case is when the case presents after at least 14 days have passed since a person completed their COVID-19 vaccination series.

Minnesota vaccine status as of Monday, 4 October
58.1% of all residents fully vaccinated, additionally 1.3% have received their first dose.
68.8% of all eligible residents (age 12+) fully vaccinated, 3.6% partially vaccinated.
New breakthrough cases since last week: 4749
New hospitalizations among breakthrough cases: 195
New deaths among breakthrough cases: 25

Total new cases since previous week (as of 30 Sep 2021)
New cases: 16,774 (cumulative 711,094)
New hospitalizations: 687 (cumulative 38,031)
Newly reported deaths: 104 (cumulative 8153)

28% of new cases last week were breakthrough cases.
28% of new hospitalizations were breakthrough cases.
24% of new deaths were breakthrough cases.
 
Does not matter how the numbers are spun, or what narrative is being pushed. No vaccine is 100%. No one said there would not be any breakthrough cases. Data, science, and facts, however, show that those who are vaccinated are less likely to have severe covid or die.

There is one group of people in this country (and I assume worldwide as well), whose self righteous selfishness are keeping us in this pandemic. It's not about the vaccine though (I firmly believe in the choice to or not to), its more about their behavior during the pandemic. I'm a firm believer in Karma, and everything comes back around. I just hope for them, it does not end badly.
 
Hey Greg Boeser,

Please, would you provide the link for the above data on % of new cases being breakthrough cases. I went over the Minnesota Department of Health website and I could not find the data you listed, ie:

"28% of new cases last week were breakthrough cases.
28% of new hospitalizations were breakthrough cases.
24% of new deaths were breakthrough cases."

Not saying it is wrong, just that I could not find it on the MDH website.
 
I compared the change in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths overall from the 23 Sep 2021 weekly report to the 30 Sep 2021 weekly report, and the change in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths from the vaccine breakthrough report of 27 Sep 2021 and 4 Oct 2021. It's not a perfect overlap, but compares the most recent reported data. From these comparisons one can see that vaccinated people are about 3.5 times less likely to contract covid, or be hospitalized, than an unvaccinated person, and 4 times less likely to die from it. If I'm doing my math right.
Roughly 60% of the population is fully vaccinated, 40% is less than fully vaccinated.
 
An interesting announcement from the last week here in Ontario (Canada):

Ontario is issuing a "preferential recommendation" of the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, over the Moderna vaccine, for adults between the ages of 18 and 24.
This is due to an increase in the "very rare" heart condition pericarditis/myocarditis, following administration of the Moderna vaccine, particularly among males in that age group.
"The majority of reported cases have been mild with individuals recovering quickly, normally with anti-inflammatory medication," the statement from Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, reads. "Symptoms have typically been reported to start within one week after vaccination, more commonly after the second dose."
"We have to have accountability to the public and I think the public deserves to know the facts on the risks that we've identified in Ontario," Dr. Moore said.

Did you guys see anything similar in other regions, countries, continents?
BTW I already got Moderna X 2, but I'm far beyond 24.

P.S. An Washington Post article with some questions and answers about Pfizer and Moderna: In secret vaccine contracts with governments, Pfizer took hard line in push for profit.

I think they have reported this in several countries. If I recall correctly though it was still very rare. I might be mistaken there.
