The issue nobody wants to talk about is how many vaccinated people have/had Covid but were asymptomatic or had such mild symptoms that they thought nothing of it? Expecting people to test & quarantine for 2 weeks every time they have a slight cough or a low fever is a bit much. People just aren't going to do that, especially the low income folks who are barely scraping by as it is. Despite a 55%+ vaccination rate we are seeing the same kind of numbers as we saw with a 0% vaccination rate. It cannot just be the unvaxxed spreading Covid.
When 30%+ of vaccinated people still catch Covid to the point of requiring testing & a medical diagnosis, then its time to stop calling them breakthrough cases.
Covid is NEVER going away and this is our new reality... No amount of masking/vaxxing/mandating is going to change this.

Therapeutics are more expensive than vaccinations. Because the person choosing to go the route of therapeutics seldom covers the costs... it becomes socialism at its finest.
That is why insurance companies have been promoting the flu vaccine for decades... it cost less than other options.
Collectively, we will feel this in our medical insurance premiums (mine went up 25%), our property taxes - as we have to cover all those county and municipal employees medical premiums, and less directly in business taxes as the State must cover their employees medical premiums, Medicaid, and aid to hospitals for those that cannot afford - and I use that term very loosely - to pay.
