You can't have your cake and eat it too, cw. Not saying you are, but the logic behind the breakout cases being the reason for not getting vaccinated, it's not sound.

Breakout cases are a small risk to vaccinated public. Do they happen? Yep, though at a fairly small percentage. Those numbers will rise as the efficacy of the original round of vaccines wanes. But more importantly than being infected, is being protected from hospitalization or serious illness. That's why I quantified with
small in regards to the risk.
I don't mind getting sick, it happens all the time with kids in school, but I want to be able to manage it at home like any other mild illness.
I didn't say breakout cases were reasoning to not be vaccinated, but rather the unsurety regarding the safety (short term or long term) of the vaccines is an understandable concern some people have. We may not agree with their conclusion regarding the data, but after children can be vaccinated, unvaccinated individuals will pose little threat of
serious illness. It will be akin to those who do not opt for the flu shot at that point. At least, that is, if the data being reported is accurate. <<< But that's a whole other discussion. LoL
