People, and those in the media in particular, suck at risk and math.

Yeah, we get it. Right wingers get off on knowing people who were vaccinated got breakthrough cases of covid. They think it’s proof vaccinations don’t work.

That the person didn’t require hospitalization, ICU, intubation, or die, is proof the vaccination worked. It prevented serious illness. No vaccination is 100% effective, and not vaccinating increases your chances of getting seriously ill, require hospitalization, or die substantially.

That’s why this remains a pandemic among the unvaccinated. Those who are vaccinated are the ones keeping the entire health care system from collapsing in many parts of the country. Omicron appears “mild” only because so many have gotten vaccinated. Delta never went away either.
