Other places still are reporting though, Switzerland has reported cases up to 14th May so far. And I like them as a source because as a country it's been generally more skeptical of the covid vaccines than most, Swissmedic's not an easily tampered with third world trash agency, the population's generally more conservative, and at least from the outside they tend to keep quiet more about globalist bullshit than other Western countries. They do have an indirect financial interest in the Moderna vaccine though, so it's not perfect but I'll take it.
Anyway, Switzerland is reporting 130 breakthrough infections out of ~1,100,000 vaccinated individuals tracked in the last 5 months. They've mostly been only comprehensively vaccinating the elderly and high risk so far, and almost all of those who got still infected were aged 80+ or severely immunocompromised for other reasons. Those aren't numbers that say the vaccine doesn't work, those are numbers that say ~130 people in 1.1 million old and critically frail people have an immune system that sucks. Most of their 80+ demographic is vaccinated now, so that's less than 130 old codgers catching covid out of almost the whole population, which isn't bad at all. There's more teasing numbers to do before laying that firmly at the feet of vaccination, given we're leaving flu season and the covid had already swept through the elderly pretty well before the vaccines rolled out the rate should be dropping anyway, but it dropping that low isn't exactly a bad sign.
The CDC literally stopped reporting breakthrough cases. We have no idea if the injections prevent infection or transmission.
