 You will know, or possibly be, someone who gets COVID-19 after a vaccine. Here's what to expect, according to 2 people with breakthrough cases.

    Breakthrough cases will become more common as the more transmissible Delta variant keeps spreading.
    But most disease experts still expect COVID-19 to be milder in vaccinated people.
    Two young people who got sick after they were vaccinated described how their symptoms progressed.
   

Breakthrough infections, or COVID-19 cases diagnosed after someone is fully immunized, were supposed to be rare - at least that's what a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested in May. At the time, data indicated that just 0.01% of vaccinated Americans got a breakthrough case from January to April.

But that was before the more transmissible Delta variant became the dominant strain in the US.

The share of breakthrough infections also inevitably rises as more people get vaccinated - though it's hard to know how many of these cases occurred since the CDC report came out. The agency stopped tracking asymptomatic, mild, or moderate breakthrough cases on May 1.

Though the current vaccines still protect against Delta, the chances that you'll know someone with a breakthrough case, or develop one yourself, are higher than they've ever been.

But most disease experts still expect COVID-19 to be milder in vaccinated people, regardless of the variant.

159 Dead, 593 Hospitalized in Illinois Breakthrough COVID Cases
Published July 21, 2021   • Updated on July 21, 2021 at 12:07 pm   

More than 150 people have died and nearly 600 have been hospitalized in Illinois due to COVID-19 in "breakthrough" cases after they were fully vaccinated, according to state health officials.

According to data updated Wednesday by the Illinois Department of Public Health, 159 people in Illinois have died due to COVID-19 or complications after being fully vaccinated. That figure equates to 2.3% of COVID-19 deaths in the state since Jan. 1, officials said.

At least 593 fully vaccinated people have been hospitalized in Illinois, IDPH said. The state only reports breakthrough infections among those who have been hospitalized or died, following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, IDPH said.  ... NBC Chicago

They've already shifted the goalposts from "getting vaccinated will keep you from getting the virus" to "getting vaccinated will lessen your symptoms when you get the virus". 

So I guess that vaccine wasn't 95% percent effective at preventing infection after all?  What a surprise.
