My bet: you know somebody who has been vaccinated and then tested positive for covid.
Even if not, you must have heard stories about public figures who have been victims of these are so-called “breakthrough infections”, e.g. Justice Kavanaugh, who tested positive last week despite being fully vaccinated.
Reasonable to ask: “What the hell is going on”.

That’s the essence of a direct question that CNBC’s Sarah Eisen posed to our nation’s chief political-scientist Anthony Fauci.
For openers, Eisen disclosed that she was recently infected with covid despite being fully vaccinated … as were 2 of her fully-vaccinated family members … and her 2 unvaccinated children.
Then, Eisen pointed out that, contrary to her family’s experience, the CDC website declares:
“The greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated people who are much more likely to get infected, and therefore transmit the virus.
Fully vaccinated people get COVID-19 (known as breakthrough infections) far less often than unvaccinated people.”
Then she intimated that the CDC was “too casual” about breakthrough infections … and asked pointedly if the CDC had data to support the conclusion that COVID breakthrough infections are rare.
Fauci’s answer: “They’re working on it”:
Well in the past the CDC has not tracked real or asymptomatic infections.
The CDC is now scrambling to change this.
There are studies being done that would give the kind of breakthrough infections data you’re talking about.
English translation: No they don’t have the data.
Eisen pounced:
“How can the CDC keep saying COVID breakthrough infections are rare if they have no data? The bottom line is that we can still get it and transmit it, right?”
Flustered, Fauci just started shuffling shells around the table to play out the interview clock…
Oh my.
