Same in the UK.

~15% or so, were fully vaccinated, when they got infected and sick.
If you count the ones that only had like 1 jab as well, its probably like 30-40% of the new infections, are people vaccinated.

Makes you wonder if even had you reached 100% vaccinated rates, would the virus still go away? or would it just stay around forever?

I am more interested in long Covid. If our lungs still get destroyed even while vaccinated... oh boy. A proper quarantine would be in order.

Long covid is like 3-5% or something? of all new infections.
So if you get 1million new infections, your gonna end up with 300,000-500,000 people with bad lungs after.

Im not sure if the vaccines actually protect, against that.
I know less people get really sick (less people hospitalised + incubated), when vaccinated, and less people go on to die.
However I dont think it actually protects against "long lasting covid" effects, like bad lungs afterwards.

You can be fully vaccinated, and still get screwed over by covid.
