Many are asking: “What’s the point in getting vaccinated if people are getting COVID-19 anyway?” This is an emerging mindset among the unvaccinated, since reports of so-called “breakthrough infections” have become more frequent. But there’s a difference between testing positive and getting sick. Vaccines are largely effective at preventing severe illness and death by creating antibodies that help fight the virus once it enters your body. They do NOT make you immune from the virus. And recent studies show that most COVID cases in vaccinated people are mild — if a vaccinated person develops symptoms at all. Breakthrough infections should not be taken to mean vaccines don’t work; but they SHOULD be taken as even more reason to get that shot in your arm. Because if everyone was vaccinated, there would be far less reason for the virus to spread, and far fewer people for it to spread between.

Velshi: Breakthrough Infections Do Not Mean Vaccines Don’t Work
If people wish to get this injection, fine. If people don’t wish to get this injection, fine.
I wish people thought rationally as you do. I hate that this decision is slowly becoming a class issue…
God i wish you lived during polio……. i would love to see you and Tony and Damian all enjoying life vaccination free w/ all that great polio……. you guys would just love it.
@P K did you just equate polio with covid?🤣🤣🤣
@Joe Hiden Biden the madman did
@P K Polio is real.
It looks to me like the vaccinated are getting sick. Just like in 1918.
exactly.. all according to plan
My supervisor took the vaccine few months ago and just a couple days ago she got severe covid with high fever
Why no reports on the peoples who already had covid without the vaccine and if they got covid a second time they will have less severe symptoms too. If vaccinated or unvaccinated can still spread covid, there is no need to exalt the vaccine.
Take my word for it🤣🤣
I rather get my medical information from a christian high school dropout.
“Thanks for watching msnbc brought to you by moderna”
O now since there’s a vaccine, testing positive and being sick are two totally different things again lmao. We’ve been saying that for 18 months
Imagine finding a oasis in the middle of the desert with a sign that says, ‘drink at your own risks’ or drinking from your own mostly full canteen.
I never thought that it would be possible to squeeze 15 pounds of pure HS into a segment of just 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Man, was I wrong!
You can not put physical objects into a certain amount of time
If you pay close attention it almost seems like a paid advertisement.
Anyone required to get the vaccine should get that in writing so they can take legal action later against employers and organizations.
Yes! Brother yes! You may not be able to sue the jab manufacturers, but you can sue your employer if you have any bad side effects, after all they threatened you with losing your job if you didn’t get it.
I don’t remember seeing everyone getting polio after the polio vaccine…..
That’s because polio had already declined by the time the vaccine was introduced.
Breakthrough cases are proving my point
“We just need two weeks to flatten the curve”
“Hey, it’ll take two weeks to flatten the curve.”
Right? What was Trump thinking? He should have listened to Fauci instead of trying to use his own simple mind.
@bnice7 but I mean what did you except from trump?
“Magic suit of armor like a superhero suit” who tf is this dude to be patronizing us 😂😂😂
Seriously.
You could google it. But that would require looking into something.
@Horizon Eyes Still, this guy knows exactly what he’s doing by using that sort of language. He equates being unvaccinated to being poorly educated therefore chooses to speak to that group like children
@ITS IN THE DOCUMENTS I’ve noticed (The Alex Jones was right tip jar) is flowing over.
@ITS IN THE DOCUMENTS Reminds me of Fox News using “aggressive language”, because they know their audience is addicted to hate and outrage…
“No one ever said the vaccine would make us immune” excuse me?
We are reaching propaganda levels never seen before.
Yes, when it comes to taking an unapproved shot, it’s about me.
I only get vaccines that are fully approved by the FDA. If I wanted to be a part of a clinical study, I would sign up for one. That seems reasonable.
Reasonable. I’m with ya.
The drug companies got it made. Billions in tax payer money. No paying for volunteers and zero accountability.
