Science Can’t Keep Up With Virus, Creating Worry. Anecdotes tell us what the data can’t: Vaccinated people appear to be getting the coronavirus at a surprisingly high rate. And now, there’s growing concern that vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought.

Let's look at actual data, shall we?

Hospitals in my local county:

Total Covid patients: 1037

Unvaccinated patients: 963 92.8%

Partially vaccinated patients: 40 3.8%

Fully vaccinated patients: 34 3.2%

Total admissions up 475% over baseline numbers from previous years.

I'll take my chances with the vaccine, thank you very much.

How many "covid patients" tested positive after being admitted for something else? How many were double checked for the other things the test turns positive for, like the flu? How do these stats compare with the general population?

Without knowing that, it's useless. Yet the overall rate is the only thing I can find.

Gonna need a citation for that.
