Glad that your wife is doing better.
I know it seems like many people who got vaccinated are getting COVID and are reported in the press. The reporting skews things as we don't see the vaccinated people who were also exposed and NOT infected.
The only way we get this information is through cohort studies. This is where all people (both vaccinated and unvaccinated) in a population are routinely tested. Stats can be developed to compare relative infection rates and protective effects of the vaccine. These are being done and stats still show amazing protection from the vaccines. Certainly not as effective with Delta as with the original wild strain and also with waning immunity as time from vaccination lengthen.
The bottom line is that as long as this thing is being spread like it is now, we're all at risk. The only way to tamp this thing down is to vaccinate more people and continue to take public health measures to mitigate spread.
It appears with the Delta variance that more people are getting vaccinated.
We started wearing our mask again when in public places.
Certain venues are starting to require proof of vaccination now or a negative test recently to enter here in Ohio.
