    Since the October update of breakthrough cases, 30% of the 117,495 new COVID cases statewide were among the fully vaccinated with the rest a mix of lesser statuses. Fully vaccinated includes only those two weeks beyond the final dose.

    You know - I have seen a number of vaccinators on television doing the "flick the syringe" thing with their fingernails before they vaccinate (standard practice to get rid of air bubbles). I heard very early on that the Pfizer was so fragile that if you did this the vaccine was destroyed and rendered useless. Perhaps many people have not been fully vaccinated by their vaccinator using this practice?
