> So far, everything we've tried to protect people from COVID has only delayed the inevitable... You mean except for the vaccines...

  No, I very specifically mean including the vaccines. Breakthrough COVID exists and isn't at all uncommon. (Remember, if this weren't the case, then there'd be no reason for vaccinated people to have to wear masks anymore.)

    >Breakthrough COVID exists and isn't at all uncommon. The difference between a "breakthrough COVID" case in a vaccinated person and a COVID infection in an unvaccinated person is a complete elimination in the risk of death and greatly reduced chances of severe illness and long-term disability. It's VERY preferable to be vaccinated.

      > a complete elimination in the risk of death It sounds like you're saying that nobody has ever died from COVID after being fully vaccinated against it, which isn't true.
