https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/over-40-000-breakthrough-infections-or-covid-cases-in-vaccinated-people-in-kerala-source-2507884 - I think it is time the government started educating people on what the current vaccines can and cannot do. The vaccines as they stand today cannot _prevent_ infection. They cannot also _prevent_ disease, fever, sickness. They can greatly improve the _outcome_, or in other words, reduce mortality, ICU admissions and severity of the disease.
Vaccines that can prevent infection in the nose (https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-outbreak/story/covid-vaccine-prevents-covid-disease-transmission-animals-study-results-1826943-2021-07-12), and then transmission on to others, are under development, but likely won't be widely available till 2021. I am not a scientist, but herd immunity is not an achievable goal till such vaccines are mass manufactured and administered.
Therefore, even after vaccination, people must maintain distance, try and meet in open, well ventilated places as much as possible, mask up, and stop scratching their noses.
Ayyo, when all this is over, I will need therapy.
