I'm just posting this as an FYI so people here are better informed and stop demonizing other people's informed personal choices.
Infections in fully vaccinated people (breakthrough infections) happen in only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with the Delta variant. Moreover, when these infections occur among vaccinated people, they tend to be mild. However, preliminary evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the Delta variant can be infectious and can spread the virus to others.

Let me help you with the reading:
1.
breakthrough infections -- this is not everyone that contacts the virus. You have to understand the medical terminology to understand the point being made. Do you truly know what breakthrough infections are?
2. Given those that fit under #1,...it says with this new variant
can be infectious. Okay. To what degree compared to someone that had a mild infection and would test negative just a couple days later? I can go to the moon,...and I can take something out of the fridge and eat it later. Which one is alot more likely to happen, though?
All "
cans" are not the same. Can is an extremely loose term.
3. You know that the old variants are still out there as well, right? The virus that has killed hundreds of thousands in this country didnt simply dissappear when the delta variant showed up.
If 90% of the country were vaccinated, there'd be no need to go back to some of these old protocols in all likelihood. So you can thank those that refuse to by the masses for this mess.
You obviously do not fully understand what you are reading,...which is why, as I said, it is better left up to scientists and doctors.
They think that guys whom are in close contact and practically breathing on each other every other player would be better off vaccinated, and I happen to agree with them.
