they can't answer 1 & 3 because they quit counting breakthrough cases.

Vaccine breakthrough cases are expected. COVID-19 vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control; however, no vaccine is 100% effective at preventing illness. Some fully vaccinated people will get sick, and some will even be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. However, there is evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe for those who are vaccinated and still get sick. The risk of infection, hospitalization, and death are all much lower in vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated.
More than 176 million people in the United States have been fully vaccinated as of September 7, 2021. CDC is monitoring these cases among vaccinated persons and evaluating trends in order to better understand who is at risk for severe COVID-19 following vaccine breakthrough infection. Vaccinated people have also experienced asymptomatic infections.
Current data suggest that COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States offer protection against most SARS-CoV-2 variants circulating in the United States.
What CDC is doing
CDC is leading multiple vaccine effectiveness studies and monitoring vaccine breakthroughs from a network of states to understand how COVID-19 vaccines are working and to identify patterns or trends in:
Patients’ characteristics, such as age or underlying medical conditions
The specific vaccine that patients received
Which SARS-CoV-2 variants are causing the infection
Developing a data access and management system for reporting COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases
CDC developed a national COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough REDCap database where designated state health department investigators can enter, store, and manage data for cases in their jurisdiction. State health departments have full access to data for cases reported from their jurisdiction.
State health departments voluntarily report vaccine breakthrough cases to CDC. On May 1, 2021, after collecting data on thousands of vaccine breakthrough infections, CDC changed the focus of how it uses data from this reporting system. One of the strengths of this system is collecting data on severe cases of vaccine breakthrough COVID-19 since it is likely that most of these types of vaccine breakthrough cases seek medical care and are diagnosed and reported as a COVID-19 case. CDC relies on a variety of additional approaches to comprehensively monitor vaccine impact. Previous data on all vaccine breakthrough cases reported to CDC from January–April 2021 are available.
Give me a break. This hysteria against vaccinations is getting out of hand.
Thank God we did not have the internet when Polio and Small Pox vaccines were administered. We would still be plagued by both diseases still.

Anto-vaccination/variolation has existed as long as they have existed. When variolation reached Boston, it was controversial. Cotton Mather was a great supporter and he was influential.
