Can I still get long-term COVID-19 symptoms if I’m infected after vaccination?

With the delta variant. Fueling outbreaks nationwide. President Biden is hitting a key vaccine goal tonight. Almost one month late. I would say it's a significant step that we have hit 70% 70% of adults in the US have now received at least one shot. A milestone biden hope to reach by July four. The us reported over 800,000 new shots were administered yesterday, making it the fifth straight day with over 700,000 shots and arms still far from peak levels amid a renewed push to get more people vaccinated. The pandemic is once again consuming biden's agenda. We're not going back to the shutdowns of March of 2020. Uh we're not going back to the economy shutting down. We've made too much progress after getting briefed by his COVID-19 team today. The president will give a speech on the pandemic tomorrow and meet with a top science advisor on Wednesday to prepare for future pandemics. With hospitalizations increasing. The CDC's director is warning of how contagious the delta variant can be. If you get sick with the delta variant, we estimate that you could infect about five other unvaccinated people, More than twice as many as the original strain. Less than 1% of those who are fully vaccinated have experienced a breakthrough infection. According to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation Senator Lindsey Graham announcing he is one of them adding, quote, I am very glad I was vaccinated. Not everyone is taking the CDC's mask advice. There will be no restrictions and no mandates in the state of florida. Today, new york Mayor Bill de Blasio urged vaccinated new Yorkers to wear masks inside but stopped short of issuing a new mandate. But we thought that was the right balance. Still want to respect the fact that vaccination does and give you different opportunities and rights than unvaccinated people right now. Five states are accounting for nearly half of all new covid 19 cases. Meanwhile, a federal freeze on evictions expired over the weekend, putting millions of tenants at risk as infections are spiking nationwide. The White House says a Supreme Court ruling has prevented them from extending it, but made one last appeal to the CDC's yesterday, which was denied. I think what you're seeing is a president who is just trying to do everything that he can in his power. Democrats didn't have the votes to get an extension passed last week, but progressives are turning up the heat on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, we have to really just call a spade a spade. We cannot in good faith blame the Republican Party when House democrats have a majority.
