Can you or someone else tell me whether anyone who has had ther vaccines have died?

I see people still dying form this virus and I just wonder if they have been jabbed then how many of them are there who have not been protected...and at a time when we are at low levels of transmission.
US breakthrough cases as reported by CDC, not sure of there is equivalent reporting for Uk
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html

As of April 26, 2021, more than 95 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. During the same time, CDC received reports of vaccine breakthrough infections from 46 U.S. states and territories.

Females5,827 (63%)
People aged ≥60 years4,245 (45%)
Asymptomatic infections2,525 (27%)
Hospitalizations*835 (9%)
Deaths†132 (1%)
*241 (29%) of the 835 hospitalizations were reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19.
†20 (15%) of the 132 fatal cases were reported as asymptomatic or not related to COVID-19.
 
One more time for the hard of learning...

People stay in pubs for hours. People stay in restaurants for hours. People - by and large - dont stay in supermarkets for hours.
People dont wear masks in pubs. People dont wear masks in restaurants. People do wear masks in supermarkets.

It's not that difficult to understand the difference...it REALLY 'kin isn't.
I don't know what restaurants you've been in but I've never spent, nor seen anyone spend more than an hour, two max in a proper restaurant and less than a half hour in a fast food one

It does say also in that piece that "..reported vaccine breakthrough cases will represent an undercount. This surveillance system is passive and relies on voluntary reporting from state health departments which may not be complete."

But the figures are encouragingly low at this stage.

We'll see how the vaccines perform in the usual repsiratory infection season.

Also, the report concludes: "CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people continue take steps to protect themselves and others in many situations, like wearing a mask, maintaining an appropriate social distance from others, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, and washing their hands often."

These vaccines can only help if we work WITH them and adopt a very cautious approach - something our "It's over!" Pollyanna cohort on here dont seem to get...or want to get.

In your understanding of English language, when does 2 hours not mean "hours" as I stated?

You cant both challenge and confirm my statement.
 
Let's see how hard you're laughing in a few months.

Console yourself, with the fact that you’ll still be able to man your 24 hr Covid help line, for the worried well, the cranks and the likeminded pandemic remainers like yourself.

Plus you can always release those virus ridden bats you’ve been saving for an emergency and kick the whole thing off again.
