"According to the CDC, 469 people in that area tested positive for COVID-19 this month. Roughly three quarters (346; 74%) of them had been fully vaccinated.
....
In all, 79% (274) of those breakthrough cases experienced COVID symptoms. Of the five total hospitalizations, four of them had been vaccinated.
....
Vaccination coverage among eligible Massachusetts residents was 69%.
....
Even so, the CDC cautions the public from drawing the wrong conclusion based on these findings — calling the data insufficient.

They said vaccinated people are likely to represent a larger proportion of COVID-19 cases as population-level vaccination coverage increases.

They also said asymptomatic breakthrough infections might be underrepresented in the data because of a detection bias."

An VERY UNEXPECTED AND PUZZLING piece of data:
Roughly 3 out of 4 of Covid-19 positive were fully vaccinated. IF vaccination coverage in the tested region is 69% like the rest of Massachusetts, anti-vaxxers would have a field day.

Vaccination increases the chance of getting infected.
