Is this real? Federer does not know that being vaccinated does not change the likelihood of contracting the virus? Unreal. I guess that's why there are so many infections these days everywhere... people get vaccinated and think they can't get it (and stop using masks & practicing physical distancing), in reality they can get it just the same, except it won't hurt them the same, if they do.

Do read this article, especially the (hotlinked) studies.

Meanwhile in Australia: 80%+ vaccination rate and 35.000 - 70.000 new cases a day (rising so quickly, tomorrow it could be 200.000).
