Singapore had an outbreak originating with a fully vaccinated (2 doses) nurse.

Your examples are extreme but I’m not sure how to get people to act sanely. Restrictions are eased in Sydney and everyone just stopped doing anything even in crowded spaces. And we had a case that was traced to a person in quarantine, but we can’t find all the links back to the source.

Not sure why you’re downvoted - your comment about Singapore is correct. In fact, 9 fully vaccinated people were a part of that outbreak.

What that tells you is the vaccine will only protect the vaccinated. Unvaccinated people are still at risk and could be infected by someone vaccinated.

So keeping restrictions in place until everyone has had an opportunity to get vaccinated makes sense.
