So anyway as I understand it we have a pretty technical readership here on HN.

Technically, the virus is called SARS-CoV-2 and the disease is called COVID-19[1].

That does mean, technically, that due to vaccination the virus can indeed circulate but that people are not affected by the disease. Is that what Biden has said? Certainly from the excerpt you posted, that seems to be the case.

Are you suggesting that breakthrough cases of COVID don't exist?

I never suggested any such thing
