Yep first country to get over 100% of it's population anything ever, it really is an impressive feat.
Do you watch JP Sears ?? he was making fun of this!!

Impact of public mask wearing under the full range of mask adherence and efficacy scenarios. The color indicates the resulting reproduction number Re" role="presentation">Re from an initial R0" role="presentation">R0 of 2.4 (40). Blue area is what is needed to slow the spread of COVID-19. Each black line represents a specific disease transmission level with the effective reproduction number Re" role="presentation">Re indicated.
Conclusion
Our review of the literature offers evidence in favor of widespread mask use as source control to reduce community transmission: Nonmedical masks use materials that obstruct particles of the necessary size; people are most infectious in the initial period postinfection, where it is common to have few or no symptoms (45, 46, 141); nonmedical masks have been effective in reducing transmission of respiratory viruses; and places and time periods where mask usage is required or widespread have shown substantially lower community transmission.
It is also important for health authorities to provide clear guidelines for the production, use, and sanitization or reuse of face masks, and consider their distribution as shortages allow. Clear and implementable guidelines can help increase compliance, and bring communities closer to the goal of reducing and ultimately stopping the spread of COVID-19.
When used in conjunction with widespread testing, contact tracing, quarantining of anyone that may be infected, hand washing, and physical distancing, face masks are a valuable tool to reduce community transmission. All of these measures, through their effect on Re" role="presentation">Re, have the potential to reduce the number of infections. As governments exit lockdowns, keeping transmissions low enough to preserve health care capacity will be critical until a vaccine can be developed.
----------
The United States and Canada, both were never able to get high face mask wear compliance as they never got above 58% when they needed 70 - 80% for high compliance.

- The available evidence suggests that near-universal adoption of nonmedical masks when out in public, in combination with complementary public health measures, could successfully reduce Re" role="presentation">Re to below 1, thereby reducing community spread if such measures are sustained. Economic analysis suggests that mask wearing mandates could add 1 trillion dollars to the US GDP (32, 34).

We do know that the effect of the vaccine wanes over time. Hopefully less so after the 3rd booster shot. Some people's body react differently and creates less antibodies. Maybe she was one of those unlucky ones.
The plural of anecdote is not data. Overall vaccines are very effective of preventing hospitalization and death.
To be clear, I wasn't implying the vaccines aren't effective, I was just offering an example. And I would agree that since it was January since her first shots that may have played a role in her getting a more than mild case.
If you ever wondered how the nurses feel about dealing with the Covidiots, some quote from Reddit:
"My hospital is offering an extra $100/hour on top of overtime for nurses to come in extra and nobody wants it. In critical care we normally take 1-3 patients each and we’re now taking 4-5.
I called/texted everyone on day shift this morning and begged them to come in. All I got was “nope.” The shit show is NOT worth it."
"Things could be better if the hospital was proactively trying to get nurses. And if it wasn’t so bad we’d be seeing staff nurses come in for overtime. But aside from all that, Covid patients are the worst. This shit is going to give me PTSD, and I’m not sure what compassion even feels like anymore."
"Well if they make it to my unit they are probably only making sense for a day or two before they deteriorate. Most of our patients are on the verge of intubation, on bipap or high flow oxygen. They get hypoxic and confused and pull at things, so we have to tie their wrists to the bed and sedate them."
"I’ve put in 3 central lines and intubated three already today in 4 hours. We just ran out of vents and tubefeeds. If my patients mom hadn’t been in the room I would have missed a tonic-clonic seizure. We are all tripled and one RT just walked out. It’s beyond burnout out now, it’s collapsing. Alabama by the way."
(compared to January)"It’s a magnitude worse. We’ve been hemorrhaging staff all summer. We literally have 50% staff compared to last December"
"Not worth it when you spend your off days staring at a wall and trying not to cry. I think about walking out every day."
"It’s not worth it. I had to do a brain death scan on a Covid patient two nights ago for 45 mins and it was miserable. Imagine having to deal with that plus 3-4 more critical care patients for 12 hours. Your mental health is going to be in the toilet. What good is all that extra money?"
"My hospital is offering $1000 / shift for those willing to work overtime."

Meanwhile Isreal 13xs more likely to catch/spread there going to really love you jabbed soon
Why don't you do it yourself. lol
