Antibody tests and vaccinations in transplants

From the beginning I thought mRNA is breakthrough technology and the way to go.. It had been in the pipeline for a long time as a potential for some cancers ( It is being tested for some cancers in Munich Germany right now). I was not looking for the J&J old technology, as I thought it was the same technology as the flu vaccine. Right now however I know of a family (friends) living in one home, with all but the two youngest vaccinated with mRNA. Five of them are sick with one hospitalized with Covid. The person hospitalized is a diabetic in his 40's. So keep you guard up as this seemed extreme to me with a supposedly only 5% breakthrough rate.

@benlam11- I am so sorry for that family. Supposedly is the keyword. There are some pretty wrong figures out there. Covid-19 vaccines will not prevent anyone from getting COVID. They will keep hospitalizations down and the acuteness of illness down. But they won't prevent anyone from getting the virus. NO vaccine can do this. Also, I do not know the circumstances of this family, how they live. If the two smallest ones aren't vaccinated they could be transmitting it. But this is a guess at best. There are just too many variables.
Sue and I have stated many times that this virus's effects are still new. I think that all of us know families that have unusual circumstances. I hope that that family is quarantined.
Since only about 51% of US people have been vaccinated and another "too many" refusing to be we won't be through with this for a long time. Unvaccinated people are breeding grounds for variants.
