I know two people who were fully vaccinated and still came down with the illness. One was quite sick. My mother has a friend who is 100, contracted the virus, was mildly ill for two days and that was it.
Jon Rahm out of Olympics now

Know at least 10 ppl that tested positive recently although they were fully vaxed. Half had little to no symptoms. 2 are in the hospital. And 3 of them had the full ‘no taste/body ache/coughing fit’ and stay home for 2+weeks symptoms.
It’s really a crap shoot. Stay safe out there. Guess why golf is not going away anytime soon.

I haven't been aware of someone testing positive, then getting vaccine, then testing positive again in the span of about 2 months. Of course that begs the questions is/was one of the tests a false positive?
Ehhh it's a crapshoot... Could be any reason of positive. False test, even with vaccine it's 88% effective could miss... Also need variant only 39% effecicay rating...
It's still running rampid

Precisely.
Nor do the vast majority of un-vaccinated people.
Which may mean, ironically, you can become a Typhoid Mary and not even know it. But the same is true for many (most?) people who are un-vaccinated, since it's been long-established most people exhibit few to no symptoms of infection.
Incorrect. Only enough people need do it to reduce the virus' ability to efficiently propagate. That number is estimated by CDC to be somewhere between 70-85% of the population. (SWAG: Probably the lower end of that number assuming a relatively even distribution across the population. Only needs to be enough to reduce R0 [infection rate] to less than one.)
It won't prevent either.
Can't be established with any degree of confidence. Last influenza season was during the height of Covid-19 preventative measures. Those same measures--masks, social distancing, business shut-downs, limiting social gatherings, personal decontamination (e.g.: hand-washing), etc. would have also served to limit the spread of the seasonal influenza.
No, it doesn't. That demands the question. Begging the question is something else entirely

Or perhaps testing is not accurate? I see false positives and false negatives quite often on my job.
Perhaps the vaccines don't work all that well?

Recall Nick Saben tested positive then we learned it was not true. could be a different variant then what Jon had before. the local news channel was doing a clip at our University Hospital and the Dr being interviewed says that the vaccinated are getting the Delta variant some but he has yet to see one needing hospitizalation.

Could be, but maybe not.
"They" claim the Covid-19 vaccination will help with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. But "they" also claimed the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes the Covid-19 disease) was so complex it was unlikely--almost to the point of impossibility, to mutate. But here we are.
"They" have asserted many things later found to have been untrue. (Something of which, curiously, the "news" media somehow fails to remind them. Short attention spans?) My confidence in "them" is pretty thoroughly eroded.

Guys let’s not turn this into a COVID thread. We have had one, it ended poorly, it won’t happen again.
Sucks. Feel like he's one of the guys that would actually take pride in his country and the event, so it's a loss for us all. I can honestly do without our Olympic coverage being about Bryson and his recent stuff, so I'm less sad about that one.
Seems like true positive Rahm as 3 tests by PCR being reported

Jon Rahm tests positive for COVID-19 again, out of Olympics
Rahm had to take four PCR tests in the United Kingdom before coming to Tokyo. He failed three consecutive tests.

Edits for JB's request. I hope the Olympics get cancelled.

With Ra, I think he would be fully vaccinated two weeks after his last shot.
