The article seems to be saying two things:

1) breakthrough cases are extremely rare (.008%) in those that are fully vaccinated and those that do get covid after vaccination experience very mild and manageable infections

but it also states:

2) It's a reminder that even vaccinated people are at risk and should continue to take precautions such as masking and social distancing in many circumstances.

If cases are that rare in those that are vaccinated and breakthrough cases are generally mild, why do vaccinated people need to continue to take those precautions?
