Assuming a 95% efficacy rate, and given Minnesota's current positive test of 4.9%, that percentage is over 20 times smaller than would be expected.

Unless, of course, there's many more vaccinated who got infected but never realized it! The vaccines greatly diminish the severity of symptoms too, so it makes sense.
