EDIT: Just read up more on this, and it's also because of waning vaccine immunity over time coinciding with the emergence of Delta --

"The data suggests that the drop is due to waning efficacy, rather than more contagious variants, researchers said."
"The effectiveness of the Pfizer Inc /BioNTech SE vaccine in preventing infection by the coronavirus dropped to 47% from 88% six months after the second dose, according to data published on Monday that U.S. health agencies considered when deciding on the need for booster shots."
""To us, that suggests Delta is not an escape variant that is completely evading vaccine protection," said study leader Sara Tartof with Kaiser Permanente Southern California's Department of Research & Evaluation."

I guess now it makes sense why the CDC recently changed the definition of a "vaccine" since it is no longer "preventing disease", which was the previous definition. I wonder how the next 2 years will sound like. Probably similar to the last 10 months:
Take the vaccine and slow the spread.
Take the vaccine and slow the spread....for 6 months.
Take the vaccine and get a booster and slow the spread... for 6 months.
Take the vaccine and get a booster, and get another booster, and then slow the spread... for 6 months.
Oh yeah, if you don't take these experimental therapeutics which wane after 6 months, then you will be excluded from basic functions of society.
I mean, it all makes sense!
