So it's not like vaccination being imperfect is being compared to something perfect, it's being compared to something that's also imperfect.

But which of these two imperfect things reduces the risk more, that's the question?

In fact, probably the combination of the two reduces risk the most, so how about needing both proof of vaccination and a negative test within 72 hours?
