The vaccine isn't supposed to stop you from getting covid as much as it's supposed to stop you from getting seriously ill and dying from covid. The public messaging, however, has been abysmal on this point, and now too many people think that if you get the vaccine it means you don't get covid.
and this is why vaccinations are something that should protect you and the ones who can’t be vaccinated. The idea that everyone should be forced to vaccinate for the greater good is hogwash and does nothing to stop spread. The whole messaging has been around stopping the spread. That is NOT what this vaccine is about, just like the flu jab. It’s merely there to reduce the impact to you.
