So again, I'll re-post what I wrote on another COVID thread-----
Why does this idiotic rumor keep spreading????? Again, I challenge ANYONE to cite a reputable source for this nonsense.
Think of it this way-----why would all the "experts" be pushing the vaccines as the method of obtaining herd immunity and ending this pandemic if the vaccines did not confer immunity. Why spend billions on vaccines that only prevent "death" in the 0.3% of the people who would actually die from it. In fact, in a cold-hearted but social Darwinian model, why keep people who can spread the virus alive?
Yet , on just about every COVID thread, some yahoo pops up with the "the vaccine only decreases severity of illness and reduces the chance of death" Use your brains, please.

I agree with about 90% of what was said there. But, I believe that some people have been found the got their vaccine and had the necessary antibodies and then sometime later caught more CV and ended up in a hospital. I remember hearing that on one of the "normal news" TV channels. It apparently does not happen to many people. And there is still some uncertainty as to whether a fully vaccinated person can NOT spread CV. Most likely that IS true but, last I heard Medical Science was STILL researching it. That's why Dr. Fauci did NOT that to be absolutely true. He seemed to WANT to say it, but, he seemed to want more research done. He knows that his opinions get so much media coverage that he must NOT make educated guesses. The Japanese apparently have done extensive research on BOTH of these questions. The question of how long protection lasts is, also, still being researched. And the US may (?) get hit with one or more of the new variants. So, in summary, much is still unknown about the CV Pandemic.
