I don’t believe that’s true. My understanding is that the vaccine has a 95% chance of preventing the virus from invading our cells where it will use the cells’ machinery to create copies of itself. That process is what makes people sick. And, 95% means there’s a one in 20 chance that it will invade your cells and might make you sick and possibly even kill you. That is a long ways from “almost no chance!”. You are not 100% immune to the virus.
Also, we can still be infected. We can carry the virus in our bodies and pass it on to others even if we aren’t making more of it. That’s why we still need to be careful.
