Bill is fully vaccinated and is asymptomatic. He is expected to fully recover.

I guess this points out that vaccines are not 100% effective in preventing getting COVID, but are supposed to be close to 100% effective in preventing dying from it.
The vaccines are not only protective against death but are protective against moderate to severe symptoms of Covid. THAT was my one and only reason to get myself vaccinated. I can handle no or mild symptoms. It's the dying I didn't want to have to deal with. Glad I made the decision I did.
