You're correct about the hospitalizations and death. That's always been the endgame, IMO, and I recall the CDC and medical professionals saying as much even early on. They never said you can't get COVID if vaccinated but that the impact would be less. Also, they knew you could still carry the virus and shed it which is why they want as many people as possible to be vaccinated.
Even traditional vaccines for the seasonal flu and other viruses are not 100 percent effective. People still get the flu after they've had the flu shot! Every doctor will tell you that. But they also will say if you get it you will have a milder form and less likely to end up in the hospital or worse.
