Exactly, and I believe all that fear has been stoked by media and government. Covid-19 will most likely be with us indefinitely. The concern about the vaccines should not be "will I get infected?" but rather "will I survive?" Surviving infection is the best way to protect ourselves because the immune system (unless you are immuno-compromised) will do the heavy lifting. It appears the most important phrase from the Mayo study is, "Our observational study highlights that while both mRNA COVID-19 vaccines
strongly protect against infection and severe disease. . ."
