But that's not the whole story. Yes, if you vaccinated you can still contract and pass the virus. But vaccinated people that contract the virus will have milder symptoms than unvaccinated people.

To your second point, you can have the virus and pass it on even if you have no symptoms. Some people will never have any symptoms and other may have the virus in their system and still be able to pass it on for up to 14 days before they experience symptoms.

The vaccines are designed to limit hospitalizations and deaths. Not to prevent contracting the virus.

Unvaccinated people account for around 98%-99% of all deaths due to Covid-19.

That being said, less than 2% of all Covid cases result in death and less than 20% require hospitalization. Both of those number have been declining since the vaccines were introduced.

I don't tell anyone what to do but those are the number.

As for myself, I believe that the vaccine saved my life.
