Well no to be fair the vaccines actually don't work very well at all, compared to what was commonly understood for earlier vaccines. This is why various definitions of the word had to be adjusted to reflect the new understanding and definitions around these covid vaccines. The covid vaccines do not appear to provide immunity to the disease at all (or not in large proportion, as in previous vaccines). Certainly not in all the cases they consider to be successful vaccinations, which use reduction in hospitalization or death as the headline numbers. Many people can certainly contract and transmit covid after being vaccinated. And you can die of multiple contributing factors. If he did not have cancer he might have survived. If he did not have covid he might have survived. A significant proportion of covid deaths have various other factors like this in play though, so Colin's case is not unusual to be listed as covid, vaccinated or not.
