That's a big misconception.
The vaccine "makes you 25 years younger" so to speak. Meaning that it gives an 80 year old the COVID risk of a 55 year old, which is still pretty big.

Just being 80 gives you a 10% annual chance of death, which climbs dramatically as you get towards 90. Your risk tolerance automatically goes up as you age, even if you don't notice.
