Ok, so there were warnings that vaccines will lead to a false sense of security. And, guess what? Those warnings were right! One only has to take a look at the numbers in, say, Germany to see that the current wave of the pandemic is the worst yet, and vaccines contributed to that negatively on several levels:
- they gave the government a false sense of security, so they are only now reacting to the dramatic rise in Covid cases.
- vaccinated people can both get Covid (with the current Delta variant) and transmit it, they just don't get as sick as unvaccinated people. Still, restrictions were eased for vaccinated people as a motivational measure to get vaccinated, and now the virus is being transmitted from vaccinated person to vaccinated person until it finds an unvaccinated one.
- vaccination is actually impeding the measures that can be taken in the future: there is the argument that restricting the freedom of movement of a vaccinated person may be an undue breach of their constitutional rights, so there will be even more hesitation before extreme measures (lockdown).
I'm currently isolating at home with Covid despite being vaccinated, so please excuse me if I sound harsh. I'm actually glad that I am vaccinated, but I now see that the vaccine was more than just a bit hyped up by the authorities...
