That's correct, you can infect other people if you're vaccinated, and you can still get infected even if you're triple vaccinated. Break-through cases are very common, as witnessed in highly vaccinated nations that are still struggling with huge outbreaks.
Your conclusion is essentially the right one, the leading vaccines (particularly the mRNA vaccines) can dramatically lower the risk of a bad outcome if you catch SARS2. They do not stop the spead of the virus and do not ensure you won't catch it.
- jjeaff 5y agoWhy does everyone seem so obstinately binary on this topic? They slow the spread. They make you less likely to get infected and to spread it. Few things in medicine are 100%. This is nothing new. And even a small reduction in the ability of a vaccinated person to spread the virus makes a huge difference. In fact, it could likely make enough difference to bring the R0 of COVID below R1.
