  "High levels of protection (over 90%) are also seen against mortality with all 3 vaccines and against both the Alpha and Delta variants with relatively limited waning" That's something. Remember the early days, when there was a shortage of body bags.

  The protection afforded by intramusculars to the body against death is clear, well worth it, and long lasting. I am not talking about that here. I tried to make this distinction clear by writing out the full "vaccine effectiveness against infection" every time. The entire point of my comments in this post's threads is to point out the intramuscular vaccines cannot and are not protective against you getting infected and spreading the disease. That's bad. We need new intranasal vaccine boosters to augment the intramusculars and we need to keep wearing face fitting N95 or ffp2 or better masks indoors until then. Being intramuscularly vaccinated will not prevent you from spread sars-cov-2. It will keep you from dying for years and keep you from being hospitalized for ~6 months.
