In a thread about serious complications from taking the vaccine is this comment, "all those who got the vaccine and thereby had much better outcomes when they got the 'VID." The vaccine didn't prevent sickness nor transmission. I would not take risks of this EUA medical treatment that doesn't work.

>>"all those who got the vaccine and thereby had much better outcomes when they got the 'VID." >The vaccine didn't prevent sickness nor transmission I said what you've quoted because it's literally true. Neither "sickness" nor "transmission" are binary. Getting vax'd doesn't prevent sickness -- but it prevents the very worst of it [0], and presumably can turn a moderate infection into a minor one. It doesn't prevent transmission, but it decreases viral load [1] and concomitantly seems to decrease infectivity. Frankly, since it seems like we're all going to get COVID again and again anyway, I'd rather decrease its effect on my future health.
