>>"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.
