Mostly, a vaccine does not guarantee that you will not get the disease (though some do), it usually reduces the risk you develop a bad form [1]. Which is why the expression “vaccine works” without defining what we mean by work lead to unproductive debates. We ended up with antivaxxers making claims that since the vaccine didn’t prevent infections it was a fraud, and vaxxers claiming that the vaccine would rid us of the virus, and often making public policy on that false assumption. Some vaccines do reduce the chance that will you will get the disease or transmit it enough that if the whole population gets vaccinated the virus won’t circulate anymore but that’s not the case with covid vaccines. [1] a good illustration that help strike the concept is that famous photo of two children who got smallpox but one was vaccinated https://daraj.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/5a2b8126-e638-49be-8f0a-b222fb74215d.jpg https://daraj.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/5a2b8126-e638-4...
