You may be kidding, but your headline will be real.

Meanwhile, the people who are modelling these things are saying that 60-70% of this 3rd Wave (at least in terms of those who will die or end up in the hospital) is going to be caused by people who get two jabs - not by the virus itself!
This kind of makes sense though, right?
If the U.K. has vaccinated about 6 million people twice, and the vaccine doesn't prevent Covid really, it just lessens the symptoms and prevent spread (?maybe), then we wpuld assume that those with 2 doses are in the susceptible age brackets (elderly), and more likely to be hospitalized by even mild(er) Covid symptoms.
So, if everything is to be believed, these people will still be succumbing to Covid, it's just that they'll have had the two doses of vaccine.
Just like in the other Covid waves, hospitalizations and deaths were mostly elderly people and people with comorbidities, now the only difference is, those people got their vaccines.
So, 60-70% of deceased/hospitalized will have been vaccinated, but maybe the overall total will be less.
(And honestly who even knows with the ridiculous amount of information being released that "projections" and opinions.)

Fact is this is a prediction, not reality, and y'all are not being very careful in your reading comprehension. The original is being intentionally inflammatory by sprinkling in anecdotal tales. In the US we are vaccinating about 4 million people a day. Old people (65+) are over 50% vaccinated because they were given early priority. The vaccine does not grant immortality. The people in the older age ranges are statistically likely to die, vaccinated or not, at a far higher rate than the rest of the population. This is the same fallacy we saw earlier on when anyone who died in a car accident, if they were found to have covid, was listed as a covid death. This was widely condemned as a misuse of statistics, and now you are using it bolster the case that the vaccine gives you covid.
Fake news, from ATS. What a surprise

It has not been proven that all vaccines give any level of immunity. There are studies intimating that there is some level of protection from actual infection, and others that show that if infected after vaccinated, your chance of transmitting it are very low. Each of these studies will need to be vetted, repeated, and pass peer review. For now, its just information that gives cause for hope.
Johnson and Johnson is an exception, as it creates an immune response.
Throwing further wrenches int he works...there are other studies showing antibodies in people who have had neither a vaccine or been infected. This could be asymptomatic folks...or not. Its a real bitch, this virus. You cannot really even intuit/extrapolate due to the nature of how it acts. All you can really say for sure is what you do not know.

Where is your evidence for all this?

I believe you know the answer to that.....but here goes:
Drug makers are exempt from the full brunt of liability because they were asked to forego phase IV trials in the interest of public health. They could easily have refused, and put the COVID vaccine being released in 2022 or 2023. But they didn't, as it is believed (or was believed) that the risk to human life was too much.
So they did trials, but the phase IV trials are being done in the wild due to this. Because of that, they would be insane to accept responsibility.
As far as being vaccinated goes....as far as I know, it is not required. In the US it likely will never be required. Use your own risk analysis and mitigation strategies and make a personal decision based on that. Since I came from a generation that was still taught Caveat Emptor as a cornerstone of American thought, this doesn't bother me in the least.

It's all there in the data search it might be over your head but using the same criteria for searching the covid vaccines, substitute the 11 versions on the seasonal flu vaccines

Not over my head, thanks for being patronising.
Still a rubbish source though.
