Even after Allen was vaccinated, she was careful to always mask up when outside and wash her hands frequently.
“The vaccine does not necessarily prevent you from getting COVID. It prevents you from being hospitalized or dying from it,” Dr. Kris Bungay, a Manhattan primary care physician, told The Post. “That is why we all still have to be careful.”
It's been out there since the beginning that the J&J is only about 67% effective in preventing disease. What it is supposed to be able to do is prevent serious illness that causes hospitalization and death.

The thing I don't get is...
On one hand you've got covid risks,
Which for the young and even not so young, and healthy, you're more than likely gonna be fine.
On the other hand you've got....the mystery box.
Will it help? Will it hurt? Will it do absolutely nothing effectively because you're a youngish relatively healthy person and covid wasn't a big deal anyway? Is there long term effects that are worse than covid? For those that do suffer negative side effects, would those people have suffered from covid not if they hadn't got the vaccine?
Taking the vaccine is taking the mystery box, which, if you're in serious danger from covid, might be better than not taking the mystery box. Otherwise, why in the hell would you take the mystery box?

Right. Johnson & Johnson said on day-1 that their vaccine was only 65 - 70% effective in stopping Covid-19 infections. The main appeal was J&J being the only vaccine that only required a single dose (jab), instead of 2, like Pfizer and Moderna.
