...and I'm being restricted because of that.
Either get yourself vaxxed or accept a two tier system where you are locked down and the rest of us aren't.
If you understood statistics you would know that you need to look at the percentage of people who get sick from each group, not the total number of people.
vaxxed adults outnumber unvaxxed adult. Therefore it only requires a small percentage of them to get sick to outnumber the vaxxed in total.
This proves the vax is effective.

In my hone country it's considered to be a finished product. We have a faster and more efficient system that allows us to validate it as being safe and effective much more quickly because we do things concurrently and allow overlaps between trials.
Our safety standards are also higher, and we have a chain of responsibility baked into the system which means that if the shot is dangerous heads will role. There's serious jail time waiting for anybody who attempts to rig the system, and our prisons are NASTY.
So when my government says it's safe it's a fair bet that it's safe.
All COVID-19 vaccine applications are being treated with the greatest priority as part of the Department of Health's response to the pandemic. Under normal circumstances, TGA's assessment (for both provisional and general registration) begins once all information to support registration is available. For COVID-19 vaccines, the TGA has agreed to accept rolling data to enable early evaluation of data as it comes to hand.
Many of the large-scale clinical trials that will provide evidence of safety and effectiveness are still progressing and these results will be provided to the TGA as they become available. The TGA will also evaluate quality data (such as how the vaccines ...
