The vaccines boost your immune response. They cannot magically affect the virus outside of your body. Nor do they have instantaneous effect. So, you can both be infected, and can infect others before your immune system defeats the virus in your system.
Of the 618 of the cases hospitalized with COVID-19 Delta variant in New Zealand over the past year, only 49 have been fully vaccinated. In New Zealand, no fully vaccinated people have died from COVID-19. But NZ has a smaller total population and seems to be doing well against COVID-19 on the whole, so statistically, lets look at the country that is currently a less than stellar performance against COVID-19 and is populous - the USA:
Rates of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations by vaccination status
Rates of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths by Vaccination Status
Clearly, the vaccines aren't perfect, but they aren't a failure by any means, either.

You can both catch and transmit the virus after receiving and developing a full immune response from the vaccine. Ergo, it really should not be called a vaccine.
In the US, they don't usually even bother to try to hide it anymore and simply tell you that it mitigates your symptoms.
So while it may have some value, it certainly is not a proper vaccine like the ones we receive as children with occasional boosters on a many times yearly schedule as adults.
And no, the annual flu shot is not a booster but an entirely new shot every year given to provoke a response to entirely new strains of the flu.

That is not what Bill Gates said about the reasons to get vaccinated. Boosting up ur for how long? 10 weeks? noicted how they never say in articles for how long it boosts your immune.

But that is the same for EVERY vaccine ever created. You can't expect your immune system to kill the pathogen before it is in your system. Similarly, you can't expect your immune system to detect and respond to a pathogen instantaneously.

As per the topic of the thread, they have, and still are, saying far more than that. They are saying that the vaccines can help us defeat both the the spread and lethality of the virus.

They don't boost your immune system. They force it to overproduce a spike protein for a virus that existed 2 years ago,
weakening the thymus and depleting your CD8 natural killer cells like AIDS does
, hence VAIDs.
Europe has already warned that any further shots will cause the immune system to be "worn out."
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You just repeat s#1t you hear on CNN.
Stop.

It isn't the same for "EVERY" vaccine at all...
If that was the case I'm sure vaccine hesitancy would have been a bit more prevalent than it was before Covid-19.
Can you please point me in the direction of these other vaccines that are just like (as useless) as the covid-19 vaccine and have a ton of breakthrough cases?
I'm sure we would have all had something to say about government pushing useless vaccines on us before 2020 if this was true?

They can say all they want, reality is showing you right now if you open your eyes a bit that the "vaccines" are not defeating anything, other than the humans ability to critically think...
Lethality? Isn't it already not lethal?
Unless you're old and/or have commodities at which point the common cold is just as lethal?

That was the story from day 1. Yes, Biden and a few other people said otherwise, but I don't listen to a president for health advice.
No. It was not. They told you it was 90%+ effective at preventing infection, and that was the data from the pharma company and Dr. SCIENCE.

edit on 31-1-2022 by LocalGenius because: (no reason given)
No vaccine induces sterilising immunity - it was well known the public didn't understand how vaccines work and had widespread false beliefs surrounding immunity recorded in medical journals back in the 1980s.
The UK MMR jab is a good example of how anti-vax hysteria in the UK MSM over unscientific vaccine-autism concerns caused once extinct disease to break out hundreds of times in areas where vaccination rates dipped below herd immunity and a huge ressurgence in avoidble Measles, Mumps and Rubella deaths and disabilities.
The UK is now no longer listed as a Measles, Mumps or Rubella free country as outbreaks have become common thanks to the anti-vax, anti-scientiic propaganda and common misconceptions.

They've probably halved because they have got more strict with what a covid death actually is....
Lets not forget that they quite literally named heart attack deaths/car crash deaths/ran over by a bus deaths as covid-19 deaths.
Are you trying to tell me the Covid-19 "vaccine" is as affective for covid-19 as the smallpox vaccine is effective for smallpox?
Really?
