I assume you must also be from the US, your news sources tend to be awfully misleading at the best of times. The vax was NEVER about preventing transmission, or stopping you from getting it outright. It has always been about reducing symptoms when you do get it. In turn, this means less hospitalizations for serious cases and ultimately less of a burden on your already struggling health system. So out of the people that do cop it bad, a larger percentage of them will make it through thanks to the hospital care available to them.
For the record I am vaxxed, as is my wife and the entirety of both sides of my family.

Yeah, your right. Someone fainted on stage just after mentioning the vaccine...that's evidence the nano bots in our blood stream are listening to us yeah?

But even more then that, that's simply not how vaccines work; despite what your president says. A vaccine doesn't "stop" you from getting anything, in the simplest description, a vaccine trains the immune system how to fight a certain pathogen by giving you a inert (Read: non-multiplying) version of whatever it is the vaccines for. When vaccinated (against anything) If you get exposed to the real live pathogen, your body has a far better chance of quickly dealing with the it, as its dealt with it before . A un-vaccinated person catches a live pathogen which immediately begins to multiply which leads to you getting you sick as your body tries to deal with it en-masse. It has nothing to do with your body shedding the virus (transmission). Hence alot of the vaccinated people, myself included, getting it post vaccination.
The only thing that would completely "stop you from getting it" is a biological hazard suit.

As I said, you must be American, as you constantly get fed disinformation, or just enough information to play toward someones narrative. At least here in Australia and from what I've heard from the UK, it was always marketed as something to reduce severity of symptoms. Never was it said to prevent transmission, neither on television or in hospital literature given to staff. What you heard was half right, its very much about reducing the load on Hospitals and healthcare infrastructure. As the government projected the number of cases likely to emerge.
Fact is, anyone can write a medical paper. Especially like the one you've just linked that (as the header of the document states) has not been peer reviewed.

There is no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines to prevent polio infection. Polio vaccine protects children by preparing their bodies to fight the polio virus. Almost all children (99%) who get all the recommended doses of vaccine will be protected from polio. Therefore, the strategy to eradicate polio is based on prevention by immunizing every child to stop transmission and ultimately make the world polio-free.

I did state "a simplest description".
And absolutely, which is why at least here in Australia there's different vaccines targeting the mutated strains. But ultimately, even the vax for the initial strain will still have some effectiveness, as the mutated strain has still come from the original.
It is very important that we continue practising good hygiene and physical distancing, and getting tested and staying home if unwell."
