The vaccines were never supposed to be a shield wall to the virus... no vaccine is. I had my tetanus shot updated a few years back.
I cut my finger on some rusty steel about a year ago, I had mild symptoms and needed, take a guess? A booster! Even tho I had just got an updated shot three years prior.
This is nothing more than a strawman argument and part of the vaccine apologetics.
So do you say that there are no vaccines that can protect you from getting infected and transmit the virus?
You obviously don't understand how vaccines and the immune system works.
Explain us then. Do you say that there are no vaccines that can protect you from getting infected?
I recall a few weeks ago when you were claiming herd immunity can be achieved through vaccination. A claim that has been debunked several times. Everyone knows that the Covid vaccines cannot stop transmission and Infection. So no herd immunity.
But so you say that others vaccines cannot stop infection and infection?

It's not a strawman... covid is a virus right? Why would it act any differently than all others out there?
I mean, my tetanus shot story might be a strawman, but the principles of vaccines and inoculations is similar to covid and vaccines for covid.
Biology doesn't magically change with covid.

That study explained how herd immunity could be reached within that target population, but you could not be bothered to read it, therefore, what is the point of discussing it with you?

There are different types of viruses. Not all viruses are the same.
My question was different. Do you claim that there are no vaccines that can stop infection and transmission? This is not about the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
And Covid us not a virus. Is the disease that found be caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The same may cause nothing to a large number of people who never get Covid. They are asymptomatic just as I was.
"How researchers anticipate the evolutionary trajectory of the virus in advance in the design of next-generation vaccines requires investigation," Zhao continued. "Here, we performed a comprehensive study of 11,650,487 SARS-CoV-2 sequences, which revealed that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein evolved not randomly but into directional paths of either high infectivity plus low immune resistance or low infectivity plus high immune resistance."

Long time ago they didn't know whether herd immunity could be achieved. It is now known that herd immunity is not possible. Actually it is known for long time as infections keep going on and vaccines never prevented them. The Covid vaccines never prevented transmission and Infection. So no herd immunity. Eventhough you were going about this for long. I suppose you have moved away from such views.
Do you think that vaccines cannot prevent infection and transmission? Generally speaking.

COVID-19 Vaccination Did Not Increase the Risk of Potentially Related Serious Adverse Events: 18-Month Cohort Study in an Italian Province
In the entire population of an Italian province, followed for an average of 14 months, individuals who received one or more doses of COVID-19 vaccines did not show an increased risk of death for any cause, death unrelated to SARS-CoV-2 infection, or any of the selected potentially vaccine-related serious adverse events requiring hospitalization (myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, cardiac arrest, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, coronary artery dissection, aortic or peripheral aneurysm, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and myocarditis, or pericarditis). These findings were consistent across genders, age-classes, most frequently administered vaccine types, and SARS-CoV-2 infection status and remained so after adjustment for previous episodes of disease and several potential confounders. Further research in the coming years will be required to evaluate the long-term safety of COVID-19 vaccines

No that's a strawman.
Learn the different types of viruses and why vaccines sometimes can prevent transmission and infection and other types are unable to do so.
Do not ask me idiotic questions and don't link irrelevant quotes.

What you fail to understand is it's not just vaccines, it is how our immune system works, genetics, viral load, existing comorbidities - many other factors play into it. Lower transmission rates due to low viral load is what that article was trying to explain. Low viral load + vaccination + immune system doing it's job + low population density = lower transmission. Herd immunity can be achieved within certain population groups as you would have learned if you had read the study.

You specifically mentioned sars-cov-2 as not being a virus, now you are claiming all types of viruses are not the same. I posted a source specifically about sars-cov-2 replying to your 'sars-cov-2' is not a virus. Idiotic is the right word for it.

If you get an inoculation so any virus or toxin, it tricks your body to thinking you have a full viral load, and causes an immune system response to that particular virus or toxin.
When the actual virus or toxin gets into your system it will attack your cells but your body is ready and armed to rid it as fast as possible or lower symptoms.
The virus still infects you with or without a vaccine...

Don't spin this on me.
You're part of the group that believed vaccines were a shield wall to a virus, and then felt like you were lied to. That's the vibe I'm getting. Because I've known for a long time that vaccines aren't 100% effective.
