This might be my frustration coming out so please excuse me, but if we are expecting vaccines to prevent every mild infection, I fear we have truly lost the plot.

Like a lot of the messaging, we totally fucked that up. What people heard: “The vaccines mean you never get sick EVER. You’re totally protected from Covid in all ways.”

The reality: vaccination reduces greatly the likelihood that if you catch Covid, you are hospitalized and/or die.

The vaccines are working just as designed. Yes, they do often grant sterilizing immunity. But that was not their purpose nor their goal. So liberals in particular see any infection post-vaccination as the vaccines “failing,” not realizing that a lot of them would be dead without that jab.
