I got vaccinated to protect the very vulnerable elderly neighbours I have, and to reduce the chances of getting sick myself. I also want to get my regular very small life back. The vaccinations will help me do those things, and didn't hurt in in the least.
If the advice is right, I have reduced my chances of both getting seriously sick and reduced my chances of transmitting the virus to others. In addition I can reduce both those further by wearing a mask when around other people and social distancing, so I will do that too.
If those other people are also vaccinated, masked, and distanced the chances reduce even further.
I like those odds a lot better than risking being very sick in order to avoid getting a couple of tiny needles.
For me, reduction is the whole point.
