Obviously it helps with reduction of symptoms, but OTOH, we just had a CHCH case who left MIQ and later tested positive who was double vaxxed.
Now we have COVID running through a rest home in Auckland where the majority are double vaxxed.
From what I can see, the vaccine will at worst stop you from getting seriously ill, but there is still a chance you can spread it with or without symptoms and the main issue i can see is it potentially gives people a false sense of security that you are unable to catch the virus or spread it to others and less likely to go and get tested.
Now covid is now known to have all sorts of crazy long term side effects and I hate to think what it does to your body, especially what they are saying it can do to your brain and other organs.
Its not just a normal respiratory virus, it seems to be much more broad what parts of the body it affects, so you have to take this into account vs getting the jab.
It's interesting that we're seeing more breakout cases among the fully vaxxed, when the stats clearly show the vast majority of current cases are unvaccinated. I wonder in the case of the rest home, they have potentially been vaccinated for some time, and the efficacy of the vaccine does die off significantly within 6 months. Maybe time for that booster shot roll out.
