That's why most of the people currently hospitalized for Covid and dying from it are those who haven't been vaccinated. People who've been vaccinated can still catch Covid, but most of the time their symptoms are much milder, and fewer of them die.
Some antivaxxers, though, are using the fact that vaccinated people can still get Covid to argue that the vaccines are ineffective and therefore pointless to take.
Also, even people who have been vaccinated should still take extra precautions--masks, social distance, etc.--if they are in high-transmission areas, to protect themselves and others.
Antivaxxers are also using the bolded to argue that the vaccines are ineffective and therefore pointless to take.
Well, at this point we have a lot of data on which people with Covid wind up in the hospital/dead, and for the most part it's not the vaccinated.
god, ugh
