They do, however, confer approximately 100% protection against serious illness or hospitalization. If you get it, you won't be seriously compromised. I read somewhere today that 99.7% of all people currently hospitalized with Covid were people who caught it and had not been vaccinated. Virtually no one who has gotten the vaccine and then the virus has had to go to hospitals for care. That's pretty great. Anti-vaxxers and vaccine hesitant people are just stupid.
