The Covid vaccine didn't guarantee that you would not get Covid. It gave you a better chance you wouldn't get hospital sick and die. My boss was anti vaccine. He died in the hospital 3 years ago. I still miss him, he was a great boss. He listened to right wing media and Alex Jones and voted for Trump.

Covid has mutated and has variants now.

The Covid vaccine didn't guarantee that you would not get Covid.

It was a bit different with the original strain of the virus though. Transmission was sufficiently reduced that with a fairly high vaccination rate, I'd would have fizzled out. We were so hopeful...

But with the new variants and 90%+ vaccinated populations, it still circulates ๐Ÿ˜ž
