You are misinformed. Covid 19 vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infections. They are, however, highly effective at preventing serious illness and death. Fully vaccinated people can still get infected. These are called breakthrough infections. And those who get them WILL BE contagious, and can infect others. Effectiveness for covid 19 vaccines approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) range from 51 to 96%. So hypothetically, depending on which vaccine(s) you received, you have a 4 to 49% 'opportunity' to have a breakthrough infection. Add to that the decreased vaccine effectiveness over time, age and sex factors, and new, possibly more virulent covid 19 variants; and protections provided by being initially "fully vaccinated" are not what you may think they are. The boosters are needed for more reasons than just to make some people richer. My point: VACCINATED is not equal to COMPLETELY SAFE! Safer regarding reducing risk of infection, severity of disease, hospitalization, and/or death: YES! Completely safe from the above, and from infecting others if you get a breakthrough infection?: NO! Mask-up! Be safe and keep others safe!
