The vaccines were not intended only to stop severe disease.  They were intended to stop the spread of Covid.  Please go back and read the news around the time the vaccines were released.  Some examples included Biden and the CDC saying we would not need to mask anymore after being vaccinated.  CDC guidance also allowed a person exposed to Covid to avoid quarantine if they were vaccinated.

The rhetoric changed once it became apparent vaccinated people were still getting infected with and spreading Covid.  This is one of the reasons so many people are skeptical of the CDC and vaccine manufacturers now.  They narrative keeps changing.

This is why armchair public health commentary is the worst.

The whole reason we had NPIs like masks was to reduce hospitalizations and keep our hospitals running. The goal was never to eradicate mild infections. Think about it, why would they care if people got sick? It’s not about getting sick. It’s about clogging up hospitals and creating staffing issues due to severe illness of a high number of people in the population at once. Vaccines mitigate that greatly.

We are so behind other countries, where vaccine/booster compliance is close to 99% and they don’t have to deal with all the COVID related issues we still do because it’s much more under control there.[/quote]

Few countries without multiple layers of mitigation have it under control and those that do are limiting travel and other things.[/quote]
