The vax doesn't prevent you from getting covid. Everyone I know that was vaxxed (including me) has gotten covid multiple times, some severely.

Now it's impossible to actually know if it does anything to help. The more likely scenario is a weakened virus and herd immunity.

This thread isn't about people getting COVID, it's about people dying from it.

You are wrong. The article states that there are more deaths when there are more infections.

I mean, obviously. Its still not the topic of the article, or the thread based on the article

The vaccine doesn’t give you 100% protection against the risk of long COVID either. A review published in 2022 put the rate of long COVID somewhere between 7.5% and 41% of non hospitalised cases [0]. If it falls anywhere within that range you really don’t want to be catching COVID multiple times.
