I'm pro vaccine and am vaccinated. But I've also had covid three times since I was able to be vaccinated, and one time before then. That's different than the polio vaccine and basically all vaccines except the flu shot. If your rhetoric around this vaccine doesn't acknowledge this and give reasons to get it anyway, you're not even trying.
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.
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 ๐
