I didn't say there was no risk. I replied to someone saying, "the vaccine protects you from dying from the virus or having severe symptoms, not really from catching the virus and getting covid."
Bolding mine.
That statement is false. It's fear mongering. It's so wrong it needs to be pointed out every time it's said. Statements like that will keep people from getting vaccinated and hurt people who are.
You can cling to the worst case of everything, and that's not healthy and leads to far worse decision making for a society.

Is a 90-95% reduction in your chance of getting Covid, "not really" protecting you?
The numbers of breakthrough cases indicate the protection is even better than the clinical trials, but sure, let's all wring our hands and pearl clutch over the incredibly rare, but possible.
