The COVID vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting COVID. It just mitigates the symptoms. You can still get it and spread it.

Worth noting that being vaccinated makes it harder to spread

[–] Natanael@slrpnk.net 8 points 6 months ago

If anybody wonders how, it's because vaccination means the immune system reduces viral load, so you spread much less virus and thus others exposed have a better chance of avoiding infection.

In other words, it does exactly the same as any other vaccine...

And what do you think people die from? The symptoms, knucklehead.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I'm aware of that but the comment I replied to says the virus is preventable. You really think I understand how the vaccine works but not what people die from or did you just need to make a degrading comment?

Wow, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning ?

Just tired of the "well, actually..." comments that make no sense.
