Actually the key words here are HELP and MAY


I'm not in any high risk group, and it's not available to me right now in my area so I have not gotten it (we are way behind the state), but I was looking at the CDC Website, and unlike vaccines from MMR, tetanus, meningitis, etc., the CDC does not sound overly definitive on whether it prevents you from getting or transmitting with words like "help" and "may"

"What you need to know
Vaccines currently approved for use in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccination is an important tool to help stop the pandemic.
COVID-19 vaccines help protect people who are vaccinated from getting sick or severely ill with COVID-19 and may also help protect people around them.
CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as one is available to you."

People are acting like if you get the vaccine that you definitively won't get or transmit it. That is not true. Most probable is of you do get it, it will be less severe than without. They also act like once most people have it that the government is magically going to pull out of masking and social distancing. Well, some localities will. Some won't. Don't hold your breath in VA. Now we have variants that are worse. Actually, the strain that took the Vancouver Canucks down is the one I want to be vaccinated for.
