@geniusmusing One thing I have come across a couple of times is that the vaccines are not expected to completely prevent infections, but instead to reduce the severity thereof. Thus, you may become infected (and maybe even pass the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus to others) despite having taken your shots.

I recently skipped a friend’s wedding reception despite being vaccinated. The reason was because there were some required tasks at work that day, but afterward, I learned that people were maskless and close together (and I only knew a few of the people). I would have been even more uncomfortable than I already am in those situations.
