Actually, they do not.
They hope that if and when you are infected the disease is not severe.
They are calling these cases of 2 week post-vax covid “ breakthrough” cases.
If vax people were immune from infection and infecting they could stop wearing masks and hiding from social contacts 2 weeks post vax.

Technically they could stop wearing and hiding but the COVID police, Fauci, etc., cannot allow that because there is no way they can prevent people from falsely claiming they don’t have to wear a mask because they’ve been vaccinated. In effect, saying vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask means no one has to wear a mask. (Unless of course you want to go the route of vaccination passports/badges/etc.)
I am detecting a growing movement to relax conditions on vaccinated people because they’re beginning to realize that requiring vaccinated to adhere to the same mitigation requirements as unvaccinated is undermining their push for vaccination. Practically, all of these COVID mitigation protocols are beginning to show extreme signs of stress and is on the verge of collapse.
