And the kicker is, a shot isn’t going to prevent it from happening.

Not this crap yet again!
The Phase 3 clinical trials showed that the mRNA vaccines were about 95% effective, compared to Placebo recipients in the trials, in preventing SYMPTOMATIC disease and close to 100% effective in preventing severe disease and death. Those Phase 3 clinical trials did NOT look to see if non-symptomatic infection was prevented. But subsequent studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals not only validated the trials’ 95% symptomatic disease prevention finding but also additionally found that, compared to the unvaccinated, full vaccination prevented 90% of DETECTABLE infections. If a person does not have a detectable level of virus it’s highly unlikely they could be infectious. Of course that leaves 10% (split roughly 5% symptomatic and 5% NON-symptomatic) that could be infectious so it is definitely possible to be infected by someone previously vaccinated. But a far larger PERCENTAGE of the unvaccinated are likely to be the source of an infection.
So, yes the mRNA vaccines prevent 90% of infections! I’ll take those odds. 90% is better than 0% to all but the deranged amongst us.
