You will still catch COVID while immunised, however you are highly likely have only minor symptoms, if any. The viral load you are carrying and shedding (urgh; that term) will be the same as a non-vaccinated, contagious person, however for a much shorter period of time. So, overall you are far less contagious if/when you catch it being immunised, but contagious nonetheless.
Seriously Evil! How on earth can anyone
possibly know that?
For starters it is an established fact that people have caught Covid and not realised they have had it. If they'd been vaccinated? What then? Would their state of well being have reached euphoria?
Its a logical fallacy to say that the symptoms will be reduced because it it is impossible to quantify what the symptoms would have been.
This is yet another example of the pharmacological doublespeak used to convince people.
You're right but also completely wrong; the worst kind.
With a small sample size, sure, we can't know if an individual has milder symptoms because of the vaccine, or not.
You are absolutely correct. Of course!
But with larger sample sizes a pattern can become obvious. We have an enormous sample size to work with.
e.g. is this coin biased towards heads or tails? With one or two coin flips nobody could possibly know that. But with hundreds of millions of flips any bias would become clear.
This is something called "statistics". Yes, it is sometimes dubious, but not when the results are so conclusive. And on the larger set of data you are incorrect. We can know, the same way we can't know about one coin flip, but we can know about millions of coin flips.

Delta, and even newer variants, will very likely reduce this effectiveness somewhat. Nonetheless the vaccine will be > 0% effective.
