      The COVID vaccine is not sterilizing, meaning it does not guarantee prevention of disease. Instead it prevents serious infections that’ll put you into the hospital or worse. The flu vaccine works the same way.

      I absolutely will take a shot that turns a COVID infection from hospitalization into a bad cold.

      It’s effective at keeping you out of the hospital, which is what matters.

      If you want to not get the disease, it’s going to mean wearing an N95 or equivalent mask whenever you’re inside with people from outside your household, and having the rest of your household do the same.
