protect "very well" against the virus infection.
DR. FAUCI: One of the things that's clear from the data [is] that even though vaccines - because of the high degree of transmissibili ty of this virus - don't protect overly well, as it were, against infection, they protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalizatio n and death. And I believe that's the reason, Neil, why at my age, being vaccinated and boosted, even though it didn't protect me against infection, I feel confident that it made a major role in protecting me from progressing to severe disease. And that's very likely why I had a relatively mild course. So my message to people who seem confused because people who are vaccinated get infected - the answer is if you weren't vaccinated, the likelihood [is] you would have had [a] more severe course than you did have when you were vaccinated.
And I see his statement here as false too. I personally know 4 people that were fully vaxxed and boosted die from supposedly 'covid'. And I (not vaccinated at all) had covid - contracted it from a fully vaxxed co-worker. One of my brother and his family had mild covid symptoms and they are not vaxxed or boosted.
I'm not advocating for people to not get vaxxed... it's your own body, do as you please.
