Are the vaccines preventing catching covid?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) September 17th, 2021 from iPhone

I know of so many breakthrough cases I can’t keep track. The latest one was a woman who had her third shot a week and a half before.

Have you read any recent articles regarding whether the vaccines are actually preventing catching covid and what the failure rate is? I’d want to know how they are deriving the statistics.

I still support vaccination, I’m just looking for information to estimate my own risk and what chances I’m willing to take.

Additionally, if you live in a state or country with very low cases, is the community still wearing masks everywhere?
