The vaccines, however, have a 100% effective rate in clinical studies for preventing a debilitating infection.

I think it's worth emphasizing the compounding effects of the vaccine.  Covid is transmitted at a higher rate as an individual becomes more 'debilitated', releasing more of the virus into the air through coughing and struggling to catch their breath.
