The vaccine that still makes you contagious and still has you get the virus.  Look at all the politicians who have got it after the vaccine.  Look at the Olympians who tested positive after being vaccinated.  Now these are the people that we know only because they are in the spotlight.  The vaccine is useless.
  

Far from useless.  Vaccination does not equal immunity.  What it does, is exponentially reduce your chance of both infection and severity.  But I haven't seen a single report of those vaccinated athletes or politicians being rushed to the hospital because of their conditions, and that is making the assumption that they are in fact infected.  This last statement is predicated on the fact that the tests only confirm presence of virus DNA, not the viability of the viral particles picked up by the test.  In other words, they don't tell you if the particles are live or dead.  I myself am a fully vaccinated Covid survivor, and I had to have an exploratory surgery postponed at the start of the summer because I tested positive for Covid.  It did not mean I had an infection, only that I had particles present in my nasal cavity.  But per the policy of the clinic, it still required a 4 week postponement.  I was able to do nasal irrigation that evening and another PCR test the following day, which came back negative.  This proved that I was not infected, as I would have continued to accumulate particles in my nasal cavities overnight and into the following day had that been the case.
