The Covid vaccine is more akin to a flu shot than a vaccine like Mumps, Diphtheria, Polio etc. It does not stop you from either getting or transmitting the virus. So, comparing it to mandatory vaccines, that actually prevent the disease entirely in the vast majority of recipients (99% plus) is not fair or accurate.
While the vaccines do not provide 100% protection against infection or transmission, they do reduce the rate of both. Your statement is false based on the studies. The rate of protection may not be the same, but they do provide that protection.
