I didn't get the vaccine early on, and I didn't get it that whole time, til Jr went back to school in 2021, then he got it and brought it home to me and i did get 2x from that and was already vaccinated by that point as well.
So my opinion is that it was rushed, and wasn't as effective and we were led to believe, but each to his own there.
You may have misunderstood what the vaccines were expected to do.
Medical experts expected the vaccine to reduce the number of people who got sick,
and among those who got sick, to reduce the severity of the disease.
That's why mortality rates were higher among those who did not get the vaccine. E.g., in Europe, deaths were
reduced 57% between Dec. 2020 and March 2023. 1.4 million lives saved.

232,000 deaths could have been prevented in the US during the same time period, but were not for lack of vaccination.

The "rush" to create vaccines saved lives. Anti-vaxx propaganda cost lives.
