People need to stop saying that the vaccines are not meant to prevent illness, only to prevent hospitalization and death. Most people don't think they're at risk to be hospitalized, so why should they get it if that's the case?
Because it does reduce chances of getting sick at all. It does reduce the severity of illness if you do. It does reduce transmission. It does reduce your chances of getting long covid or long-term health problems. It's far from perfect, but the benefit is significant.
