Current RNA vaccines protect against worrying coronavirus variants

Vaccines are not 100% effective, some people cannot take the vaccine (known allergic reactions, immunocompromised, ...) and continued spread of the virus can create new mutations.

It isn't 100%, no. But I am not sure what you are suggesting then.

If you get the vaccine and are still scared and angry at people that may not have received it, there aren't many options for you aside from indefinite total lock-down.

Herd immunity. If enough people get vaccinated R0 gets under 1, and the spread stops by itself also protecting those who cannot get the vaccine or are unlucky that the vaccine does not work for them. They are protected by the herd.
