> we shouldn't be focusing on preventing infection.

I'm confused by what you mean. I have read headlines that say mRNA vaccines reduce the risk of infection by 91%, but it seems like you have more nuanced information from knowledgeable people. So, who should I look to to get the "real" information about what to expect from vaccines and public health?

I think these were measured shortly after reaching full vaccination status (>=14 days after second shot). That seems to be a different thing than, say, six months after vaccination.

It would be neat to see the same study ran against Omicron with people who were vaccinated 18 months ago. You know, to mirror actual reality.
