You might use your faith in "TheScience"TM to conduct your life, but for those of us paying attention to almost every public health official that told us that double dose vaccine would entirely prevent infection (something I knew was wrong before the CDC director said it) - we know they are at minimum incompetent and as such I require actual science to make decisions for myself.

They never said it would prevent infection. Find me one instance of Fauci or the head of the CDC saying that and I'll retract what I said. Sure you'll find some quack on extremes of vax/antivax but not a single scientist of any renown said "the vaccine will 100% prevent infection and sickness", you won't find it, I guarantee it but if you want to waste a few hours on google the go right ahead.

>And we have -- we can kind of almost see the end. We`re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials but it's also in real world data.

--Rochelle Walensky, Director CDC

I would recommend reflecting on what kind of bias it takes to be so confident without spending even the 30 seconds necessary to find that quote via google.
