What if it's a 99% reduction, 90%, 80%?
What's the magic number where it would be worthwhile to get the vaccine and reduce infections across society?
Honest question as I can't understand this position.

I don't think there really is a magic number but I'm just trying to point out that the vaccine is not our golden ticket to safety and security. It definitely helps reduce the risk amongst the vaccinated and general population but it doesn't mean that we are in the clear. I see people saying things along the lines of getting vaccinated so that they can protect their immunocompromised friends or family during visits and I'm not always sure if they are aware that they can still pick up the virus and spread it.
Obviously I would love it if the vaccine fully protected us against infection so that we can completely relax and let down our guards. I'm honestly beginning to become quite concerned about the ongoing ability of the vaccines to limit infection and spread. I'm not concerned about the effectiveness to provide protection against hospitalization but I'm worried that governments might overreact to growing case numbers and start implementing restrictive measures again.
