    That’s the problem, other people aren’t vaccinating their kids or themselves, there is no communiy scale protection if half the community isn’t protected, and in some places in America it’s way more than half.

      That is a problem. Thankfully, you get the same immune protection when you get vaccinated, regardless of who else does. Yes, without enough people community-wide being vaccinated, your exposure will be higher, but your own immune response doesn’t change.

        And the viral load you get is higher and from a virus that had more opportunity to mutate. So in a vaccum your immune response may be the same but in reality you immune system isn’t responding to the same thing. Also idk if you missed the part where my work involves immunocompromised people, so it’s not just my protection I have to worry about.
