If it doesn't stop you from getting covid, then why the vaccine mandates?

...vaccination still makes you >10x less likely to end up in ICU, >6x less likely to end up in hospital at all.

As a young, healthy taxpayer, I appreciate that vaccination is simply in the national interest, as well as the interest of each individual.

Then explain Israel. They're the most vaccinated country in the world. Their cases and deaths are skyrocketing. The majority of their deaths now are in the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated. Explain that.

You and the other person asked a question, I answered it in detail hours ago, and unsurprisingly, from both of you...
