The ship with the idea, that you vaccine to less likely infect others, has long passed?
I have no idea about that...I knew that it was up for question but haven't paid any attention to the research. I was more talking about people with the vaccine being less likely to need hospitalisation.

You piqued my curiosity. Just came across this paper:

Authorized mRNA vaccines were highly effective among working-age adults in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection when administered in real-world conditions, and the vaccines attenuated the viral RNA load, risk of febrile symptoms, and duration of illness among those who had breakthrough infection despite vaccination. (Funded by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)

A few weeks ago I had a chat with a young woman working at Sainsburys in New Cross Gate. She didn't see the point in having the vaccine because "you can have it and still get covid". When I explained to her that the whole point is that if you have the vaccine, you get it less badly and therefore are less likely to be a strain on hospitals, she had no idea and genuinely seemed surprised by what I just told her. It just didn't dawn on her that this is about something bigger than herself.
