No, you’re not “immune” w/ a Covid vaccination. You will have an immune response, & hopefully a decent one. But each infection still does damage and depending on the vaccine you chose, it may not hold as well as another option & there’s still viral seeding, multiple infections, vaxx waning, etc…

I can go in detail in a bit. I’ll come back and do a thread on this.

I've always put it in the lay terms.. The vax keeps you likely off off a ventilator the rest is still the chance and it does very little for long covid... you want to stop long covid. wear a fit tested respirator. that's your best bet.

Vaccines do not stop COVID infection or spread. They prevent severe illness and death. When you are vaccinated, you still get the virus and it still damages your brain, etc. You will still get one of 200 long COVID issues at some point. Acute HIV is also mild. Respirators prevent infection/spread.
