That's just not true. The shots significantly decrease the chance that you'll get COVID. They also significantly decrease the chance that you'll spread COVID. This is most clear via the lower likelihood of infection. (You can't spread it if you don't have it.)

Sure, the shots are not 100% effective. They were never claimed to be. That doesn't mean they are not very effective. They are.
