    No, it keeps the person who is vaccinated from getting sick but they can still be a carrier.

    Hello Om,

    (Currently carrier-returns are often removed upon posting my answers on the Arab / Israel dispute. (“> >” represents one blank line.))

    > > The wording of the question implies the Asker has: 

    Made up their mind about the issue about which they inquire before posting the question, and that any answers contrary to their own view, they imply are "dishonest".

    > > The only purpose that vaccination, any vaccination has, it to give immunity.

    > > We get re-infected all the time with pathogens that we have experienced previously. That is the whole purpose of immunity - to protect the body on subsequent infections of the same pathogen. Once the body has immunity to a pathogen, that pathogen whatever form it takes, will be attacked effectively by the body.

    > > When the pathogen is attacked effectively, this restricts its ability to reproduce. It is only by the pathogen multiplying itself that it can both: Cause the body harm, and become prolific enough to become capable of infecting others.

    > > While I accept that medical people have been questioning this concept in regard to the covid-19 vaccinations, it is nevertheless well accepted.

    > > Bear in mind that some people may experience a lack of the immunity they otherwise would have had, if their immune system becomes temporarily-compromised due to, for example: Malnutrition, stress, being out in the cold.

    > > > > Therefore if you do NOT have immunity to the pathogen in question (by either having survived the illness caused by it, or by having had the vaccination for it), if you are near someone who has immunity, and who has been re-infected, your risk of contracting the illness from them will depend on the efficiency of the other person's immune system, as follows: 

    > > If they (the infected person) are in general good health: Regular exercise, well-balanced healthy diet, protected against cold weather, has little stress placed upon them, and maybe even takes some vitamin and mineral supplements - 

    Your risk is lower.

    > > If on the other hand, that same person has compromised the efficiency of their immune system, by: Having little exercise, eats junk food, stays out in the cold and rain, has a lot of stress upon them, and never takes any food supplements - 

    Your risk will be higher.

    > > Therefore anyone who does not have immunity, should continue to keep social-distancing and wear an effective mask.

    Only if the other person has been vaccinated. The vaccine is just like a flu vaccine - you can still catch covid-19 but the symptoms will be MUCH less severe. Obviously if you are vaccinated, contract covid, you can pass it non-vaccinated people while you are contagious.

    No it doesn't stop transmission, or stop you catching it. Just a money making racket.

    It "protects" the person given the vaccine.

    Know some who after receiving the vaccine had no energy to move, took approximately 3 weeks to recover from its effects.

    Others had a sore arm. Some had no adverse symptoms.

    Currently there is talk of a booster third jab!

    Only when the majority have been vaccinated, are those who have not received a vaccine deemed "safe".  That's the general principle behind vaccination.

    Incidentally some who recovered from covid, upon receiving the covid vaccine died, it was thought their body had been left weaker, by the disease, unable to deal with subsequent vaccine, but it was also stated they were elderly in care homes, so maybe not representative of the population, as a whole.

    Not really, it protects YOU from the worst effects of the virus, but, as yet, there is no proof of it preventing you from shedding virus if you catch covid after being vaccinated...
