If the vaccine helps stop the spread, I agree with you, but if this recent info from the CDC is correct then that changes it for me.
This is what I’m beginning to think as well. Again, I’m not anti vaxx. But what is being released now is saying that getting the vaccine ultimately will keep you out of the hospital. That’s it. So even the patriots that have the vaccine can still spread it. So in the end it’s a personal choice.

When I see data that suggests to me that that vaccine anti bodies are better for me than the anti bodies that I currently have from actually having covid then I will most likely get it. Until then I don’t see the benefit of me getting it to anyone around me.
