Danger is people getting the jab then thinking they're immune. It isn't 100% and immunity takes time, plus of course these new variants.
Politicians saying when 'we'll get back to normal' are either misinformed or misleading.
I don't think I have ever seen the notion put forward that the vaccine gives anyone "immunity." The aim is that the antibodies it creates enable our immune systems to react to the virus a lot quicker thus staving off the worse effects of the covid-19 infection. If it did make us all immune then we would, in theory, be able to wipe out the virus which is not something has ever been on the table.

I would, though, love it is someone could give me a link to show that immunity via a vaccination for covid is possibly. It would certainly take away all my fears considering my immune system problems.
