Default Immunity

There are several suggestions among the replies that a C19 vaccine does not make you immune. That you can still catch it, but the symptoms will be invisible or mild. From the medical research that I've reviewed this is not true. The truth matters, because some use false reasoning to refuse the vaccine. A lower vaccination rate will reduce the rate of recovery for the lakes region's economy. Our stores and restaurants need to be busy again. Bike week is a good time for the immunized to celebrate their freedom from the pandemic, with confidence that they won't be part of a super spreader event, like Sturgis was last year.

My understanding is that over 90% of vaccinated people will fight off exposure to the Corona virus and the virus will not establish itself. Without establishment, no spreading to others and of course, no symptoms. Not catching it is different than being asymptomatic. You are not sick. You are immune. You will not test positive.

There is an up to 10% chance that vaccinated people will still catch the virus, but for most, it will be asymptomatic (positive test only) or mild. There are those that will get serious cases or enter the hospital or die, but the numbers are statistically tiny.
