With all of the vaccines you CAN still catch Covid
With the Pfizer or Moderna 2 shot vaccine there is a 95% chance you will have ZERO symptoms and not even know you are sick. There is a 5% chance of mild to moderate sickness. There is an almost 0% percent chance of death or hospitalization. (But it can happen)
The numbers are very different with the J&J.. 65% chance of no symptoms, 35% of mild to moderate symptoms. Very similar in deaths & hospitalizations.

Obviously as more mutant strains appear the numbers may be much lower... hence the idea of booster shots floating around.

You are both comparing apples and oranges.
The J&J was developed LATER and tested over a wider range of regions and with newer variants.
It was so effective they felt it didn't need a "boost". Where the other vaccines didn't do as well over less variants and smaller trials but better numbers with TWO shots.
Bottom line is, they are all very good and only time will tell how they hold up if (or I should say when) the new variants hit. But it's really hard to compare them unless they were all tested under the same conditions at the same time.
