complications that came with having the disease when it becomes severe. The protection against infection waned significantly over time with the constant emergence of new variants.

It did not prevent COVID from spreading and therefore did little to protect those around you. Biden, Fauci, and others had multiple instances of being infected with COVID. I'm pretty sure I remember Biden stating when you get the shot, COVID stops right there. So everyone needs to get the shot to stop it. Either he lied or was lied to when he made that statement.

How many people are getting COVID shots these days?

I think it was most effective for those with compromised immune systems. Particularly the elderly. Healthy kids had no need of the vaccine. I think the fact that it was promoted for kids to be vaccinated was criminal, as it was an experimental vaccine. Big pharma did profit nicely from those excesses.
