>COVID vaccines significantly reduce how many people who get exposed to COVID actually get sick.

The linked article says that Covid boosters, at least, are 26% effective. Personally, I don't call that a significantly effective treatment.

From the study:

> Booster effectiveness relative to primary series was 26·2% (95% CI 23·6–28·6) against infection and 75·1% (40·2–89·6) against severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19, during 1-year follow-up after the booster.

And then you write:

> Personally, I don't call that a significantly effective treatment.

I don’t think you’ve thought this through very well.

I'll quote OP again:

>>COVID vaccines significantly reduce how many people who get exposed to COVID actually get sick.

The boosters are 26% effective at preventing infection.

Sure, they do something if you are particularly at risk of having a bad time with Covid, but that low effectiveness at preventing infection means there isn't much argument that they did much to slow the spread of Covid.
