Over a long enough timeline, the likelihood of both vaccinated and unvaccinated people catching SARS-CoV-2 (the virus) is essentially 100%. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe COVID-19 (the clinical disease) symptoms, at least for a while.

We are pretty much in agreement. My point was that the OPs statement that there is no point in getting a vaccine if you are not going to get COVID was nonsense.
