It's kinda implied when you hear 'fully vaccinated people do not require a mask'. I think that it's a bit of a stretch to come to the conclusion that that implies the vaccine is a magic bullet, but I have been surprised IRL by people who really do think that and would expect to be completely immune after getting a few mRNA shots. I was not surprised by their annoyance at learning that wasn't the case.

I think you are coming from a place of having a bit more knowledge than the absolute minimum you'd pick up through osmosis by never doing any research or due diligence. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that awareness campaigns deliberately ignored facts that might make the vaccine sound less appealing. It's hard to make good decisions if you don't really have a full picture.
