This is like saying "Im done wearing a bullet proof vest as it only prevents certain types of gunshot wounds, is uncomfortable to wear and not fashionable."

I understand you always wear a bullet proof vest when you go outside?

Your dedication to your personal safety is commendable, but I hope you do realize that most people have reasons not to wear bullet proof vests.

Are most people expected to wear a bulletproof vest under normal conditions?

Fun times when people get shamed for not wearing a bulletproof vest to go to the grocery store.

Depends on your line of work. If you choose to ride a bike, you should probably wear a helment. If you want to be on a swat team, a bulletproof vest is also a good idea...
Plenty of people get shot without being on a SWAT team. Why shouldn't everybody wear bullet proof vests?
