Re: New COVID requirements in force January 9, 2023 to January 31
Of course one can cherry pick information from the net but this is the immediate thing that came up when I asked if flu vaccines prevented flu:
"While vaccine effectiveness (VE) can vary, recent studies show that flu vaccination reduces the risk of flu illness by between 40% and 60% among the overall population during seasons when most circulating flu viruses are well-matched to those used to make flu vaccines".

That exactly I wrote: "prevent illness", meanwhile vaccinated patient will sill be carrier of virus and will spread it around. But will have no illness and will have no symptoms.

I bow to your superior knowledge presumably gained through years of studying immunology and virology OR are you just a 'know it all'?

My husband is MD exactly in immunology and virology, so in almost 20 years I got a lot of knowledge from him, especially at time of quarantine.
