WRONG!
It is to prevent you from getting terribly sick. I don't care what these "CDC directors" say. It is about protecting the patient, and not about protecting the non-patient. This is the fucking folly of the Millennial people in power now. It is very surprising.
Because THEY got shots as children not to prevent others from getting sick, but to prevent themSELVES from getting sick.
This is what Social Media has done to people with no mind of their own.
Actually the purpose of vaccination is both. To stop you as an individual from getting severely ill and to stop you from getting infected & transmitting the disease to others. In fact the measurement of efficacy of a vaccine is based on both factors.
