Reply to comment by icelandichorsey in New evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ immunity, the result of both vaccination and a bout of COVID-19, can provide partial protection against reinfection for at least eight months. Immunity acquired by booster vaccination alone seems to fade somewhat faster. by MistWeaver80

The virus won't mutate in a vaccinated person? Plenty of vaccinated people are getting sick with COVID, some seriously.

Of course. Vaccinated people get sick less because the virus doesn't get established in them. That's how vaccines work.

Vaccinated people are less likely to get sick and less likely to spread it if they get infected

No, it doesn’t. The reason vaccinated people are getting sick is because the virus mutates in unvaccinated hosts then it jumps. If we had a vaccine mandate like we almost had then none of this would ever happen. I like Biden but to me that is his biggest blunder. We overnight just quietly drew back all the requirements because a couple alt right man babies cried a little too hard.

Of course it can. The point is to get enough immunity for the virus to simply have nowhere to mutate. Unfortunately that ship sailed long ago.
