Reply to comment by Jam5quares in A study in the US has found, compared to unvaccinated people, protection from the risk of dying from COVID during the six-month omicron wave for folks who had two doses of an mRNA vaccine was 42% for 40- to 59-year-olds; 27% for 60- to 79-year-olds; and 46% for people 80 and older. by Wagamaga
If you think it's binary, and you're either at risk or not at risk, then this question would be valid. However, it's not binary. "Protected" doesn't need to mean 100% protected to still be protected. Wearing a seatbelt protects you in a crash, but it doesn't mean you can't die while wearing a seatbelt.

Well, according to the numbers, 50-75% more protected. So yeah, that's lap belt, shoulder belt, and airbags.
