A couple of misconceptions to clear up.
It's a vaccine, not a "vaccine".
It's not experimental. We aren't test subjects. mRNA has been used successfully in cancer treatment for about a decade and this same vaccine was developed, tested, and shelved after SARS abated. Hundreds of millions of doses have been given successfully.
In all likelihood, it probably does prevent transmission, as early studies done in Israel (who had a vaccinated population) show it is highly effective in preventing asymptomatic transmission. The final, peer reviewed studies in the US are expected in the next couple of months. In the meantime, though, we are being told to act like it doesn't because safety, I guess.
I am not for, nor will I ever be for, mandatory vaccines. Make your own choice. Own it, though, and prepare for any negative consequences that result.

I told him, who better to have a "vaccine" for a virus that you perfected in a lab than the creators themselves.....somehow that did not abate his apprehensions.

This reminds me of a quote: “You may think the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, but if you took the time to water your own grass and use 19-19-19 Fertilizer, you’d find that your grass would be just as green.” Abraham Lincoln addressing Unit 1221-July, 1863

Scott’s Southern Lawn Turfbuilder. Anything with a herbicide in it weakens the grass, I’ve found. I live with the dollar weed and early spring weeds. The grass smothers all that out come May when it finally decides to get off its a$$ and start to grow.
Also, we have watering restrictions which limit us to two weekly waterings. I have learned that that’s nowhere near enough.
So I’m kind of a gangsta when it comes to my grass.

Mmmm, that quote was Patton in '44.
Lincoln quote is:
Four score and seven gardens ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new lawn, conceived in lushness, and dedicated to the proposition that all grasses are created equal.

Natural grass?!?! That went the way of horse and buggy and dinosaurs. Frass Grass....beautiful artificial turf, good enough for MLB good enough for any yard. Love mine! Not as great an invention as vaccines or “vaccines” as some of you say it, but it’s a game changer nevertheless.

Apologies for misquoting Lincoln. You are correct.
