When I explained how the vaccine works to an antivaxxer, they asked about the thousands of people that died right after taking the vaccine. (lemmy.ml)

that's how all of vaccines work: you can still get sick and suffer side effects even if you're vaccined, but the chances are significantly reduced, which is the whole point

The covid vaccines actually increase the chances of getting covid in certain populations. Check last two columns of Table 2 on page 13 of 41st weekly review of covid vaccination for instance. Not how vaccines are expected to work.

Compare this with say polio vaccine which reduces chances of catching to less than 0.1%.
