The transmission rate is what made COVID dangerous, but the vaccine didn't stop the spread at all.

1% mortality over 1 billion ppl is 10 million deaths

As opposed to a more dangerous pathogen where you may have 5% mortality over 10 million ppl, which leads to 500k deaths. Fairly large difference of 9.5 million deaths.

It absolutely did curb the spread by reducing viral load in hosts who were vaccinated. But you'd know that if you knew how to do anything besides weaponize statistics. Or is it just a coincidence that there hasn't been another significant wave in the last few months since mass vaccination?
