If the vaccinated can still catch the virus, spread the virus, and even die from it how are we to know who's actually spreading it. Sounds like a catch 22 to me. I mean that's basically saying you're an unvaccinated because you can get it, spread it and die from it just like a non vaccinated person. But of course it's all of the ppl that are unvaccinated taking the blame. How rich
