PuoskariYeah I'm aware of the protection it gives from severe disease, I'm not opposing vaccinating people who belong in the group that's at risk of getting it which are mainly older people. Mainly children, to whom so far the disease hasn't seem to been as dangerous, I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Here we have started vaccinating children between 12-17. I'm not sure how's it going around the world but I think it could be a good idea to at least wait a bit before starting vaccinating children. I understand the issue though if not enough people who belong to the risk group aren't getting the shot, the hospitals could overflow.
I think what's really important to realize that there's people who can't get the vaccine because of underlying medical conditions (e.g see this). If they also fall in the risk group (which they most likely do) they basically don't really have any options and rely on others to get vaccinated to reduce their chance of dying.
I think a lot of people are aware that this is an issue facing a lot of younger children due to the anti-vacs "movement", (there's loads of information out there if one want's to read up on it), and since COVID most likely won't "vanish" in the next couple of years (if ever) this will be an issue facing a lot of people in the future as well as currently.
Also I'm not sure if it was said but like you also mentioned there are still death cases among people who have been vaccinated but you can further reduce these cases simply by more people getting vaccinated and also wearing masks and whatnot.
In general: getting vaccinated (or wearing a mask) isn't only about protecting yourself but also very much about protecting others.
