You're approximately half as likely to get infected (and therefore become infectious) if you're vaccinated. Especially when the R0 is already hovering near 2, vaccines can mean the difference between COVID dying out in your area and COVID rampaging through the area, developing mutant strains as it goes. So your claim ("Vaccines won't help _at all_ if your immune system is completely compromised by other health issues.") is false.


You are making up statistics. The fact is that the only thing that protects the body _is_ the immune systems.

Vaccines do _not_ work on their own. They work _with_ the immune system.

Therefore, if the immune system is compromised (for _any_ reason) vaccines are worthless.
