We have allowed people to travel back from India knowing that there is a dire situation over there.
The borders should have been closed weeks ago.

You are right when you say that people who choose to have the vaccination do so because they have determined their own risk....and that is how it should be.
If you have felt safer being vaccinated then it is the right thing for you.
What gets me is that there are some who would make vaccination mandatory.

If you believe that the vaccination works then anyone who is unvaccinated poses no risk to you.
If you do not believe it will protect you....then why would you want everyone to have a vaccine that does not protect?

A vaccinated person may still acquire this infection....and may also transmit it.....and that is according to the literature produced by the manufacturer.

The only vaccines that use inactivated particles of the virus to stimulate an immune response are the Valneva vaccine and the Sinopharm(also marketed as Coronavac).
This iis the nature of previous vaccines....polio, smallpox etc.
