Original Note:
The claim that the vaccine prevents infection was an early mistake. It was later found that it did not reduce infection, only hospitalisation, so that far fewer people were hospitalised for serious conditions. It prevented 18.5M hospitalizations and 3.2M deaths in the U.S. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2022/two-years-covid-vaccines-prevented-millions-deaths-hospitalizations
