Vaccinated mom who contracted COVID-19 warns people to take virus seriously

2. From what I'm gathering from all the conflicting information

Vaccines are really good at reducing your chances of catching it dramatically. You still ~might~ catch it, but your chance of a serious life-threatening case are much less (still not zero). But if you happen to catch it, you can still be a danger to an unvaccinated person because even if you don't even know you have it, you might be carrying enough virus to pass it on.

Also, why isn't it available to children yet? I really don't think schools should open fully in person until it's available to children, and only vaccinated children should be allowed to take full in-person daily classes. (This isn't extreme. I was vaccinated for polio and measles and mumps and rubella before I was allowed to attend public school in the early 70s. This was normal at the time and parents welcomed it because they remembered people who had died or been permanently maimed by those diseases and they WANTED to make sure I was protected from that horror and totally supported protecting other children too)
