If vaccines truly worked, there would be no need for the vaccinated to worry about the unvaccinated. The "herd immunity argument" defies logic.

OK then. Let's discuss this. So you don't get vaccinated, I do. You get sick, and there is a chance I will too. But my body would better handle the infection than yours. Not only that but if you get sick with something I was not vaccinated for it is even worse.
Herd immunity is what protects those who *can't* be vaccinated.
The more people who are vaccinated, the less likely the entire "herd" will get sick, as well.
Not to mention that it's easier for 20 people to stay home when sick than it is for 200.
A. Herd immunity protects those who cant be vaccinated. B. It protects those whose immune systems arent working. C. Vaccination isnt perfect, it just greatly lowers the chance depending on the vaccination, some might reduce the chance to being almost non existent, while some, like many influenza vaccinations, cut the chance by around half.

Hello, Nirvana Fallacy!
On the other hand, of course, EsotericalExposal's snake oil of choice only works if you believe in it (and if you die anyways, that just means that you must not have believed hard enough ), but that is something compleeetly diifferent.
okay, what YOU”RE saying is ‘if a vaccine was truly magical with protections far beyond any offererd by immunologists’ discusson of vaccination,’ then there would be no such thing as herd immunity or concerns about holes in herd immunity.
