To my best knowledge, there is no data evidence that the vaccines do prevent the transmission of the delta and Omicron (Please fix if I was wrong). The effect of reduce the mortality rate is LINEAR. A simple calculation suggests that the LINEAR contribution could be dominate by the transmission rate increase due to the exponential effects. In other words, the life saving due to the vaccine is not comparable to the more life loss due to the transmission rate increase.
Thus, the priority of the policy should be reduce the transmission, instead of the linear factors. Am I wrong?
Understand the exponential function: R0 of the COVID

By the way, I am not anti-vaccine.
