Your take is a pretty narrow view of a multi layered thing.

The bold is not true based on studies that show that vaccinated and unvaccinated have the same viral load. (Pretty sure there was a press conference with Faucci and the CDC where they stated this. maybe I have outdated information and need to read up)
Ill give you my personal example.
90% of my family is vaccinated.
My wife, due to us trying to get pregnant is not. She is a teacher and we are concerned that it will be mandated at some point. If it is, she will take it, and we will probably wait to have kids for a bit.
Based on recommendation from our Dr, we have not taken the vaccine. Our doctor wanted additional studies to come out with regards to safety for pregnancies. Our doctor recommends that we wait for the third trimester if we do get pregnant to get it.
One of the studies can be found here:
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2104983
"Data on pregnancy loss are based on 827 participants in the v-safe pregnancy registry who received an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine (BNT162b2 [Pfizer–BioNTech] or mRNA-1273 [Moderna]) from December 14, 2020, to February 28, 2021, and who reported a completed pregnancy.
A total of 700 participants (84.6%) received their first eligible dose in the third trimester. Data on neonatal outcomes are based on 724 live-born infants, including 12 sets of multiples."
"Among 827 participants who had a completed pregnancy, the pregnancy resulted in a live birth in 712 (86.1%),
in a spontaneous abortion in 104 (12.6%), in stillbirth in 1 (0.1%), and in other outcomes (induced abortion and ectopic pregnancy) in 10 (1.2%)."
So of the 127 participants that were vaccinated prior to the third trimester, 104 of them experienced a loss before week 20.
That told us that we should wait.
Also, do you remember when they announced the JJ had some clotting issues and 6 people were affected. 1 of them was our friend (teacher from school) and we had multiple people who took the JJ (including family) that had bad experiences after they had taken (within weeks of the shot). So the JJ is out for us based on that.
But my parents took the Pfizer which seems very effective.
