Dr. Anthony Fauci similarly declared on a Zoom call with TikTokers that if they got vaccinated, they wouldn’t have to worry about catching COVID-19.
I am NOT checking the source but will accept that as a Fauci quote. Fauci could have been more clear.

"if they got vaccinated then they wouldn’t have to worry about catching COVID-19"
- If you get vaccinated
---- you have a very good chance of not getting infected at all, so don't worry about catching COVID-19.
---- you have a very good chance of not getting infected to the point of having detectable disease, so don't worry about catching COVID-19.
---- you have a very good chance of not getting infected, but if you do, the severity of your infection will be much less than if you didn't get vaccinated, and you will recover and feel better soon, so don't worry about catching COVID-19.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9008265/ Association of COVID-19 Vaccination and Clinical Severity of Patients Infected with Delta or Omicron Variants.
"The proportions of fully vaccinated serious cases in the 18–59 year and ≥60-year age groups were lower than age-group-respective unvaccinated cases; full vaccination was associated with 83% and 69% lower risk of becoming severe."
---- you have a very good chance of not getting infected, but if you do, you have only a very small probability of dying from COVID compared to NOT getting vaccinated, 0.1/100,000 versus 1.71/100,000. That's a ratio of 1 to 17.1, so don't worry about catching COVID-19.

If you do NOT get vaccinated, your chances of DYING from COVID-19 are 17.1 times greater than if you DO get vaccinated. WORRY about that if you do not get vaccinated.

NOW do you understand what he meant by "wouldn't have to worry"?
