You still get covid and transmit covid if you are fully vaccinated.

It will be eventually proven that the masks never worked, that the vaccine wasn't that effective, and that ultimately our own body's immune system was and still is the best defense for foreign agents including debilitating viruses.

I dislike Trudeau as much as anyone but he's actually right. Vaccines should be either mandatory or vaccine passports should be implemented preventing people from working, traveling, or going out anywhere except to a grocery store or a pharmacy without a vaccine. Unless of course they have a medical document authorizing an exemption that they must carry with them at all times. I'm sure less than 1% of the population can be medically exempted due to severe allergies etc. At this point people that aren't vaccinated are hurting everyone not just themselves. Think of someone driving drunk. Same thing... You're putting not just your own life at risk but others' as well and it shouldn't be tolerated.

This is incorrect. You can still get infected with a vaccine and pass it on but odds are reduced by 80%... and mind you this 80% reduction doesn't consider that breakthrough infections are way more common with older people or those with compromised immune systems. Realistically it's probably like a 95% reduction...
Mask mandate is still in effect because as a society we are far from herd immunity. Canada has one of the world's highest vaccination rates and we only have 64% of the total population fully vaccinated. US is at like 51% last time I checked. We need 80% and preferably 90% of the population fully vaccinated for herd immunity and at that point masks aren't needed. There will only be isolated cases here and there but negligible community transmission.

So an unvaccinated person shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on someone that's vaccinated as they're already protected right?

The vaccine doesn't work well on the old and immunocompromised and if you choose not to get vaccinated you can infect those vulnerable groups and kill them. Or you can infect someone young who's fully vaccinated (rare breakthrough infection...) who will be just fine probably asymptomatic but then they could infect someone vulnerable. Or you can infect that small minority of people who legitimately can't get vaccinated because of a history of severe allergies to vaccine ingredients.

Exactly how many shots will you allow the govt to force you, your family, and your countrymen to take before youve had enough?
Anyone who has spent any time on this board knows that we have a mental health crisis in this country. If were going to do medical mandates why stop with vaccines - do you think the govt should mandate psych meds to people they deem mentally ill? After all it can be argued that, people who suffer depression, anxiety, bipolar, borderline... etc, are a danger to themselves and others, for the safety of everyone shouldnt they be mandated to take blue pills?

Do you have a source for your claims? This is what was posted by the CDC chief director as of August 5th 2021:
''Fully vaccinated people who get a Covid-19 breakthrough infection can transmit the virus, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
That’s why the CDC changed its guidance last week and is now recommending even vaccinated people wear masks indoors again, Walensky said.
Last week, the agency released a study that showed the Delta variant produced similar amounts of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated people if they got infected – data that suggests vaccinated people who get a breakthrough infection could have a similar tendency to spread the virus as the unvaccinated.''

"If they got infected..."
Breakthrough infections are still rare. And again you're ignoring the impact of demographics. Older people and immunocompromised people don't get as much protection from vaccines and account for the vast majority of breakthrough infections. But they aren't the ones moving around and spreading it to hundreds of people the way young people are. That's why it's important to increase vaccine uptake in younger people.
"Delta variant... could have a similar tendency..."
So one variant could (not necessarily does) spread similarly... and again breakthrough cases are rare. Unvaccinated people are much more likely to carry the virus in the first place.
If you said vaccinated people still may spread the virus, I'd agree but to say the vaccines don't prevent spread is incorrect. They don't completely prevent spread but they still greatly minimize it especially from younger individuals with strong immune systems.
Lots of people take words like "could" or "may" and take it to mean "always does".

It's not that it doesn't work properly. It's just that old people have poor health in general because of a weakened immune system. The vaccine doesn't work as well for them but it still works. Like I said, breakthrough infections in young people are very rare.
People worried about the vaccine being thoroughly tested for safety don't understand how vaccines work. A vaccine simply contains an antigen or in case of mRNA vaccines the instruction for the body to make the antigen. An antigen is a protein from the virus that makes your body recognize it as a foreign object and within 2-3 weeks build antibodies against it so when the real virus infects you, the antibodies are already there to swiftly destroy the virus. As opposed to 2-3 weeks after infection by which time you can already be severely ill or die. Since the antigen is just a protein and not a live virus, it cannot give you COVID. Of course, the vaccine also contains adjuvants and fillers that can cause severe allergies in a very small number of people but those allergens aren't unique to the COVID vaccine and are found in all vaccines including all the mandatory ones people have to get as kids to go to school. If you have a history of severe allergies obviously don't get the COVID vaccine before speaking to a doctor. But probably less than 1% of the population shouldn't get it for those reasons and have a valid exemption.
Again the way vaccines in general work (not just the COVID vaccine) makes the safety talk moot. Vaccines are very safe for 99+% of people. Period.
As for vaccine efficacy, we can already see it. The UK has a similar caseload as the last wave. They are averaging under 100 deaths per day. Last wave they were at 1200+ deaths per day. Admittedly some of the decrease is because of more younger people getting sick in this wave but the mortality rate even correcting for age is likely still 80% to 90% lower even with the Delta variant now. And there's also the aspect that the UK economy is fully open now giving much more chance of spread compared to the last wave which occurred under lockdown. If the economy was fully open during the 3rd wave cases and therefore deaths might have been many times higher.

What is your definition of rare?
Breakthrough cases in Israel, the country with the fastest vaccine rollout and one of the highest vaccination rate:
What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, 514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19, a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 87% were 60 or older. “There are so many breakthrough infections that they dominate and most of the hospitalized patients are actually vaccinated,” says Uri Shalit, a bioinformatician at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) who has consulted on COVID-19 for the government. “One of the big stories from Israel [is]: ‘Vaccines work, but not well enough.’”
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta
Even in the USA the CDC conveniently stopped keeping track of all Covid breakthrough cases when the Delta variant started taking over. As of May 1st, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported vaccine breakthrough cases to focus on identifying and investigating only hospitalized or fatal cases due to any cause.
At the time, the agency had identified only 10,262 cases across the U.S. where a fully vaccinated person had tested positive for Covid. Most people who got infected after vaccination showed few symptoms, and appeared to be at low risk of infecting others.
But in the months since, the number of vaccine breakthrough cases has grown, as has the risk that they present. And while the CDC has stopped tracking such cases, many states have not. Bloomberg gathered data from 35 states and identified 111,748 vaccine breakthrough cases through the end of July, more than 10 times the CDCÂ’s end-of-April tally.

From the Bloomberg article you posted:
New York state’s Department of Health has identified 11,025 vaccine breakthrough cases as of July 19. The proportion of breakthrough cases remains tiny — about 0.18% of vaccinated people.
Here is another link: https://www.livescience.com/what-are-breakthrough-covid-infections.html
An internal CDC presentation that was leaked estimated the rate of symptomatic breakthrough infections to be about 35,000 per week among 162 million fully vaccinated people in the U.S., as of July 24, Live Science previously reported. In the week leading up to July 24, around 384,000 people tested positive for COVID-19, which would suggest that at that time, less than 10% of new cases were breakthrough infections.
Less than 10% of new cases are fully vaccinated even though vaccinated individuals are around 50% of the US population.
And more importantly from the same article:
One thing that is clear is that severe breakthrough infections are very rare: As of Aug. 2, a little less than 0.005%, or 1 in 20,000 fully vaccinated people in the U.S., have gotten breakthrough infections severe enough to lead to hospitalization or death. Moreover, just 7 in 1 million fully vaccinated people have died as a result of COVID-19, according to data the CDC has collected from state and local health departments. Those data show unequivocally that the best way to protect yourself from the coronavirus is to get vaccinated.
No vaccination, no freedom bitches!
