The (huge) difference is that vaccination makes it far less likely that I will infect others, putting them in danger of anything from inconvenience to mild illness to severe illness to death.
Says who? The data out of several countries suggests the vaccines aren't nearly as great at preventing infections. Especially after a few months. I'd much rather be in a room of people with negative test than a room for of people that's been vaxxed for half a year.
Say the federal, state, and local public health officials, virologists, epidemiologists, prominent chemist and professional biologist, emergency room nurses, hospital administrators, clergy, coroners, medical examiners, and funeral home directors I have talked to in professional or personal life. I've sat in a room full of people who recently had tested negative, and some of them got sick afterward - whether due to false negatives or because someone touched a door handle at the airport on the way to the meeting.
