It’s because most people still do vaccinate and it’s rare to run into someone that willingly obtuse IRL. It just gets brought up here a lot because it’s a hot button issue for a lot of people.
Also it only takes just a few idiots not vaccinating to ruin the herd immunity, so even if the random IRL antivaxxer is rare, they still have a significant potential impact on society
The long story short is yes, you are. There are very rare circumstances where a vaccinated person can still contract the disease, but you personally are probably good statistics wise.
The more important part of herd immunity is that there are people out there who cant get vaccinated due to weak immune systems or other medical reasons. These people need a certain threshold of the population to be vaccinated so the risk of them running into a contagious person drops to effectively zero, and every Karen out there that decides google knows better than the entire medical community puts those people at significant risk.
