I don't know how anything works, but I assume vaccines cause you to produce antibodies similar to when you recover from an illness. But a lot of people have reported contracting COVID again after recovering, so is it even possible to create a vaccine for a virus that behaves like this?

If you don't understand how this picture works feel free to ask and I'll explain more. But I think SEEING it helps a lot more than being told how it works.

But in essence if you reduce how many people can get covid by having a vaccine that is 50%-80% effective than overall the spread of covid will be reduced to the point that it can't be spread anymore and it ceases to exist. Just like polio. But it requires a lot of people to be vaccinated to protect those who can't be vaccinated.
