It also doesn't mean you won't be hospitalised.
The thing that WILL happen is the virus will spread, enough people getting it (remember exponential growth), unvaccinated folks (remember, children! who might be more susceptible to delta) will end up in the hospital. There's more than enough unvaccinated folks for uncontrolled spread to be disastrous.
The other thing that COULD happen is that the virus could acquire a mutation to avoid the vaccine defence, and we'll start this whole thing over again.
Uncontrolled spread is a bad idea....a very bad idea.
