And, if you look at Pfizer’s own study they say it reduces the risk by .7% vs no shot.

That's the absolute risk reduction ARR. That's low because few people get COVID. The RRR is how effective the vaccine is and the RRR is in the 90's. That means the shot itself is very effective. But the shot might not be necessary and is certainly not necessary for everyone or for anyone in particular. Needs to be individual case by case.

Would be helpful if the ARR was presented for age groups.
Though any positive ARR is good.

However, by increasing the cycle counts to insure lots o f positives (90% more than actual), the need for the shot is dramatically reduced. The risk for most is very small for most vs injecting an experimental jab.
