Better odds. When tested, for every 20 people in the control group caught the Wuhan Flu only 1 in the vaccination group caught it. That's what 95% effective means. No one said it was perfect.
“If you can develop the Chicom Cold after your COVID-19 inoculation, what good is it?”
I got measles twice, after having been vaccinated.
But the vaccination program pretty much erradicated wild measles transmission in the US anyway, by reducing transmission below replacement rates (like a population with a tiny birth rate dies out over time).
Also, out of those who are re-infected by COVID, virtually none die of it.
Just doublespeak in case you’re one of the minority who gets infected. Similar to how they said a mask wouldn’t be guaranteed to stop infection.
Yeah, what karl said. Vaccines in general just prime the immune system so the memory T-cells learn how to fight the infection and then, if you do catch the virus, it already “knows” what to do. It doesn’t mean you can’t catch or spread the disease. Just minimizes the risks of severe infection and limits “transmission times” to others if you are infected. Nothing is 100% even flu shots can sometimes be only 50% effective in any given year.
But I do have a general beef with the Fauci character and others of his ilk, and the uninquisitive media we have, for doing a crap job of explaining things to people. When people hear the word “vaccine” the common assumption is “immunity” but that’s not the case. Nor are the 2 mRNA vaccines anything like traditional vaccines. But instead of explaining it they just go on about “mandates” and “closures” and “distance” - control freak stuff.
Right. With fatality rates as low as they are, we might have been better off with big national investments in treatments - Ivermectin and others - instead of pinning everything on vaccines.
As I understand the theory behind vaccinations... you can still get sick, but the anti-bodies created by the vaccination give you a shortened recovery period. I.e. you can still get sick, but it will be milder than if you were not vaccinated.
Not to support Fauci, but this immunization is no different than any other. You can still get the flu, the mumps, the measles, shingles...
You just don’t get them as severely if you do. These vaccinations are meant to prevent serious illness, hospitalizations and death. They’re not 100% effective at totally preventing illness..
Almost no vaccine is.

The smallpox vaccine is 95% effective.
Smallpox was wiped off the face of the Earth with an imperfect vaccine.
If your friends are impressed by virtue signaling, you can impress them on Facebag. In the future, you can be proud of your participation in the human trials.
They never said you couldn’t develop it after vaccination.
Much like the Bordetella shot for dogs. Most dogs won’t get kennel cough, those that do develop kennel cough it is much less severe.
The shots are proving that those who develop covid are far less likely to need hospitalization or die.
It is still early on, but we’ll see if that holds.
