It's only listed as being 95% effective...so an occasional story like this shouldn't be a surprise. Having worked in academic medicine for 25 years I know that there are *no* guarantees in medicine.

The real test is to see what percentage of those who've been fully vaccinated wind up in the hospital...or on a ventilator...or dead.

The real test is to see how many people can’t travel or get fired for their beliefs in their own health.

It isn’t a “vaccine” in the true sense of the word. Studied in Israel and other places show that the shot does help to reduce the symptoms a lot.

Other things also have been shown to reduce the symptoms.

Actually one of them is .7 and the other 1.5 percent effective. That 95 % percent is one they keep pushing and not the actual smaller figure. It’s on theCDC site. I’ll have to find it again.

“It’s only listed as being 95% effective...so an occasional story like this shouldn’t be a surprise. “

I guess my wife’s heathy co-worker testing positive two weeks after second dose should not be a surprise. She got sick enough to seek a doctor’s help. I imagine without the shot she would have gotten just as sick. Only time will tell if the Vaccine is really effective. It is hard to tell.

Very few people who are infected required a hospital or ventilator. Is this truly a test?

The mentality is, it has to work 100% for everyone or else it is “fake”.
