It is beginning to sound like the vaccines either “wear off” super fast or that the body does not remember very long.

[Alas Babylon!]

Until and unless tens of thousands of vaccinated people get Covid after vaccination, you can’t say that.

It’s just not statistically true in any way.

Sometimes it’s okay to say you need more data, or do NOT identify any “trend” until more time gives more data.

...or we were never supposed to develop Coronavirus vaccines due to known problems with vaccine induced immunopathology...

Indeed. Why do you think they have to give 2 shots, and talk about booster shots? Some even suggesting every 6 months for a booster shot.

There is some data, not a lot but some out there, that show the first dose of the mRNA vaccines are about 90% effective but that it fades to the mid 60% range by week five. I suspect that is the reason for the second shot at week four. So it is reasonable, imo, to wonder if the 2nd shot doesn't fade out at some point - who knows when?

I also have no idea if the vaccines create lasting memory T-cell immunity for covid or the variants.

All that said, we're still talking about relatively small numbers. 200 people out of how many million(s) that got vaccinated in WA?

It’s being reported the Pfizer vax doesn’t work against the new African variant. Wonder if that variant has hit Washington?

More likely there are variants circulating that are more able to evade the immunity.
