"That's an efficacy rate of 99.999."

Not far from the non-vax survival rate (for healthy people). Just sayin'.

A 99.9999 efficacy rate for a virus with a 99.7% survival rate. But there are still mask mandates.

What’s the breakthru rate for COVID-19 positive people who have recovered?

Ugur Sahin, BioNTech’s chief executive and co-founder, told reporters on Wednesday that the vaccine his company created with Pfizer will likely require a third booster shot due to data showing a weaker immune response over time in people who received the vaccine, the Associated Press reported.

According to studies, the efficacy of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine drops from 95% to 91% after six months. Sahin said people who receive two doses of the vaccine should get the third dose nine to 12 months after the first shot.

“Accordingly, we need a third shot to get the vaccine protection back up to almost 100% again,” Sahin said. “And then I expect it will probably be necessary to get another booster every year or perhaps every 18 months.”

“99.999%”

Uh... no that’s not at all what that means. If every last soul who wasn’t vaccinated came down with the disease in that time period, that would be 99.9% Since about 1 in 20 did, that makes it about 95%. And that would be if everyone got vaccinated exactly on 1/1.

“In those totals, released on Friday, April 30, more than 95 million Americans were fully vaccinated as of Monday, April 26. Of those nearly 100 million fully vaccinated people, only 9,245 became infected with so-called vaccine breakthrough cases. That’s an efficacy rate of 99.999.”

We don’t know the number exposed nor their exposure amount.

At the improbable extreme, only 9,245 were exposed thus yielding ZERO.

Keep in mind, only about 10-20% of those who COVID ever even notice that they’ve had it. So multiply that number by five or ten.

5,827 + 4245 != 9,245, and what about under 60 years old? 63%+45% != 100%. not sure what to exactly take away from this article.

What they aren’t revealing is that the breakthrough cases are more likely to be hospitalized.
