Yes, vaccination blocks 94% of asymptomatic cases and 97% of symptomatic cases (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/11/pfizer-covid-vaccine-blocks-94percent-of-asymptomatic-infections-and-97percent-of-symptomatic-cases-in-israeli-study.html), not 100%.

No vaccine is 100% effective. The smallpox vaccine is 95% effective. The pertussis (Whooping Cough) vaccine is about 80% effective. Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles and 88% effective against mumps.

If you were in a bar with 40 people, one of whom was infected with smallpox and everyone else vaccinated, statistically speaking, you could expect 1-2 others at that bar to become infected. Still a very effective vaccine, but it’s imperfect. If everyone at the bar is vaccinated, then even if one of them has smallpox, their viral load is likely so low that no effective transmission will take place.

So you want to trot out “rare” statistics after hysteria and fear led to the complete shutdown of the country over something that is truly rare for all but a very small sub-segment of the population?

[Gene Eric]

There’s absolutely nothing suspicious about your vax advocacy.

I don’t go to bars.

[P-Marlowe]

I’m curious. You manage to post on every virus/vaccine thread on this forum. It’s like it’s your full time job to refute everyone who has concerns about the vaccines and to refute every study that doesn’t comport with Fauchi,s NIH/CDC propaganda.

What are your qualifications and what is the source of your expertise?

[Thunder90]

Remember that those numbers are on the initial strain, not the new stuff that is starting to appear.

[JerryBlackwell]

rare also the less than 0.5% mortality rate from covid but we locked down anyway

[Just mythoughts]

Exactly how and where did you become such an expert? I readily await your unmasking as to how it was you decided to descend upon FR promoting Fauci junk ascribing it to be from President Trump... Tell US from whence you come....

[RedMominBlueState]

We all know you are on the pharmaceutical payroll, so we don’t take your comments seriously.....

[SaxxonWoods]

We’ve certainly seen that with the flu vaccines over the years. Do you think this virus will continue to mutate,
produce variants, or whatever is the preferred term?

[Osage Orange]

You have pretty much NO cred anymore....Go away.

But if it really were smallpox, everyone in the bar, then everyone in in a mile radius would be vaccinated or revaccinated ASAP. The smallpox virus has a long incubation period. It was possible to vaccinate post exposure and get some level of protection. The sooner post exposure, the better. In 1947 NYC vaccinated millions of people against smallpox after some confirmed cases showed up among a couple of tourists. Only one of the tourists died.
