Your analysis is incorrect. It was never expected to be more than 95% effective at eliminating the disease. It WAS expected, though, of reducing the severity of the disease in all who received it.
Yes but healthy athletes in their 20s and early 30/s have a stupidly low risk from the virus itself anyway so it’s in no way proof
The article says the vaccine “worked” because most of the infected team personnel had no symptoms, and none of them was hospitalized. There’s no way in hell the moron who wrote the article — or the quack doctor quoted in it — can know with any degree of certainty that the symptoms would have been more serious if they HADN’T been vaccinated.
The first major pro athlete to get COVID was that NBA clown who contracted it after he ran around licking microphones at a press conference in early 2020. His symptoms were mild and he wasn’t hospitalized. Using the logic presented by the dopes who peddled this silly article, that must mean that being a tall black athletic dude is the same as getting a vaccine.
