I’m beginning to wonder if these so called vaccines are worthless - well not to big pharma - but worthless in preventing covid.
Fauci ought to be put in prison for his “gain of function” crap when he figured it was worth risking a pandemic to do that Dr Mengel research. How evil can you get ...and now he has the gall to go on TV and try to tell us what to do instead of hiding in shame.

90% effective means you will still get some infections.
Much better than the flu vaccine at 50%.
Some say herd immunity comes when about 80% are immune.
Safety
The vaccine is infectious, which improves its effectiveness, but causes serious complications for people with impaired immune systems (for example chemotherapy and AIDS patients, and people with eczema), and is not yet considered safe for pregnant women. A woman planning on conceiving should not receive smallpox immunization. Vaccines that only contain attenuated vaccinia viruses (an attenuated virus is one in which the pathogenicity has been decreased through serial passage) have been proposed, but some researchers[who?] have questioned the possible effectiveness of such a vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “vaccination within 3 days of exposure will prevent or significantly lessen the severity of smallpox symptoms in the vast majority of people. Vaccination 4 to 7 days after exposure likely offers some protection from disease or may modify the severity of disease.” This, along with vaccinations of so-called first responders, is the current[when?] plan of action being devised by the United States Department of Homeland Security (including Federal Emergency Management Agency) in the United States.[citation needed]
Starting in early 2003, the United States government started a program to vaccinate 500,000 volunteer health care professionals throughout the country. Recipients were healthcare workers who would be first-line responders in the event of a bioterrorist attack. Many healthcare workers refused, worried about vaccine side effects, and healthcare systems refused to participate. Fewer than 40,000 actually received the vaccine.[29]
In May 2007, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously that a new live virus vaccine produced by Acambis, ACAM2000, is both safe and effective for use in persons at high risk of exposure to smallpox virus. However, due to the high rate of serious adverse effects, the vaccine will only be made available to the CDC (a part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services) for the Strategic National Stockpile.[30]

By their own words they do not stop infection or spread. The effectivity number is in reference to reducing symptoms. You read that right, a “vaccine” that does not stop infection or spread.
People should do themselves a solid and read up on the history of vaccines. They’re rarely 99% or more effective and many don’t even prevent infection instead only strengthening the body’s immunoresponse to the infection making it far less likely that the patient will have an adverse outcome.
The polio vaccine for instance - arguably one of the most successful vaccines in the history of vaccinations - was ‘only’ 80%-90% effective against paralytic polio. But, even in cases where the vaccine allowed infection, the vast majority of those vaccinated who still became ill, were not paralyzed. Eventually, the disease died out because vaccination rates were so high there weren’t enough hosts for the virus to thrive.
If we had PCR tests back in the day, people would have freaked out just as they’re freaking out now as some would have tested positive even though they were vaccinated.

In a sane world, the little commie SOB would be decked out in a gorgeous prison-orange jumpsuit and locked up in a solitary-confinement cell, while patiently awaiting his death penalty sentence for treason, mass murder and crimes against humanity.
A rabbit turd out in the woods has more credibility than that useless POS.
