London — A study conducted in the U.K. offers some of the first large-scale, real-world data on how well vaccination protects people against catching a "breakthrough" COVID-19 infection, and how well it protects breakthrough patients from becoming seriously ill. The results are encouraging.
The peer-reviewed study published Wednesday in The Lancet medical journal will help policy makers and epidemiologists fill in a significant gap in the understanding of the true efficacy of three of the major vaccines being used worldwide....
The data, gathered from December 8, 2020, through July 4, 2021, show that of more than 1.2 million adults who received a first dose, fewer than 0.5% reported contracting breakthrough infections two weeks or more after getting the jab. Among those who got both shots, fewer than 0.2% experienced a breakthrough infection a week or more after getting their second shot.
"Among those who did experience a breakthrough infection, the odds of that infection being asymptomatic increased by 63% after one vaccine dose and by 94% after the second dose," the study's authors wrote in The Lancet....

well, you went around everything i said but i’ll answer yours directly...
“no vaccines give 100% protection against infection.”
>>so what? that’s a vacuous argument. nothing gives 100% protection. we are all going to physically die eventually and often because the the eventual failure of our own immune system against some bug.
again. the point of a vaccine is to give, as God given, layered, super complex, natural immunity, which develops after birth through a series of infections and survivals (recall mom’s protection is conferred at birth), and effectively ***recognition*** of the pathogen and the reaction being fast enough to destroy the pathogen or render it inert, POTENTIALLY FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS OR EVEN DECADES in a functioning immune system.
“the objective of any vaccine is to prevent serious illness and death. Which these vaccines are doing nicely in those without pre-existing and/or age related issues”
>>even the vaccine manufacturer’s purpose of vaccine statements contradict you. you should read some of them. any way that’s what therapeutics and treatments are designed to do—cure disease. vaccines don’t do that. vaccines to lesser or greater degrees to the extent they are non-leaky ***may*** and hopefully do that for a long period of time by ***preventing*** infection through “tricking” the immune system into recognizing the pathogen before natural vector infection.
“leaky immune system in that even “natural immunity” is tricked by escape mechanisms developed by the virus”
again there is no such concept i’ve seen in the literature. an immune system as a whole or in pieces can function or not function. or it can over-react. which is apparently happening in many cases where people die directly of this virus. certainly you don’t mean that that is the meaning of “leaky” which would be nonsense.
sorry bud. unconvinced by anything you’ve posted here. but i see why we disagree. have the last word if you want.
I would not believe a word printed in Lancet. It is essentially a socialist reset publication that supports the NWO and Klaus Schwabs view of euthanasia.
