Data from Israel shows that the Pfizer vaccine blocks 94% of asymptomatic COVID-19 infections and 97% of symptomatic infections. (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/11/pfizer-covid-vaccine-blocks-94percent-of-asymptomatic-infections-and-97percent-of-symptomatic-cases-in-israeli-study.html)

So yes, it does block infection. But like every vaccine, it does not do so perfectly. The smallpox vaccine is 95% effective. The whooping cough vaccine is about 80% effective. If Pfizer blocks 97% of COVID-19 infections, that means 3% get through (for various reasons, mostly compromised immune systems). 3% of the US population is 10 million and 6% is 20 million. But that leaves 320 million who would be spared symptomatic COVID-19 and 310 million spared any COVID-19 at all. Those numbers aren’t exact to our situation because infections have already happened in a lot of people, but it gives an idea of how that 3% scales when you apply it to large populations.

Breakthrough cases are fully expected. In fact, they’ve been lower than expected so far, which is good news.

“Data from Israel shows that the Pfizer vaccine blocks 94% of asymptomatic COVID-19 infections and 97% of symptomatic infections.”

That doesn’t even make any sense. What is that supposed to mean?

How can anyone know exactly how many “infections” these experimental substances “block?” And what does it mean to “block” an infection? Does that mean that an exposed person doesn’t develop the disease? If they don’t get the disease, how do you know they were exposed? (In real life; not the lab.)

These arguments for the “effectiveness” of the experimental substances are gibberish. If it were true, one should be able to make a case for that with a few simple statements.

The vaxx improves Absolute Risk of getting MILD covid by only 0.46%:
“The only reported indication of vaccine effectiveness is the Israeli mass vaccination campaign using the Pfizer–BioNTech product. Although the design and methodology are radically different from the randomised trial, Dagan and colleagues report an RRR of 94%, which is essentially the same as the RRR of the phase 3 trial (95%) but with an ARR of 0·46%”

But employers are forcing this on their employees.

Your dedication to tyranny is helping them do this.
