OK, the reply from the Pfizer vaccine supporters would be - the first dose will not guarantee protection against being infected. You need TWO DOSES as required to get full protection. DOES IT?

I recall reading that from the first shot, it takes 28 days to have a 84% chance of immunity. The second shot brings the chances up to 95% after a number of additional days.

That's why these news stories about people getting COVID not too long after getting a shot, really aren't news.

Unfortunately that’s misinformed...

The 95% efficacy that’s being thrown around has literally nothing to do with immunity to the virus. What’s being touted is that after the second shot the vaccine is 95% effective in causing the creation of proteins that should trigger an immune response.

How effective that will be in protecting the vaccinated against the virus has not been determined.
