This is a RELATIVE reduction, not an absolute one. The ABSOLUTE reduction in transmission is about 1% for this and the other “vaccines”

Correct.

“in the world of drug advertising, the word “effective” does not mean what you think it means. The other way to look at effectiveness is this: Based on the numbers released from phase 3 trials, the Pfizer vaccine is 95% effective, but 1% of the time. In the same way, the Moderna vaccine is 94% effective, but 2% of the time.”

Of course the higher reduction is relative. That means the vaccine works for exposed / high risk group people. The small absolute risk reduction means that natural immunity and vaccination have reduced the spread of the disease to where people are unlilely to get it.

Here's a simple example. The absolute risk reduction from the Ebola vaccine is tiny, about a thousandth of a percent. Does that mean you don;t need the Ebola shot before your canoe camping trip on the Ebola river? No, you'll need that along with malaria, hepatitis, etc. Your colloidal silver and quinine isn't going to cut it. And you'll be quarantined when you return.
