Is this vaccine a vaccine at all?
In a good year, flu vaccines are about 40 to 50 percent effective at reducing the risk of infection.
Smallpox was eliminated with a 95% effective vaccine. It took two decades and nearly 100% global compliance for a 95% effective vaccine to stop the chain of infection. The V penetration rate needed for a 95% effective vaccine to stop the RT to extinction levels was 90% penetration that was exceeded world wide. While the smallpox eradication program was in progress tens of thousands still contracted smallpox and thousands died from the it even though vaccinated this is in addition to the tens of thousands who died from adverse events of the vaccine itself. Society came together and decided that via the social contract that those deaths were acceptable to society whit large and mandated the global use of the smallpox eradication program. The Supreme Court has upheld twice the legality of.forced vaccinations the first time specifically for smallpox in a 9_0 vote of my memory still works. So yes a 90+ % effective vaccine can wipe out a virus if the V penetration rate is high enough in the host population to take the RT down to levels where the virus runs out of hosts and losses it vectors of transmission.
