The Pfizer vaccine is 95% effective at preventing Covid-19 illness and the Moderna vaccine is 94% effective -- two weeks after both jabs are taken within the appropriate window in time. Is it exactly that number? Probably not but it's close to those numbers. We know this because that's what happened in clinical trials.

Again, we know that the virus can't infect 95% of the people who are vaccinated. If 80% of the population is vaccinated, the virus will not be able to find enough susceptible people in order to replicate itself and will die out.

What part of this do you disagree with?

well you don't know that and neither do i

thats not true that it can't infect 95% of ppl who get the shot (theyre not really vaccinated - they just got a shot of experimental gene therapy)


so i disagree with all of it

What information are you waiting to see?

165 million people have already been vaccinated. When tested, only 0.01% test positive for the virus. When unvaccinated people are tested the positivity rate is between 2 and 15% depending on the area. That's pretty damn good. How much better does it have to get? Is 165 million people too small of a sample size?

During the time when most people were vaccinated, 1.5 million new cases were recorded and 200000 people died from Covid-19.

Seems pretty much a dead issue to me. Get vaccinated unless you have a condition that indicates otherwise.

The vaccine was tested and yes, depending on the maker, 94% to 95% of the people in that trial were protected. So, yes, the results from those and other tests show that the vast majority who are vaccinated are in fact immune.

It's not gene therapy, that's a completely different procedure.

If that's what it takes to overcome your hesitancy then fine.

But I wasn't saying that. I'm saying that we have plenty of evidence from both clinical trials and now, from results during the vaccine roll out that these vaccines are very safe and almost everybody is immune after the appropriate time.

165 million people vaccinated an almost none came down with the disease. Compare that to what happened to unvaccinated people. 1.5 million came down with the disease and 200000 died.

That's a dumb angle. Everyone else loads up on debt, but that's not a good idea. You have the best odds of being fine if you're young and fit with no health conditions, then if you want to risk it, at least your odds of severe symptoms are low. However, if you have any friends or family members you visit and they're older and weaker with health conditions, then you'd probably want to stay away until they're vaccinated, because then they'd have good odds if they ended up catching it due to your cartoonishly cliche American selfishness.
