Keep in mind that vaccine is not 100% effective.

I doubt the vaccine is 100% effective.

Not really. A vaccine is never 100% effective.

Keep in mind that the vaccine has, on average, efficacy of 50%.

While a vaccine is not 100% effective in preventing the spread of new cases it is at least somewhat effective.

Vaccines aren't 100% effective.

toisanji | karma 888 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2021-11-17 08:27:40

does that mean the vaccine is not really effective?

The vaccine won't be 100% effective. The FDA just approves vaccines that are at least 50% effective, and with the margin of error it's possible that they will work in 30% of the population.

okay that's one more possbility. It's not 100% likely to be able to be vaccined out, from what I've seen. What are the odds of the vaccine working?

Vaccines aren't 100% effective. Some are closer to 50%. Wearing a mask isn't that much of a sacrifice especially indoors.

Vaccines are not 100% effective. A small percentage of those vaccinated do not develop immunity.

Yes, the vaccine does it's job in preventing transmissions, hospital admissions and deaths

But sadly not for a 100%

The vaccine is still good at preventing you from catching it at all. If you don't catch it you don't spread it. It's more like 50% effective than 99%, but it's still going to reduce the chance you give it to anyone substantially.

Aware of this. It does depend on that, and so will the effectiveness of any vaccine.

The Pfizer vaccine is not 90% effective. That’s a fact.

Please do not spread fake news. All current vaccines are less than 1% effective. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5...

These statements don’t claim that the vaccine is “ineffective”. “effective” does not mean 100% perfect.

TimothyBJacobs | karma 170 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2021-05-14 03:23:42+00:00

That assumes that the vaccine is 100% effective, and that everyone who is at risk can safely take the vaccine. Neither of those are true.

xapata | karma 5059 | avg karma 1.56 · | 2020-08-12 12:00:01

> vaccine is only partially effective

Different vaccines will have different efficacy. None will be perfect.

I don't think it's black and white. The vaccines aren't 100% effective (and yes, I know this applies both for the kids who can spread it and those at risk who can receive).
