No, it's so that the infection doesn't develop into a very serious situation.
Check out this article:
https://time.com/5920134/first-authorized-covid-19-vaccine-us/
It says 95% effective in preventing covid. That would make it a vaccine, no, if it worked?
reply
I'm not an expert, what I'm saying is what I've heard from some experts who haven't been radicalized about covid.
"...was 95% effective in protecting against COVID-19 disease, ..."
What I interpret from this sentence is that 95% of people don't get sick, but that doesn't mean you can't get infected. You can be infected and not be sick. Of course, I could be wrong.
reply
Yes, that is what I heard also, but not until a year later. It might have been a marketing thing, but there is no question that at the time that article came out the assertion was that if you got the vaccination, you would not get covid, unless you were amongst the unlucky 5%.
reply
I immediately had this idea when they started talking about the vaccines. Yes, the marketing was very aggressive, and almost everyone I know who got vaccinated thought they couldn't get COVID anymore.
reply
I think (noting that I'm NOT a scientist) that actually means that in 95% of exposures to the virus, it will prevent it. That's not quite the same as 95% of the people, since most folks get exposed multiple times.
reply
That's because you think of this 95% efficacy as absolute (as it should for any other vaccine approval) but both Pfizer and Moderna reported relative % efficacy and pretended it was absolute. The real efficacy is below 1% which explains why in reality the vaccines didn't make a difference, or one can also argue they made things worse by getting in the way of natural immunity against a weakening virus
reply
not if it is mRNA
95 percent effective for how many days or weeks?
The problem is covid mutates and then the 'vaccine' is 0 percent effective

I know. I am proudly unvaccinated. When Biden came out with his grim "winter of death" speech that was the last straw for me with the whole government. But @0xbitcoiner usually has good information, so I want to hear him out.
reply
I didn't get vaccinated either, and guess what? I never caught COVID because I only got tested once. Haha!
reply
I got it before the vaccines came out. It was mild. But, a guy in the neighborhood got it around the same time as me and died. Very sad. He was younger than me, and in better health. Go figure.
reply
Good points. Remember when they called them "breakthrough cases"? That ended quickly as the numbers piled up.
reply
that's a lie
