No one, except anti-vaxxers, is claiming that the vaccine is 100% effective. At his age, Joe Biden is lucky it wasn't much worse, which it might well have been, had he not been jabbed.
So you think that if something is not 100% effective, it must be 0% effective? Is this what passes for reasoned debate among conspiracy theorists?
Incorrect. Vaccines like this, including the flu vaccine, reduce your chances of getting it, and if you get it, reduce your chances of getting it badly.
The proof is in the pudding, as they say. The pandemic ended earlier in the UK than it did in Europe. The UK had a much earlier vaccine rollout than Europe.
We were told to get vaccinated to 'protect the vulnerable'. How that works I have no idea. You have a vaccine to prevent YOURSELF from getting a disease. That's what vaccines are for.Maia wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 10:59 am The definition of a vaccine is something that uses part or all of the original pathogen to stimulate an immune response.

If you reduce your own chances of getting it, you reduce the chances that you'll pass it on. Some things really are just obvious, to be honest.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 11:09 amWe were told to get vaccinated to 'protect the vulnerable'. How that works I have no idea.

But it doesn't stop anyone from getting it. They never even claimed that it did.Maia wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 11:12 amIf you reduce your own chances of getting it, you reduce the chances that you'll pass it on.
