The protection rate oddly correlates with the hearsay that ~95% of people testing positive experience mild to moderate symptoms. I think I’m in the wrong business.

- StavrosK 6y agoNot even a baseless conspiracy theory, it's such a failure of basic reading comprehension that it borders on bad faith. They gave the vaccine to a bunch of people, people in the control group got COVID 20 times more often than in the vaccine group, what's there to dispute?
- ijidak 6y agoHaha. I understand what you're thinking, but from a benefit standpoint, it's not only about the 95% having fewer symptoms. It's about the 95% never being contagious. So they can't cause the disease to spread to the 5% that are at risk of death.
- sul_tasto 6y agoI’m glad at least one person in the world understood the irony.
- rimliu 6y agoThis kind of humour is called "no sense of humour". Rare, but happens.
- DiogenesKynikos 6y ago> It's about the 95% never being contagious. I don't think the study has measured whether vaccinated people are less contagious (or get infected). It's primarily measuring protection from disease.
- zaroth 6y agoNo, that’s not what the statistics is saying. The compares the rate of symptomatic disease between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in a double blind study. The incidence of symptomatic people in two equal sized groups over time has reached 90 versus 5 in the unvaccinated versus vaccinated group.
