Wrong. Again:
Pfizer's chief scientific officer, Mikael Dolsten, said the recently reported dip in the vaccine's effectiveness in Israel was mostly due to infections in people who had been vaccinated in January or February. The country's health ministry said vaccine effectiveness in preventing both infection and symptomatic disease fell to 64% in June.
95% is based on faulty/old data.

- adriancr 5y ago> vaccine effectiveness in preventing both infection Oh man... so you do agree with me it prevents infection... You are contradicting yourself... So, its not 95 its 64, it still gives immunity... check mate?
- codeflow2202 5y agoWrong. Definition of immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm If it prevents infection in 64% of cases it doesn't grant immunity.
- adriancr 5y agoDamn man, you do have trouble with basic concepts. 64% or 95% or whatever of the population are IMMUNE. It's not 'prevent infection 64% of the timr' as you would in a videogame... It's 'get vaccinated and you have X% chance to develop antibodies, if you do, you are immune.'
