> The COVID vaccines are some of the most effective vaccines ever invented. I didn’t know that. Do you have a source that shows efficacy over 45% after 8 month

  That's an oddly specific ask. The vaccines are absolutely fantastic in the short term, and there's credible evidence indicating the vaccine protection is long term, by analogy with how other vaccines work. See e.g. https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/1416020128291082245 https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/141602012829108224... and https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02046-8/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... Also worth noting, see scary stories about vaccine efficacy dropping (coinciding with alpha being replaced by delta)? Turns out the efficacy recovers afterwards.

Other real world studies show robust protection in the medium term, see https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/1439951332635516928 https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/143995133263551692....

    The efficacy is “recovering” because the vaccinated are acquiring natural immunity. The way you / sailorrooscout present it obscures that simple fact.

      That's not a simple fact; that's something you're making up.
