The vaccines as they are would have been perfectly fine if the wild type of SARS-Cov2 were everything we had to deal with. At least you seem to be referring to that because of the level of efficacy you mention. Unfortunately the pesky Delta variant appeared and threw a spanner in our works. Now there is the Omicron variant which seems to be even more infectious.
As much as I understand that people would prefer if the world were simple and solutions obvious but it just not is this way. It's messy and things change and that means that yesteryear's statements just might no longer be true. We need to deal with that and please do not make things more complicated than they are anyways already.

- sigmaprimus 5y agoplus if there was actually something bad in the first two doses, how else are they going to undo the damage without a third shot? After all yesteryear's treatment might no longer be a treatment at all and we might need to deal with that as things turn out to be more complicated than "Two weeks to flatten the curve".
