The difference between a zero chance of infection and a 1 in 20 chance is obvious to me, and I would hope, to most people. I'd be happy to offer you a 0% chance

The difference between a zero chance of infection and a 1 in 20 chance is obvious to me, and I would hope, to most people. I'd be happy to offer you a 0% chance at winning $1000 from me in exchange for a 5% chance of winning $1000 from you. I'll even pay you $5. ;-)
- parkingrift 5y agoMake an argument and stick to it. You said… > as the trial results for vaccine effectiveness against infection for all the vaccines were clearly and widely reported to be significantly less than 100% This is not true. Now you’re saying… I don’t know what you’re trying to say. That you understand basic arithmetic, but don’t understand how vaccine efficacy and herd immunity works?
- vannevar 5y ago> as the trial results for vaccine effectiveness against infection for all the vaccines were clearly and widely reported to be significantly less than 100% > This is not true. It is absolutely true. The difference between 0% and 5% is enormous, as I tried to illustrate with my example. Let me try again. If your doctor told you there was a 0% chance you have cancer vs a 5% chance, you would behave very differently, correct?
