Perhaps but there is no parallel between the polio and the COVID vaccine. The former reduced the incidence of polio by more than 99% while the latter, well it does not.
- kennywinker 5y agoNo parallel because one is a bit less effective than the other? That’s a weird take
- Blackstrat 5y agoA bit? That’s an understatement of epic proportions
- kennywinker 5y agoAnd exactly how big does the gap need to be before they stop being comparable? We can compare 99% effective vaccines and 98% effective vaccines, surely? so a 1% spread is ok... but a 10% spread and now we're in "no parallel" territory?
- Blackstrat 5y agoThe vaccine is clearly not 98% effective. It never was.
- kennywinker 5y ago90%. The number I said was 90%
