- Volpe 15y agoI was comparing the word 'effective' in a different context to illustrate it's misuse. Vaccines in general are 90%+ (sometimes 100%). (See polio or hepatitis for examples). Those that argue herd immunity - go and read it... all of the thresholds are > 50% This is categorically not 'effective', a breakthrough, yes. But it won't get rid of malaria.
