Obviously the variants make the situation much more complicated, that's why I cited the overview page of the CDC. Please don't cherry-pick the lowest figure you could find, this is highly misleading. Even for adolescents and Omicron, the studies find a very robust reduction in severe disease and hospitalization.
- lixtra 4y agoI’m not cherry picking the lowest number. You are shying away from giving a typical number. The 40% protection is actually much better then the anecdotal data I have. Two thirds of my vaccinated acquaintances fell sick with Covid19 in spite of vaccination. If you’re honest the page for measles could be just as confusing as the covid19 page. But CDC is confident to simplify it to a single number. But let’s assume that the Covid19 vaccines provides a solid 70% protection during the first year. That’s still ten times more people vulnerable than after the measles vaccination! The disappointment is justified. I thought meanwhile everyone agreed that the vaccines are very weak at providing sterile immunity?!
