I doubt most efficacy claims, because they don't line up with the experiences of most of the people that I know. Most people were vaccinated, most people were boostered, most people contracted covid, many obviousy passed it on. I am not saying that the numbers are wrong, but I am saing that the vaccine was marketed with fancy numbers, that don't mean much in the end, because people get vaccinated, but still get covid and pass it on, potentially multiple times. I can get behind the argument of reducing the risk of severe illness, but all the arguments about protecting others do not make any sense to me when there is such a blatant lack of guarantees. Forbidding blind people to drive a car is a much more straight-forward measure.

- ls15 4y agoAn estimated 94% of Americans has been infected with SARS-CoV-2. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.19.22282525v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.19.22282525v... About 69% of Americans have received two doses. Some got more. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-total-admin-rate-total https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-... This leaves very little room for real transmission/infection benefit. About 6% of people have been saved from being infected, but this is trending southwards and some of them may just have been religious maskers and social distancers, so it is not clear by how much the vaccination contributes to the 6%.
