I see this exact back and forth in a lot of threads, but I never see it go to the obvious conclusion. It sounds like you can probably shed some light on this based on your background. A) they dont prevent transmission B) they don't prevent _all_ transmission. No vaccine is 100% effective. C) end of thread I always wonder, well are these ones 99% effective^? 98% 97%? It would be a slam dunk if you could just say some number there that is in say the 70s or higher. But everybody stops at "well they aren't 100%" (and you're an asshole/dummy/republican for not getting one). But that leaves about 100 other options for what the efficacy could be. Obviously it's a moving target and depends on a lot of variables, but as of today, what do we understand to be the quantified benefit to somebody standing next to me if I've gotten vaccinated? And how long will that benefit last? ^ against infection here specifically, and right now, not for any mostly extinct variants
