I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not, re: “vaccinations don’t prevent or reduce infections”
> Effectiveness [at preventing infection] remained above 95% regardless of age group, sex, race, or presence of comorbidities.

- klyrs 4y agoIt's a common antivax meme to round 95% down to 0%. But even if it didn't reduce infection, the real selling point for me is that they reduce the severity of infection. I have had covid, I will probably get covid again. Reducing the amount of brain damage from all sources is pretty high on my priority list.

- tjansen 4y agoThat's from October '21. Vaccines were new back then. They worked well initially, but over time the protection vanishes.
