This might be factually correct that the Covid vaccines were not tested for immunity, but immunity in this case is not a guarantee, it’s a statistical concept.

This might be factually correct that the Covid vaccines were not tested for immunity, but immunity in this case is not a guarantee, it’s a statistical concept. And we do have a large body of evidence that suggest vaccines, in the general case, do provide both immunity and reduction in symptoms. I think it is disingenuous to say that they don’t provide immunity, or to think it’s crazy people would think that, because it is most likely true.
What would really be wild is if Covid vaccines were this effective at reducing hospitalizations and symptoms and provided no immunity at all.
- cm2187 3y agoAll the analysis I have seen comparing the vaccinated and unvaccinated population suggest they reduce the risk of getting infected by 20-30% in the short term, which for a virus that infectious doesn't really change anything. At the time we were told the delta variant was 20 times more infectious than the previous strains, so downgrading it to 15 time more infectious won't really make any difference (those numbers were probably bullshit like most numbers comming from epidemiologists but that logic stands whatever the real infection rate was, as long as it is a very high rate).
- appplication 3y agoCDC says vaccines reduce risk of infection by 91%. Not sure where your numbers are coming from, but this train of thought feels like disinformation. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0607-mrna-reduce-risks.html https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/p0607-mrna-reduce-ri...
