It doesn't just look like it : they're mostly French words.

In a way, it is. Most of these words are French.

It's simply accurate, and reflects the dramatic difference in vaccine efficacy between 2 and 3 doses (or rather, between a recent or more distant dose)

Make that 18. With custom server designs and some of the best power efficiency out there. Amazon also had built their DCs for Amazon, and Google for Google, so that's not a valid argument. But it does take a lot of work to turn that in
