COVID Vaccines are Very, Very Effective

If you have a vaccine, there is no reason at all for you to worry about masks and social distancing. If you aren’t vaccinated, then you are a free American making a choice for yourself. You assume the risk. Either way, there is no reason not to return to full normal.

The “breakthrough” infections represent 0.03% of people who have had both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer injections or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson shot.

That’s a higher share than the 0.008% represented by 7,157 breakthrough cases among more than 87 million fully immunized Americans reported last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the CDC said the national tally is an undercount, and experts say some infections are expected among those fully vaccinated because no vaccine is 100% effective.

In about half of Wisconsin’s breakthrough cases, those infected reported no symptoms, Miller said.

    “In about half of Wisconsin’s breakthrough cases, those infected reported no symptoms, Miller said.”

    In other words, they are still counting any level of Covid 19 traces as ‘infected’ rather than having (much less using) a minimum base amount in your system like they have for every other Covid variant.

    So, if you don’t have any symptoms, are you really sick?

    Since CDC guidelines left out any minimum levels of the Covid 19 virus as being innocuous, yes! According to the CDC you ARE sick whether you have symptoms or enough Covid in your body to be contagious or not. You poor sick b*st*rd.

    I don’t think you can say the vaccines are very, very effective.
    We don’t don’t know how long the vaccines will last. 6 months and another shot?
    I’m glad they are out there for people who want to take the chance. Though Kamala and Joe said not to get the vaccine.Get the vaccine if you want, I won’t. Even get 2 shots and then the boosters. Then wear a mask if you want.
    But, to say the vaccines are very, very effective. I’ll wait.

    You would never have known vaccines are effective after seeing the Bozos in Congress and Senile Joe wearing masks and social distancing at Senile Joe’s speech last night.
    Another embarrassing moment in Congressional history.

    “Effective” at what?

    There are MD’s who affirm that the vax merely suppresses WuFlu–that is, you will get it but not suffer serious effects.

    Gee. That’s exactly what the quoted article references. Huh!

    They’re just following one of the record number of EO’s penned and signed by Joe Blockhead so far.
