You obviously do not know much about vaccines. "
They either work or they don't"? Sorry, it is not that simple, not with the Covid vaccines nor with most others.
From the German Doctors' Journal:
Quote:
“But what does '90 percent effective' mean?” ask the RWI scientists. Contrary to popular belief, this does not mean that nine out of ten people who get vaccinated are protected from infection. “That would mean that if you vaccinated all 83 million Germans, then 90 percent of them would be protected. Only the remaining 8.3 million can become infected. But that would still be far more infected than has previously been the case. So that can't be meant, ”said the scientists.
The statements of 90 or 95 percent effectiveness do not refer to the group of those vaccinated, but to that of the infected. Biontech reported that a total of about 43,000 people took part in their study, about half of whom were vaccinated and the other were given a placebo. Seven days after the second dose, there were 94 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the study population.
The definition of efficacy can be found in the Pfizer study protocol: For this purpose, the proportion of COVID-19 cases in the vaccination group is divided by the proportion of COVID-19 cases in the control group. The indication of effectiveness is therefore a relative indication.
This in no way devalues the vaccination: After all, there must have been eight cases in the vaccination group and 86 cases in the placebo group. With a 95 percent reduction due to the vaccination, the ratio is eight to 156.
The RWI scientists remind you that the “90 percent effective” reported by Biontech and Pfizer refers to the reduction of infections, not of serious illnesses or even deaths. "We can only hope that this reduction will affect serious illnesses to the same extent, but this is not being investigated in the current studies," they concluded.

On your torade againbst masks, I leave you alone, I am tired of this nonsense. I fisherman using a net with smaller loops catches more smaller fish than a fisherman with bigger loops. Every late grammer school child understands this. Its the same with filtration of materials used for breathing through them for a filtering effect. A cotton cloth is not the same like meltblow tissue, but sitll is better than nothing if severla layers are used over each other. Try to hold sand in a coffee filter and in a noodle strainer. No facts withheld. Promised.
Enough of this all, these things are matters of coruse. Or at least they should be, not needing to be explained again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, anbd every time as if it is new and for the first time.
