In a shocking revelation from the BBC, ironically titled “Unvaccinated most at risk from delta variant,” 19 of the 43 who have died with the delta variant had received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. Technically, the BBC is correct, because 56% were unvaccinated and this counts as “most.”
But the 44% who were vaccinated is close enough to half to make you wonder, “wtf happened to the 95% efficacy?”
Well, in case you weren’t aware of it, the efficacy is in reducing symptoms. No vaccines were shown to reduce mortality prior to the emergency use authorization from the US CDC and other national vaccine authorities.
Some research is emerging suggesting that vaccines do reduce the chance of you dying from COVID, which is just as well, given that the world is investing trillions of dollars in the largest vaccine trial in history.
But forget the 95% efficacy. These numbers suggest it’s 75% at best, and that’s assuming that nobody died from the vaccine.
There’s food for thought. If the vaccine only improves your chances of survival from 99.9% to 99.97% — the known variable — but gives you a completely unknown chance of dying, suffering long term side effects, or permanent disability, is this a gamble you want to take?
Also, if you need workers comp lawyer in Arizona , even to solve disability cases, you can hire them from here!
Americans don’t seem to think so.
Even the way it’s being sold in the US with 95% efficacy (“you can travel“, “You can attend events“, “You can keep your job” be responsible“, “Win the lottery“) isn’t working and Biden will probably miss his 70% target. How is it going to work with “It works most of the time?”
Or, more specifically, at least we think it does.
