Outside of some slightly exaggerated numbers at the beginning, whoever said it would be “100% effective?” To the best of my recollection it was always 95% ish or better.

My recollection is that the original thought was that it would stop the spread instead of just mitigating the effects. Some of our leaders in this field got their heads out over their skis a bit.

I think the effectiveness was probably exaggerated in the beginning by some. Still pretty highly effective though. Much better than non-vaccination or “natural immunity.” Only the anti-science meatheads made an issue out of it not being “100%” effective.

Don't disagree.

Protection gained from having already had the virus was ridiculously downplayed even well after the science determined that the protection was as good as or better than any of the vaccines.

I'm not sure the data supports that conclusion, but I'll look at it if you have any.

The NPR article.
Me: it's misinformation.
Alum: he's cherry-picking again
Tempo: yep
Me: the vaccine was never 100% effective.
Tempo: whoever said it would be 100% effective ?
The NPR article quotes Dr. Johnson: "it's just heartbreaking, you know, when it was preventable."
Merriam Webster: prevent, verb, to keep from happening.

What happens: Johnny gets vaccinated and he gets the Covid and he dies. Suzie says 'see, they're lying. My Johnny died and he was vaccinated.'
Suzie doesn't mention that Johnny was 65 years old, overweight and with 3-5 co-morbidities. But Suzie, with a large Facebook following, puts up a Facebook post that says the NPR article says the vaccine would prevent his death, and it didn't. Suzie says she doesn't trust these people any more. Suzie's post goes viral.
The govt contacts Facebook and Facebook takes her post down, saying it's misinformation.
The govt and Facebook says Suzie's post was misinformation.
Suzie says 'they told us the vaccine would prevent us from dying. See, look at this NPR article. They're trying to shame people into getting the vaccine and blame people who don't get the vaccine and die. My Johnny is dead and NPR said it wouldn't happen. And Facebook closed my account and said I was spreading vaccine misinformation. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.'

End of story.

I'm not sure the data supports that conclusion, but I'll look at it if you have any.

I mean, here’s an article from the summer of 2021, published, conveniently, by Science.

This was right when the already short staffed healthcare industry (in the middle of a pandemic) was laying off tens of thousands of medical workers who had been on the front lines since day one and already had acquired natural immunity, but didn’t want the vaccine. Not to mention all the other industries that did the same. But might be skewed because I’m sure there were Jews in the study.

https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-once-confers-much-greater-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vital


Here’s more recent data from 65 studies in 19 different countries that probably didn’t have as many Jews and Chinese people in it. The largest such study to date.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna71027

Here’s a study (funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation!) that reaches the same conclusion.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)02465-5/fulltext


There’s some really good stuff out there about how pharma lobbyists pressured the government to pressure major social media companies to take down anything that might enable vaccine hesitancy, even true and mostly-true data that was being reported by reliable sources. A bunch of journalists and scientists were banned and blackballed for pushing back against the claims of the big corporations that were controlling the narrative. But of course they aren’t reporting any of this in the left leaning media.

See, this is the problem in this day and age. People can now effectively cocoon themselves in whatever media they want to consume, because it agrees with their already preconceived notions of what is real and true. And then the algorithm just reinforces that, ad infinitum.

Anything else that doesn’t fit the mold causes cognitive dissonance and is dismissed as fake news or conspiracy theories or outright lies. “These are my accepted news outlets, and everyone else is just making shit up!”

Tempo routinely proves this theory to be true.

Yeah, I’m not sure about that. It says the protection rate was much reduced for Omicron. And the protection rate was about 78% from death from early variants (generalizing, there’s a ton to digest in those posts).

Seeing as how someone vaxxed and boosted was protected in the 90 percentile from all variants, I rate Custard’s claim: mostly false.

Natural immunity was much better than no immunity, but I don’t think Custard’s claim that it was “just as safe and effective” looks to be true.
