Why are you brandishing facts at a Covid Truther?
Good point.
This is going to be a shit show. My sister is in South Florida. They got some vaccines so they just decide OK we are gonna do a bunch of vaccinations at some convention center or something, first come first served, 65 and older only, starting at like 7 AM. So all these seniors who are like "gonna go get the vaccine so I can see my grandkids ASAP" show up at 7 AM, and pretty quickly the turnout exceeds the daily capacity so the rest get sent home.
So for the next day they start showing up at 5 PM the day before with lawn chairs and tents and shit to camp out like it's a Dead concert, in tight lines. Basically forming a big ass superspreader event. The vaccine is 95% effective with 2 spread out doses, and not immediately, so there will be people who contract it waiting in line for the vaccine (which is roughly 50% effective after the first dose) - and this is a cohort that is all over 65. Some will contract it and not even get the vaccine, today there were arrivals at 6:30 AM already being sent home.
This doesn't smell like "fear of getting COVID and dying", it's "I am gonna get this vaccine so I can be free", but even with both doses it's 95% effective so if everyone just completely lets their guard down and then mixes with younger relatives who may be infected, there will be plenty of vaccinated people who still get infected, and some will die.
95% is a great number, the point being that if we get everyone vaccinated, as everyone is let loose, transmission will be so low that even if the vaccine happens to not be doing anything for you, your likelihood of running into an infected person is very low because 95% of the people who got the vaccine *won't* be getting it. But in the period where we still have a very low vaccination percentage and community spread is high, 5% of the vaccinated people will get infected anyway.
That's math. The problem is that people who don't understand math turn data into anecdotes and Tucker Carlson gets up there with a story of "She was vaccinated. She died of COVID anyway! Do you really trust Joe Biden's Vaccine?" and the anti-vax set takes hold, we never get to the amount we need vaccinated and the pandemic rolls along.
