[QUOTE=LiverpoolWalrus;1918636]In talking to folks, they don’t seem to realize that the 95% efficacy rate of Covid vaccines means that the vaccine will not offer complete protection 5% of the time. If the vaccine fails in 5% of people who receive the vaccine and are later infected, that 5% still has a risk of mild symptoms.*

Flu vaccines can fail if vaccine manufacturers guess wrong on the flu variant for a particular season. Most of the general population do not vaccinate for flu. Thousands die yearly of flu. Yes, we realize the risk but choose to live anyway. I respect your choice. Please respect mine.
