It does NOT mean 100% immunity. Here is the quote from the CDC you're stuck on " All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19 as seen in clinical trial settings." See 100% anywhere in there? Nope, me either.
Although you did change your phrasing somewhat in post #32 (" Again, a fully vaccinated and immune person CANNOT get and CANNOT spread COVID. PERIOD!!!!!"), it's still counter to what the 'efficacy' of the vaccine actually is (which you seem to believe is interchangeable with 'immunity'). Here is a link to a TIME article which explains what 'efficacy' & 'effectiveness' actually mean: Breaking Down What COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Means | Time The meat of the article ..."it’s important to understand what these companies were actually measuring to come up with their efficacy numbers. In the case of the COVID-19 vaccines, the researchers were measuring how well their vaccines protected against symptoms of COVID-19. So their vaccine efficacy numbers refer to how well they lowered people’s chance of getting sick with COVID-19. Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine is 95% efficacious, meaning that for vaccinated people, it was 95% efficacious in protecting people from getting COVID-19 symptoms. It does not mean that 95% of people vaccinated won’t get COVID-19 and 5% will." Which is the same way I've read & heard it explained several times. There's more to this article but I don't want to be a spoiler. 
Maybe you need to do a little more reading & less shouting?  |
Maybe you need a little more reading comprehension and less attempts at reading material that is clearly over your head. If you read the context, you would know that 95% was implied in everything I wrote.
Please stop trying to compete with me concerning medical issues, you're only embarrassing yourself. Absolutely amazing---an amateur layperson googles a few items and then wants to lecture an expert. Boy, I love the internet
