And I'm fairly sure you didn't bother to either read the articles I posted links to or do your own version of the search that I did.

And yes, you are correct in pointing out efficacy and immunity are 2 different things, because that was the study design for these vaccines. Since a positive antibody test after vaccination is NOT a good measure of immunity, I can't think of a better study metric than symptomatic disease.

Oh, I understand. (And, hey, you finally got something right, yourself (see above in red)) There was no cherry picking involved, at least from my end: I provided the first 5 hits from the search I stated. When I first responded to the 'definitive statement' from Tmarkwald that said -

- I read through the first dozen or so, all of which concluded that nobody seems to knows for sure.

Ooops, the 'overwhelming majority' seems just a little bit less positive than all that "Period. PERIOD!!!!!" nonsense above. I'm not the one parsing words either: my original question was whether there was any backup to the opinion that Tmarkwald stated. There has been none, merely stridently expressed opinion by yourself, condescension & backtracking about what was supposedly implied when you stated positively that "If you are fully vaccinated you CANNOT get the virus, you CANNOT spread the virus, and you CANNOT infect others. Period. PERIOD!!!!!." And I don't care about the 5% figure that you insist means having no immunity. This is flat out false, I have pointed out already.

Actual bottom line: still a nope.
