Symptomatic infections: 97% effective
Asymptomatic infections: 86% effective

Then there is a couple more criteria, one being 90% effective and the other being 94% effective.

Now.....from where I sit, those percentages do not indicate 100% effectiveness. That means to me that there is a percentage of people who will develop Covid. That was always my understanding of what the doctors, scientists and immunologists said to the American people. I have no idea why anyone would believe that these people told us if you get vaccinated, you will NOT get Covid. That is not what they said to us.
If you actually listened to what she said and didn't just look at the graphics, you'll see I was correct.

I never stated anyone EVER claimed 100% effectiveness. I Clearly stated we were told it was 95% effective in protection from GETTING covid.

Just like the flu shot is not 100% effective, it does PREVENT infection in most cases.

Why would anyone believe if they got the shot, they would not get covid?
Because that is what they TOLD US would happen, 95% of the time...

Now they've changed their tune and they (along with you and many others) insist they never said that. That we were always told it would only lessen the infection and lower death rates and hospitalizations...

The link I provide PROVES that is not what they said, at all...
