Fair enough. I shouldn't be mind reading. Nonetheless, if it is 60% effective at best, wouldn't you agree that's not particularly effective? The MMR vax is supposedly 97% effective after the second dose. That's what I would want from a vaccine. Not <60%, and certainly not whatever the Covid jab gets you.
