How effective are these vaccines at reducing severe cases and death? You do the numbers.
I refuse to draw any conclusions from media reports and YouTube doctors.
No concrete peer reviewed data yet but real world data not painting a good picture.
I don’t know where you go those numbers from but here’s some info about breakthrough cases in the US and Israel:
COVID-19 Breakthrough Case Investigations and Reporting
Why you shouldn't be concerned when more vaccinated people are getting infected than unvaccinated - ABC News
The calculated risk of being hospitalised from a breakthrough case after vaccination? 0.004%
The calculated risk of dying from a breakthrough case after vaccination? 0.001%
The current death rate from Covid in Australia is around 2.5%, let’s just say 2%.
So you are 2000 times less likely to die from Covid post vaccination.
I think the real world data is painting a great picture on the effectiveness of vaccines.
