It depends on what your endpoint is. I’d argue that the only relevant thing is preventing serious forms of the virus, such as hospitalization and death. For which both Moderna and Pfizer vaccines have found a been 96% effective. Which, by the way, is more effective than most every other vaccine that we have. But go on, keep with your ridiculous argument that anything less than 100% is completely worthless.

I just linked the studies for you and they are not consistently at 96% effective.

But go on, keep with your ridiculous argument that anything less than 100% is completely worthless.

I'm not in anyway making that argument.

In some cases, they’re higher.

And exactly what point are you trying to make? We know the vaccine is massively effective and is the way for us to get the pandemic under control.
