True about efficacy rates, but the CBC video (and others I've seen) put this statistic up with regards to protection from severe disease:I don't believe complete prevention of death has ever been the claim; significant, majorly significant, reduction yes, but complete 100% prevention - no. No vaccine claims 100% efficacy that I'm aware of. This EU publication was gaging the odds on the Pfizer vaccine realistically back in February:

That leads me to believe that at least I won't get severely sick with these shots. That said, I see the point about getting the disease before the vaccine has had time to work and also that there are anomalies to everything. Of course, video and general belief aside, we still don't and can't have all the answers yet.
