But let’s pretend it will be 80% effective.
Follow me here because the math is not intuitive
That sounds decent right? At least you lower the burden on hospitals a lot.
Except when you figure only 8.2-9.4 % of people get covid (based on the antibody random sampling test done recently). The chance that someone will both get the coof and the vaccine will work will is incredibly low., under 1%. The proof is left as an exercise to the reader.
Here is the sad part.
Everyone will still get the vaccine. Why?
Because that’s how people work, they need to feel like they are doing something, people HATE feeling powerless, no matter how scientific they pretend to be and even the resisters will break down on social pressure and get it once it’s needed to travel or show up to work
