It doesn't mean 5% of vaccinated people get infected.
It's remarkable to see how many people seem to misconstrue this.

Serious question from a condescending prick and/or a COVID Karen, what does the 95% represent? Why not advertise the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as 99.8% (or whatever) efficacy?

One common misunderstanding is that 95% efficacy means that in the Pfizer clinical trial, 5% of vaccinated people got COVID.
100% of experimental vaccine recipients =
95% Efficacy leaving 5% Inefficacy.
The shite works for 95 out of 100 people and the shite don’t work for the other 5 people.

The "efficacy" of a vaccine is for the herd not so much for the individual.

You saw the necessity of getting your parents vaccinated (assuming they're local and you visit them), but refused the vaccine yourself? That's fricked up logic.
Actually, this is sound logic, and probably backed by science.
His parents might be in their mid 70's with multiple comorbidities. They are in a higher risk category should they contract the virus. Getting the vaccine is reasonable in their situation.
The poster fits into a category where his risk is much much lower. For him, not taking a vaccine that has not been fully approved, and only granted emergency use authorization, is perfectly reasonable.
If we had not let this get so political, this would be the stance that our media would take. Unfortunately, fear has dominated this entire thing.

You’re not making any.
The people in the herd that didn’t participate in experimental therapies should not factor into the efficacy of the experimental therapy results.

In this backwards arse state? Prolly not. Two people at my entire workplace are getting vaccinated, no one else is.
Good. Young and healthy people don't need it. Let the old, at-risk, and the fatties get it, which they have been, and open the frick back up. This charade is over.

Open up vaccines to all
I am currently not eligible, sure I can lie. Now that’s good government: pushing citizens to lie for this vaccine you are jamming down our throats that we need to get

According to some article, the Rio Grande Valley has the most lard asses in the USA. I think it was the McAllen-Edinburgh ‘metro’ area that came in top??
Not sure if illegals were surveyed though.
ETA: if illegals would’ve been surveyed the Brownsville-Harlingen-Port Isabel ‘metro’ area would’ve been first hands down.

Does "herd immunity", 70% or whatever percentage the current guesstimate is, include only the at risk population or everyone in the country?

And it was only 393 confirmed cases. The other 316 were "probables" whatever that means.
Does anybody know the criteria for probable cases? I find it hard to believe that there are people that will not get tested but are willing to report to the state that they might have it
