Probably this vaccine will be similar to the so called flu vaccine, which only works 35% to 40% of the time,
Even if it does only work a third of the time, that would still have the positive benefit of reducing the R number and cause the number of cases to diminish, taking the pressure off the NHS.
[/quote]It may help the NHS but I don't see how it is going to help society return to normal because the vulnerable people and the scared but not vulnerable will not trust still having a 66% chance of catching it. And if it turns out to only be 33% effective I don't see enough people taking it up. Especially if it needs a follow up jab a couple of weeks later and the first jab was a bad experience, long waits - a day off work ect.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
