Are we going to have a year of this nonsense? (Sent apparently to 22+ million people, thanks @reuters). Nobody is claiming strong protection in just a few days post-vaccination, plus even 95% efficacy means occasional positives. Will they all become pointless, global headlines? pic.twitter.com/PZtV6eLEbl

Yes, we will have years of this nonsense. There are always allergic reactions to vaccines. Always.

Also, this vaccine is 95% effective, which is very, very good. However, give it to 10 million people, that means that it won’t work on 500,000 of them. That’s just math and completely normal for a vaccine.

I merely wish there were a vaccine against stupidity that the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers could take.
