Japan puzzles over its sudden coronavirus-control success.

Hey, here’s another one of those articles that treats it like some sort of grand mystery that vaccination is working. It also contains a large lie (and links to an article that discusses a study that’s been fairly well been debunked IIRC).

He cautioned, however, that breakthrough infections in the U.S., Britain and other places where inoculations began months earlier than in Japan show that vaccines alone are not perfect and efficacy gradually wears off.

Sterilizing immunity wears off a bit. This is not the fucking same as efficacy waning, which the very article this goofus links to states quite clearly. Why just lie? How does that help anything? The Pfizer vaccine retains 90% of its ability to prevent hospitalization as expected.

Even as the Delta variant became the predominant strain across the Southland, the vaccine’s effectiveness at preventing COVID-19 hospitalizations held steady at close to 90% for as long as six months.

Note again, again, again for the hard of reading, that “as long as six months” DOES NOT MEAN “only six months,” but that six months was the resolution of the study.

When I say that libs lie about vaccine efficacy (“the vaccines don’t work”) this is exactly what I mean. So why do they do it? Just desire for continued lockdown life? Simple malice? I have no reasons that make sense. But I know I despise them, and that’s enough for me.
