MAK 10.....no vaccine is 100%. According to the published data, the vaccine does provide resistance in varying degrees to recipients. The range of resistance has been showing everything from full immunity to shortened duration and lighter symptoms with full hospitalization being rare. A telling statistic is the ICU population being disproportionately represented by the unvaccinated.
As I read the numbers Redger posted, I am looking at the per 100K/Week number. There is a definite correlation between degree of vaccination and the risk of infection and hospitalization. While I am not privy with the data collection protocols, the data as supplied supports that the general population resistance is greater for the partially vaccinated and highest for the fully vaccinated
To misquote a TV line out of context "RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE"
What is worrisome to me is the longer it takes us to get to the critical population resistance the greater the chances the Virus will mutate into something that the vaccine can no longer address. Polio never had that chance.
