so like, you see its 90% efficient, 66% efficient

but if you look at the studies:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/03/29/vaccine-effective-essential-workers-study/

Among 2,479 fully vaccinated people, just three had confirmed infections. Among 477 people who received one dose, eight infections were reported.
By comparison, among 994 people who were not vaccinated, 161 developed infections.

so for two doses, 0.12% of people got corona virus and for 1 dose ~1.7% of people got it.
ie 2 doses protected 99.88% of people and 1 dose protected 98.3% of people.
that sounds a lot better than 80% and then 95%.

im sure theres some statistics LAW somewhere in the manual to all of science saying to use it, but for journalists and media folk, wouldn't this be a better message?
