That means: 1) I'm not likely to contract the virus even if I'm exposed to it. Pfizer has some 95~% efficacy rate And 2) in the low% chance I contact the virus I will not have a serious or life threatening case. . And that's fantastic. But that means that there is still a chance that I could be the link between the virus and an unvaccinated person. And when you consider the percentage of the population that is flat out refusing the receive the vaccination you can imagine there are still significant swaths and clusters of people who are fully susceptible to the virus. When I continue to limit my activity in public and when I continue to wear a mask I'm not doing it for myself. I'm doing it for the person I've never met before where I might be the one link in the chain that allowed the virus to reach them. If 1/4 of the population is going to be 100% susceptible and 3/4 of the population is going to be 5% susceptible... Then it's still most important that the 1/4 is taking precaution. But the 3/4 continuing to take precautions will still have an effect and could still prevent the virus from crossing from one group of unvaccinated people to another. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
