Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have a 94%-95% effectiveness
rate. That means some 5%-6% of all those who are vaccinated will not
be immune. Still a helluva better than not having been vaccinated
at all, if enough folks get vaccinated, especially if enough are
vaccinated so that herd immunity threshhold is reached.

And you know this how? Please tell, Mr Expert. Nobody else seems
to know. Not even Dr Fauci or Dr Birx or any of those other medical
professionals with multiple PhD's. After all, this is a novel
coronavirus. Nobody in the entire world has any immunity. So how
did you come to the conclusion that Mr Expert knows all?
