[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2340993, member: 196898"] Exactly. 95% efficacy = 95 in 100 will be protected, but 5 may catch it. No one is claiming 100%, and to do so is wishful thinking and fairy dust. You wait if you like, but the rest of the world will move on around you, - and they may not be wearing masks. I do not share your optimism. Having played cards with the Grim Reaper a few times now, I am not going to risk it. For the sake of a couple of jabs and a possible bit of temporary discomfort then I will risk the possibility of longer-term problems since (a) of 44,000 samples, no severe reactions noted, and they are still being monitored because Stage 3 does not stop with the application for a licence. and (b) Living long enough to get the problems seems a good idea especially since there probably won't be any, As has been pointed out many times now, vaccines are not the same as drugs and operate briefly to train our own immune system to reject the virus.
