Let’s look at the science. The available Covid-19 vaccines do not offer 100% protection. In fact, as I explained last month for Forbes, it’s not yet clear how well they may protect you against getting infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), carrying the virus, and spreading it. The 90% plus efficacies reported from the clinical trials are just the potential protection that the vaccines may offer against your getting Covid-19 with symptoms. It doesn’t mean that your are 90% protected against an infection without symptoms. Just because you got two doses of the vaccine does not mean that you can’t catch and transmit the virus.

Therefore, this is not the time to tell people to stop wearing face coverings, which can lower the chance that someone infected can spread the virus. This is not the time to tell people to ease up on other measures such as social distancing. That would be like telling people in the middle of a raging fire to light some scented candles. All of the recommended precautions are still needed, in fact, more than ever. On their own, the available Covid-19 vaccines are not magical potions. They are still just one layer in what needs to be multiple layers of interventions against the pandemic. After all, you wouldn’t go outside in just your underwear to play tackle football in the snow. So why would you rely on just a vaccine in the middle of the worst part of the pandemic?
We all saw this coming from a mile away. The goalposts are to be moved as long as the Left have their stranglehold on our country and its institutions.
What benefit is there to getting a vaccine if life still can't return to normalcy afterwards because some fuckhead journalist decided that 90% efficacy isn't enough?
Let's just look at that number for a second. 90%. Most flu vaccinations only have an efficacy of 40-60%, so as far as vaccines go, 90% is really good. It's ironic that in the same article, they try to convince you to keep wearing face coverings when masks, especially cloth masks, are hardly effective at all when you look at the data.
This isn't to say that I'm not skeptical of the vaccine myself. I'm just pointing out the inanity of this line of thinking. "A 90% effective vaccine won't protect you from the virus. Just wear the 5% effective mask, you inconsiderate asshole!" And yet these leftists still want us to get the vaccine, even if it does absolutely nothing to improve our lockdown situation.
"Let's look at the science," they all have the nerve to say. Yeah, let's. Asymptomatic patients don't spread the virus. It's been established in huge studies with millions of people. Leftist leaders are just drunk on power as usual, and this is one giant Milgram's Experiment being carried out on the general population.

Then there's no reason for a vaccine.
