Now here's the pickle, either:

  • The vaccines don't work

  • The tests don't work

  • Both of the above

The issue is more or less how well they work. I could take paper and tape it to the floor folded to stand and call it a wall. Its theoretically a wall, but not a good one. But a 30ft steel barrier is also a wall as well, better than folded paper taped to the floor. The article says the vaccine is 95% effective so there's still a 5% chance. Then you also have the test that could be wrong as well (a friend of ours had the symptoms, no taste, heavy coughing, etc. But his test came back negative, so the doctors changed it to positive as result of the symptoms). So yes, all of the above and more.

The article says the vaccine is 95% effective.

So what? I can write an article saying anything, that doesn't make it true.

This vaccine does nothing to prevent anyone from getting infected. They admit that.

It's not a vaccine.

It makes more sense to take medicine if you get sick.

They state that the vaccine is 95% effective in preventing someone getting the virus. The other 5% who do get it do not require hospitalization.
