    Meh. People with your thought process usually get left in the dust.

    And it does. But you might have the wrong ideas about what that means.

    "Immunity" refers to the immune system being prepared, as if the person already survived a previous case. It does not mean they can't get sick again. For example, Olympic medalist Tom Dean had Covid twice in 2020. (If you would like a different example than Covid, shingles results from a reactivation of the dormant chickenpox virus.) Also, every description about the vaccines talk about 75-95% effectiveness. No one has claimed 100% effectiveness (unless that person is trying to spread misinformation).

    Wikipedia article on vaccines:
    "Even if the host does develop antibodies, protection might not be adequate; immunity might develop too slowly to be effective in time, the antibodies might not disable the pathogen completely, or there might be multiple strains of the pathogen, not all of which are equally susceptible to the immune reaction. However, even a partial, late, or weak immunity, such as a one resulting from cross-immunity to a strain other than the target strain, may mitigate an infection, resulting in a lower mortality rate, lower morbidity, and faster recovery."

    Guys, enough with the bickering about covid. Some people are going to be emailing me wondering why they were banned soon, and I don't answer those emails.
