Some stats related to vaccine effectiveness.
From the Heritage Foundation.
For the record, I'm a believer in liberty where vaccines and are concerned. I believe that the vaccines offer some value against Covid. But I also know that the long-term effects cannot be known right now, and that below a certain age, Covid is just not a significant threat.
The CDC foments so much confusion and terror, whether due to incompetence or malevolence I can't tell. But this is useful data as it relates to thinking through policy questions and, it's the Heritage Foundation, so they're not all about centralized control.
