   Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have a 94%-95% effectiveness   
   rate. That means some 5%-6% of all those who are vaccinated will not   
   be immune. Still a helluva better than not having been vaccinated   
   at all, if enough folks get vaccinated, especially if enough are   
   vaccinated so that herd immunity threshhold is reached.

   And you know this how? Please tell, Mr Expert. Nobody else seems   
   to know. Not even Dr Fauci or Dr Birx or any of those other medical   
   professionals with multiple PhD's. After all, this is a novel   
   coronavirus. Nobody in the entire world has any immunity. So how   
   did you come to the conclusion that Mr Expert knows all?
