   Oh dear. We have an ArtStudent™ mind. Stuck in Boolean logic.   
      
   You are asking an ArtStudent™ question.   
      
   The scientific questions is *how much* do vaccines  reduce the risk of   
   infection, and the severity of the subsequent disease, and the answer   
   is, shitloads.   
      
   Anyone of any minor intelligence who actually thinks about it,   
   understands that. Vaccines increase natural immunity. It takes more of   
   someone else's virus load to make you sick and you wont get *as* sick.   
      
   So leave you stupid 'is it perfect?, if not it doesn't work'  logic at home.

   Yes, they cough, sneeze and breath less virus load.   
      
   > Why then hasn't covid stopped?   
      
   It *has* stopped. Killing people.   
   Vaccines have brought it down to flu level - a bad week maybe in bed   
   with painkillers, and that's it. Not a life threatening infection with   
   people gasping for breath and dying.   
      
   I suffer when my blood oxygen goes below 90%, which it has done at times   
   when I was being loaded into an ambulance.   
      
   The [paramedics said 'its when its down at 50% an te patient is blue and   
   gasping for breath, that we put on the blue lights and sirens' I   
   saidf'whgen does that happen?'   
      
   'Covid'.

   Lucky cousin. Without vaccinations she would probably be dead.   
      
   > I've seen no evidence vaccines do much good but they do do harm.   
      
   The evidence is that the episode your cousin has is now as bad as it gets.   
      
   If you cant see that, don't get jabbed and die in a respirator gasping   
   for breath, like so many others have.

   I would rather have questions that cannot be answered...   
   ...than to have answers that cannot be questioned
