A member asked:
Moderna recently said their vaccine is now 90% effective. initially it was said all the vaccines prevent death. has that changed?

We have to take these numbers with a bit of caution. We really do not know enough about the treatment and natural progression of Covid-19. What they mean is that 90% of the patients injected have a good antibody response to their vaccine. We do not know what that means exactly, and it appears you can still get Covid-19 after vaccination, although the symptoms are less pronounced.

No vaccine is 100% perfect but clearly fully vaccinated folks who respond maximally are protected from infection, death, and need for hospital. All good reasons for the “jab”.

Yes, it has changed. Last week, there were 5 cases of Covid-19 deaths ( 3 in Michigan and 2 in Washington) of patients who had had full vaccination.
