Vaccine Claims The scientists do not claim that their vaccines are 100% effective nor do they claim there will be no side-effects. The data reveal amazing statistics for protecting the vaccinated from serious COVID-19 symptoms and death. So I’m all in for getting my jab when it’s available. The results of clinical trials revealed different rates of effectiveness for those vaccinated. That means the vaccines were NOT effective for every person. Irrational ...
