I know I'm going to try to be first in line, but what about the rest of you? I'm not sure if the death count is where the science community wants it to be, plus Birdbrain hasn't been sworn in, so I expect there will be delays, but that's beside the point.

As I said, 100% effectiveness is not part of the definition of a vaccine.
The vast majority of people who receive the vaccine will be immune to it. The length of that immunity has no bearing on whether or not the shot is a vaccine.
I can't believe this discussion is even necessary. :-) [Reply]

I can't believe a vaccine for something that has less than a 1% chance of killing you is necessary. [Reply]
