All correct except this is not a traditional vaccine with promised and expected immunity is it? People call it a vaccine but it is gene therapy with no promised immunity or change of freedoms, so what is the point.

Or, Noam, no one really knows what the hell is going on because 1) we've been on the downside curve of Farr's Law since vax programs kicked into gear, so who knows their effectiveness 2) None of the clinical trials for each vax enlisted the vulnerable, so who knows their effectiveness 3) who knows the effectiveness of a vax that targets a virus such a great many easily shed?

My bet is another wave will hit us, maybe come spring, maybe next Fall. I'll wait till after is subsides - when damage becomes known - to decide if vax is worth it or not. I pray it's true that the vaccines greatly decrease deaths.
