Fact: Vaccines are Not 100% Effective against Covid-19

Today, my cousin's wife is claiming to be fully vaccinated and all. She might be embracing the idea of being complacent. It means she is striking an argument that vaccines against Covid 19 will not make her infected. I do want to keep in silence but need to say something since some relatives are there listening to the matter. So I gave a piece of statement that it is not a hundred percent effective. Despite being fully vaccinated or receiving the booster, we can still be infected but not that serious for those who did not have them. However, she still insists on her point. The ending is I just kept silent and let her have the benefit of the doubt. She seems so determined to act like a mutant that can fight the killer virus a hundred percent. The mere fact, Covid 19 is still mutating. Does it make sense? How do you handle this kind of people? Image Credit: encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

I try to avoid stupid people. If I can't do that, I avoid controversial topics. You can argue until the cows come home as the English say. You won't make them change their opinion. You can tell the woman that you won't visit her in hospital should she beome ill.

I agree. At the back of my mind, let's see how she will react if the real truth slaps her face sooner or later. It was really pointless to have a conversation with her. I do not want to keep on educating her with resistance.

At least she took the whole package, including boosters.

Never Pfizer and Moderna declared that the vaccine is 100% effective, more recent studies showed that AT MOST they are 75% effective. Do not discuss with stupid people, after a while the others could not make the difference.

I do agree that no one claimed this. I even asked her to show the proof so that no need to argue about it.

@Shavkat She cannot have the proof, no pharma company declared that it is 100% effective.

You can still get covid after having all three injections but it wil be lighter. Also most people who have the vaccine won’t get the covid.

Well you can't fix stupid. I just laugh at these people who think that the vaccine is the end all be all and that it is useful in anyway. You are hearing more and more of these people who are getting sick, yet they still believe it is helpful.

@Bensen32 Well, it is not allowed to go out without it in my city. There are corresponding punishments for not wearing face masks.

The worst part is they do not wear face masks in public sometimes. They cannot get to the point that we still need to keep on wearing them. With this situation turned sour, I will try my best to stay away from her.

@Shavkat People with some common sense know that this virus is a new virus. The vaccine produced in such a short time can not prevent this virus 100%, and the virus has been mutating. The virus is so cunning. We still need more brains to look at problems.

If you are not vaccinated please stay away from me---NOTHING is 100% but it has been proven IF you do get the virus and have been infected the symptoms will be a lot less dangerous!

I got two shots of the vaccine. But I am not a hundred percent free from not being infected. As you mentioned, it would be less dangerous.

I keep my mask on around people, so even if they are being stupid, hopefully it won't affect me. You can't change anyone's mind, so there's no reason to get into an argument with them over it. Do your best to take care of yourself and anyone else you care about and move on.

It is a good thing that I was able to know how shallow she thinks. From now on, I am not going to have a substantial conversation with her.

It's baseless to argue much. I just keep silent. You have a valid point. I too agree that getting vaccinated doesn't mean you won't get Covid. It enhances immunity to fight against it. Good thing you did that too

SOme people are just hard headed. You have stated your opinion and that's okay. What's worst is someone thinking that GOD will save them fully with out vaccines or doesn't beleive in vaccines. Its her fault if she chose to be careless.

I don't think the vaccine can resist virus by 100 percent,vaccine just can enhance our immunity and self-protection,I hear of a infected case which was vaccinated.We can insist on ourselves mind,but not necessary to argue with someone stubborn.

There is no absolute thing, It's just that the chances of infection are getting smaller, If a person doesn't listen to you, it's no use saying it again, Because he is not a child, has his own opinions, whether right or wrong, he will do things according to his own judgment

Don't worry. I do not mind if she accepts my opinionated statements or not. After this encounter with her, I am not going to say anything about it. Let her know what would happen in the future. I am not a person that will force someone to agree with me. I just had my case with her and that was it.

I just now realized that in addition to the anti-vax extremists, there are also hyper-vax-believers on the opposite side. And both of them are impediments to the survival of humanity. Lol.
