Not correct. Moderna vaccine has 90-95% prevention rate and 100% in preventing severe disease as things stand now. Pfizer rate is also high.
Also, if what you said were true, isn't that whole point? To stop people from dying? We can't stop people from getting sick for eternity. So what would be the solution? Lockdown for eternity to prevent corona, flu, plague, cholera, measles, mumps, rubella? Because none of the vaccines (if available) are 100% preventive?
Yes, we need to deal with corona, but let's not make the treatment worse than the cure.
Corona is not a simple virus like measles, mumps etc its a pandemic
last pandemic came in 13th century bubonic plague in which 10 to 20 crore or more lost life
after that next big pandemic is corona in 2020 which has affected 220 countries
stop comparing it to small pox, measles, mumps they all never came in full world only small clusters and are not so deadly or infectious as a corona
I am not saying stop life for ever i said till vaccine is given to all stop unnecessary activity as it will endanger life of those around
film viewing is not an essential activity people can live without theatres, malls, tv, radio, sports, serials etc if you ask any doctor they will say same thing
Yes vaccine has 90% effectiveness they are claiming
but research not done to prove it its released in urgency
research on impact of vaccine takes 10 to 12 years who and major scientist told this only
till than we cannot assume vaccine has 90% effectiveness at all
on aged and co morbid it may not work even 90% research must for years to know that which has not be done
in israel people who took 2-3 doses vaccine got corona google it
Thats why scientist has told take vaccine still wear mask, gloves and keep 6 feet distance and avoid going out other than urgent things
There is no cure for corona even those who survive will have long term issues lung damage, nerve damage, kidney damage in various proportions whether you are 35 years or 80 years old
So lets stop assuming that 20,30, 40 year olds are ok and can roam around only those above 60 have to bother or care for their safety
This attitude gives false sense of nothing will happen and make people behave careless like not wearing mask, full occupancy in theatres etc and endanger lives
people will roam around and may not die but they will kill others in neighbourhood or office place or college etc
other virus vacine may not be 100% effective only 95 or98% but no other virus is as deadly and infectious as corona for past 700 years after plague
also when we finally count number dead etc after 20-30 years the nos may be in crores (like they did for plague) only unlike 20-30 lakh that uno saying now. Because not all countries are USA that keeps count of sick and dead and records it. Even USA has failed to count properly the dead in corona with such great medical system. UN only saying this is records not real nos
So better be safe
