Quote:
Preliminary data from the hundreds of thousands of Israelis who have received two shots of the vaccine show 98% efficacy and no risk of transmission of the virus.
The vaccine negativity / fear-mongering were talking about effectiveness after the first dose. Pfizer/Biontech showed the infection curves veering apart at around 11 days after the first dose.

See Figure 3.
95% effectiveness starting 1 week after 2nd dose in the trial, and so far 98% in the real world setting is outstanding.
Now we just have to hope enough people get vaccinated quickly enough such that the virus doesn't mutate away from protection, and that the immunity (antibodies and T-cells) provides long lasting protection without any long term safety issues.
