Comment on Ask HN: Do you regret getting the Covid-19 vaccine?parent

Comments

Ok, let me quote exactly what I just said:

"We're talking about if they were ever claimed to be 100% effective....if you overpromise at the beginning, you lose your credibility, and then you get cheap shots."

EFFICACY is a different word than effective.

https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/sanofi-gsk-covid-vaccin...

“New vaccine demonstrates 100% efficacy against severe COVID, hospitalizations”

The articles I linked used the two words interchangably. Clearly that distinction isn't relevant to the layperson audience. You're just playing with words.
