Refusing vaccine produces 100% immunity against COVID-19?
"Under the dosing regimen where volunteers were first given half a dose of the vaccine, followed by a full dose at least one month apart, efficacy was 90 per cent.
But when volunteers were given two full doses at least one month apart, efficacy was 62 per cent." https://www.straitstimes.com/world/...d-19-vaccine-can-be-90-effective-results-show
I.e. if u take full first dose, u get 62% immunity.
If u take half dose, u get 90% immunity.
Then if u take zero dose, by extension u get 100% immunity?
No?
Someone please explain this in simple English.
Looks like the situation is not so simple, maybe the dose needs to be adjusted according to gender, body weight, age, race, weather, continent, strain of COVID-19 involved etc etc.
Could also be that if u check education, political affiliation and income level etc, the response to vaccine may also be different.
