Covid Jab Effective?

[smurfchops]

OH had jab today, he was told by nurse that it is only effective in 1 in 10 people! Is this correct?

[emmie]

heaven only knows, i hope not however

[riptide]

Well, how is it that it was authorised with a 90/95 per cent effective rate, not sure she knows what she is talking about, I would definitely be asking questions of the person in charge where you had this jab, how an earth does she know this.

[bobbinwales]

No. He must of misheard or misundastood. Maybe nurse meant after one jab its only 10% so need to wait for there second to bring up to the 90-95% figure

[bobbinwales]

Sure it was'nt flue jab- thats only about 50% a think

[bhg481]

I wonder if he misheard as 90% effective = 1 in 10 is ineffective.

[jno]

that would make sense, bhg.

[smurfchops]

It does seem odd. Thanks all!

[Old_Geezer]

Get in touch with the other nine and ask who's caught it yet ;-)

[Peter Pedant]

No it is not correct
I think he must have mis-heard
ignore

( I mean that is even worse than typhoid and cholera in the fifties and sixties which er werent very good)
