Fully vaccinated seniors are 94 percent less likely to be hospitalized with covid-19

The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines being deployed to fight the coronavirus pandemic are highly effective in preventing hospitalizations among older adults, the group most at risk for severe disease and death, according to a federal study released Wednesday.
While not surprising, the results are reassuring because they provide the first real-world evidence in the United States that both vaccines prevent severe covid-19 illness, as they did in clinical trials, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
In the study, fully vaccinated adults 65 and older were 94 percent less likely to be hospitalized with covid-19 than than unvaccinated people of the same age, according to the CDC. People who were partially vaccinated were 64 percent less likely to be hospitalized with the disease than the unvaccinated.

The fatality rate for seniors dying of COVID is already less than 5%, and that's without any experimental mystery concoction being involved.

So...what you are saying is that over 500,000 mostly elderly people having died of Covid is OK with you?
What if one of those 500,000 was your parent or grandparent?
Still acceptable?

I received my first shot of the vaccine last week, and I felt no side effects afterward other than soreness at the site of injection. This was Moderna.
You got the sugar pill. 20% are part of a control group and are nothing but saline solution.
