Vaccines work, not all vaccines work nearly as well as these.
Take flu vaccines (which are less effective, similar to covid vaccines).. they do work, they do reduce cases... But they can not and never will eliminate the disease or reach the 99% numbers we see from other vaccines.
This is important because we dont want people to have unrealistic expectations when it comes to the potential of vaccines. They should know that not all vaccines, in fact probably the majority, wont get you numbers like these.

I read this story last year - we might be getting a much better vaccine in the very near future based from mRNA technology!
