the ability to produce a desired or intended result.

When they say the vax has a 95% efficacy what does that mean?
Here's the current definition
the ability to produce a desired or intended result.
So what was the desired or intended result?
Vaccines before Covid have always been to stop transmission. Now it seems iike they have changed it to mean it keeps you from getting sicker.
They have actually said now it was never meant to stop transmission but then what did 95% efficacy mean?
I asked this in another thread and the Big Pharma drug pushers (you know who they are) wouldn't answer
I bet they ignore this too
A vaccine’s efficacy is measured in a controlled clinical trial and is based on how many people who got vaccinated developed the ‘outcome of interest’ (usually disease) compared with how many people who got the placebo (dummy vaccine)
Vaccines have never only been about stopping onward transmission

Such a Bull S### lie. Where are all the breakthrough cases of small pox and polio?
And why are they called breakthrough cases?
What are they breaking through?

You will have to go tell all those anti vaxers who for years told us vaccines weren't about preventing transmission...
Now if you are going to call me a liar you can of course provide a link showing that vaccines were only ever about preventing transmission?

The vaccine protection ( I would have thought that was fairly obvious).
Where is your link supporting your claim I am lying?

Nope they just struggled to understand that there can be more than one benefit to vaccination, as apparently do you.

In other words, a vaccine is supposed to produce immunity and keep you from getting ill. If it has 95% efficacy, then we would expect that it produces a response that protects against illness 95% of the time.
Clearly, COVID vaccines never did that.

What protection though? Breakthrough cases means someone who was supposed to be prevented from getting it contracted it. Breakthrough has nothing to do with severity, so what was it supposed to be protecting against of it is not about prevention?
