Actually, it's the 79% that's being questioned. The age data magically disappeared from the public discourse. (So did blood type related and info w.r.t. serious results if you get COVID).

The important part . . . if it's true . . . is protection from serious illness. I wasn't worried about catching COVID so much as being hospitalized and/or dying because of it. They claim it's 100% effective for that. Their claims, however, have just gotten a kick in the nuts.

My Pfizer second shot plus two weeks happened yesterday. Shopping without gloves, taking mail in and opening it the same day, and for the shopping, not sanitizing all the food. Mrs. Wife actually went to a restaurant with a friend (she had Moderna a week earlier to start so we graduated together).

Irony: Oxford/AstraZeneca had a major head start over all the other vaccines (the Oxford part). Lesson learned: the new technology, mRNA, is going to be amazingly important because of both flexibility and development speed. And not containing any infectious vectors, dead or weakened.
