95% effective vaccine, what does that mean

[Topgunben]

Not trolling, but curious what 90% effectiveness means for a vaccine that is used to treat a virus with a survival rate of 99.9%

Not trying to be a hater, but how can this possibly be measured with any degree of accuracy when the tests themselves aren't even close to accurate?

It means in 5 years people stop having baby's.

remember the episode where penecillin was never invented and everything came in vacuum sealed pouches, and if you so much as coughed the coof-gestapo would haul you away and incinerate your ass, because strep throat was a death sentance?

and then like 2 episodes later Hillary Clinton was the president....

I totally remember that episode and there being like a drug store fiasco or something and the government being like super communist or something, but I can't remember the hillary episode but now I have to watch the whole series again.

Another episode I loved was the one where everyone lived and worked in the giant shopping mall. Or the one where they play Football Jeprody haha omg

There's a great episode of The Orville where they go to a space ship that is like earth and everyone is like backwards back in time and it like, is basically a Sliders episode.

it means there is a chance you can still get it but its a lot less of a chance and the odds of you getting super duper sick is even slimmerer. hence 90% effective
