A very good summary of the COVID-19 Vaccine has this paragraph buried in the seventh section, under “preventing disease and death”.

The vaccine shows an 8-fold reduction in the development of any symptomatic disease secondary to delta. For hospitalization, it is a 25-fold reduction. That’s 25 times! Remarkable. For death, it is also 25 times! This is a very effective pharmaceutical class when looking at overall efficacy toward the intended/expected purpose. When looking at the very tiny side effect profile, I’d personally consider it one of the best overall pharmaceuticals on the market in any class of drugs.

When people ask what the long-term effects of the vaccine are, I get the feeling this guy would tell them “you’re not dead and the people you know and love are not dead”.

If someone in America wanted to market this more successfully, they would have to call it something like the Rambo patriotic personal health defense system.

That cartoonist almost gets it right, since it really should say something like “it’s for protecting against the spread of evil”.

Speaking of graphic illustration, here’s August 2021 data from all the reporting states in America (less than half — Florida and Texas obviously not reporting). Left side shows fully vaccinated (click to enlarge):
