I said we won’t get herd immunity with a 50-60% vaccination rate which is also why we can’t get herd immunity to the flu; people refusing vaccinations. Your point related to colds doesn’t apply for reasons I have explained in detail. Repeatedly.

An efficacy rate of 95% means 5% of the fully vaccinated people still get infected because the efficacy rate isn’t 100%. It means out of 100 fully vaccinated people, 95 won’t get infected while 5 people will. That seems self explanatory to me. Sorry I didn’t explain what effective means to you sooner.

“COVID 19-vaccines are effective. They can keep you from getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.”
Which means the vaccine can prevent you from being infected with the virus that causes Covid-19. And if you don’t get it then you can’t spread something you don’t have. Which is the entire point of vaccines; to prevent infections.
The info is all there at the CDC. All you have to do is read.
