I'm still waiting for a vaccine to be available, hopefully there will be one out someday.
When I was young I remember getting my polio vaccine , and I never got polio, not even a slight case of it.
I also got the mumps vaccine, I never got a case of the mumps, or was never told that I may still get the mumps but it would be less than a full blown case of the mumps, and that I should wear PPE to make sure I didn't catch it from some non mumps vax person, you know why because I was vaccinated and it worked.

PFC Andrew "Tommy" M., are you referring to the less than 100% effective rating of preventing infection (versus reducing issues)? I was expecting your answer to MAJ Byron Oyler would be more direct.

MAJ Byron Oyler - There are currently no FDA-licensed vaccines to prevent COVID-19. This guidance describes FDA’s
current recommendations regarding the data and information needed to support the issuance of an
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) under section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) for
an investigational vaccine to prevent COVID-19
You can read it here from the EUA the FDA put out

I was at Knox when I got it....
Me: is this the line for the Covid shot?
Medic: Yeah...sign this...
Me: now what?
Medic: take off your top, gives me a shot, we made awkward eye contact... I walked away
Me: .... what they hell did I just get ... looks at covid vax card 'Moderna'
Got on with my life ....
Only side effect was a slight headache ... but we were doing field training at Knox in early April ... so that could have been caused by any number of things (PVT's, PV2's, PFC's...etc) HA HA

For me at the time it was availability. The federally ran clinic was the only place who had enough doses.
