This article fails to mention the BY FAR most significant benefit of the vaccine which is: achieving herd immunity

We should be as accurate as possible with when talking about vaccine but throwing around statics(or should we say "Vaccine Statistics") like:

> "the death rate among the vaccinated, if infected with COVID, can be 3 to 5.7 times higher than the death rate of the unvaccinated."

is not exactly providing the big picture context needed for a productive social discussion.

The article suggests focusing "real efficacy". Before the vaccine program started there were ~4000 deaths per day in the US, now there are ~100. Clearly it is very effective at reducing death.
