Should we wait until we get a vaccine that prevents the Brazil

The current one is predicted as being 50% effective, a coin toss.
The effectiveness on the C-19 is 95%. A slot machine.
How bad is your medical plan if you have to come here to ask for medical
advice? :-)

I don't think the root of his problems is his medical plan. Calling a 95%
effective vaccine a slot machine says it all.

Why not?
Putting your quarter in a slot machine is ~95% effective over time.
(at least the ones close to the door) Statistically you get back about
95% of what you put in.
C-19 Covid vaccine protects about 95% of those vaccinated.
Just like the slots you can have a lucky streak and vaccinate 475
people with no infections and the next 25 you vaccinate could get
infected next week. It is going to be more random tho.
