How do we know that we are not some of the 15% for whom it doesn't work.
The antibody test isn't being offered is it?

Lets say you have cancer. You know it will likely kill you if left
untreated. You are offered treatment with say a 70% success rate, based on
surviving 5 years plus. Do you turn it down and wait for a 100% successful
treatment?


The 70% 'success' rate is just an average. Most cancer sufferers
are naive enough to believe that they will live for 5 more years
during which time they will miraculoulsy do all those things that
they haven't bothered to do in the previous NN+ years.
