That is contrary to every claim about the vaccines used in North America.Isn't that kind of circular reasoning? How do we know it is significantly less effective? Because it didn't seem to work in Chile, right?
As far as I know, all the COVID-19 vaccines we have make the body produce between 8 times and 50 times more antibodies than an actual COVID-19 infection would make, and that varies much more between individual people than between the vaccines.
It should be impossible that 10% of vaccinated people end up in ICU when they get COVID, given that only 5% of unvaccinated people even end up being hospitalized. 80% of people who carry COVID-19 have no symptoms whatsoever.
