WTF are you talking about. Read these articles slower and also use other sources:
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/measles/index.html
Read it carefully:
One dose is about 93% effective while two doses of the vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles
Non of the vaccines give 100% protection. It does not mean you cannot be "infected" - once this virus will enter your system, your immune system will generate appropriate defence to kill it before it will vastly spread and make you severely ill. These are totally different diseases and you cannot compare every disease to Covid.
He is saying that this vaccine has not been that effective hahahahahahahhahahah OMG
Hmmm considering the ratio of people being infected to the amount of people ending up in the hospitals specially elderly ones - yea, this vaccine is not that effective hahahahahahahhahaha
Opinion: If immigrants are fit, willing and able, let’s certify them
Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, many of them highly skilled, choose to make Canada their home. Far too often, however, skilled newcomers struggle to find work in their professions. They face significant financial and regulatory barriers that prevent them from fully integrating into the Canadian labour market and the sectors where their skills, training and experience are desperately needed.
Canadians obviously want to know that the various professionals they encounter are fully qualified. But raising certification barriers too high affects real people and their families and puts a damper on the Canadian economy. So it is good that new Ontario legislation may help speed up licencing for skilled newcomers — though it doesn’t go nearly far enough.
I recently met Moez, a trained pharmacist who immigrated from India in 2015. Despite working two jobs packaging orders at restaurants in Calgary he was not able to afford the cost of re-licensing to practice pharmacy in Canada. Relicensing costs for internationally trained pharmacists range from $9,000 to $25,000, depending on the province and the requirements to be fulfilled.
Such stories are common among immigrants. We’ve all heard of or met internationally-trained doctors, nurses or engineers who make a living driving taxis because they can’t get the certifications they need to work here — even though we are facing severe labour shortages in critical sectors such as health care as Canadian-born boomers retire. Job vacancies reached a record high in Canada in the third quarter of 2021, with 118,000, one-fifth of the total, reported in the health-care and social assistance sector. Employing skilled immigrants to fill these gaps will be key to Canada’s post-COVID recovery.
The good news is that recent legislation in Ontario amending The Fair Access to Regulated Professions and Compulsory Trades Act will significantly reduce licensing barriers for skilled newcomers. This first-of-its-kind legislation in the country will eliminate Canadian work experience requirements for certain professional registrations and licensing and reduce the duplication of official language proficiency testing for certain professional registrations and licensing, thus making newcomers employable faster in Canada.
This legislation is a step forward but we also need to address the sometimes high cost of licensing and reaccreditation. Re-licensing costs are often too high, and the process can take years to complete. In the meantime, our skilled immigrants languish in “survival” jobs, as their prospects for professional integration erode.
Let’s return to Moez. Fortunately, his story has a happy ending. He was referred to the national charity I head, Windmill Microlending, and we were able to provide both the advice and the affordable loan he needed to get certified and employed a pharmacist in Canada. He is now employed by Public Health Alberta and works on COVID-19 case investigations.
Not all support for new immigrants has to come from taxpayers. Charities play a vital role in their success. Over the past 16 years, Windmill has provided over 6,000 loans to help immigrants, including refugees, integrate into the labour market. Our low-interest loans of up to $15,000 can make all the difference: our clients more than triple their incomes , on average, by the time they repay their loans.
Talent is in short supply globally. Countries that attract and integrate internationally trained talent into their labour markets will be best positioned to compete. We need to do a better job of making sure the only barriers to labour market integration are legitimate ones.

Ohhhh boy. Read a little bit more about it and stop saying this s*** which is proven to be just s****. They are effective.
Suddenly the thread turned into discussion of this topic.
I’m curious, if “vaccine” is so effective why 80% of people that are getting infected now are fully jabbed, and 35% of those 80% are boosted too.
vaccine is possibly effetive against first strain from 2019 that is long gone.
Here is an interesting study:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1
TLDR:
Here is a short snapshot:
Results SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.

A vaccine that's 90% effective (which is probably the lowest estimate and most are more effective) will leave you with a 10% chance of dying from COVID or being permanently disabled from long COVID if you take it. If you don't take it, you have a much higher chance of dying or being disabled than 10%. Most vaccines have an under 1% rate of giving you serious side effects if you don't have certain medical conditions (which is also a higher estimate).
So in essence, you consult your doctor and take something that'll 90% keep you safe and 99% not have side effects than taking nothing and drinking horse dewormer instead. That's the math for you. It's really not hard to figure out what's the best choice.
Not peer reviewed . It's as good as me writing up something and posting it
Mate he's not anti vax or saying it isn't effective. He is just saying the effects are temporary and that the current vaccines aren't a long-term solution.
Same as flu shots don't prevent flu for life
