Lego Vaccine Logic

Now that I got the COVID vaccine, I don't have to wear a mask anymore. Oh No, you still need to wear a mask. You also can't go back to work. What's the point of the vaccine then? So you don't die But I have a 99.95% chance of not dying even without the vaccine Yes, and the vaccine is 95% effective. So that gives you a 194.95% chance of not dying. Follow the science.

A Lego-style comic shows a masked healthcare worker explaining COVID vaccine precautions to another Lego person. The punchline mocks a misunderstanding of vaccine effectiveness by adding percentages incorrectly, turning “95% effective” and “99.95% chance” into an absurd 194.95% chance of not dying. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to flawed anti-vaccine or statistical arguments.
