The newly available vaccines have been criticized for claiming >90% effectiveness in preventing COVID-19 as judged by people developing two or more symptoms as the criteria to get tested for confirmation of illness. So the critics say, this leaves the possibility that up to 20% of people might still get infected, but remain asymptomatic. But wouldn’t those people very likely have benefitted nonetheless? Isn’t preventing symptoms what is most needed? And wouldn’t a mild, asymptomatic infection serve to further bolster their immunity and be a gain rather than a loss?

A mutant form of the COVID-19 virus first surfaced in September in Britain, but already accounts for more than 60 percent of new cases in London and neighboring areas. Is it true that this new SARS-CoV-2 mutant, called B.1.1.7, is more transmissible than previous forms of the COVID-19 virus, or is it just being spread artificially with greater intensity?
