I'm flagging this for spreading misinformation.

WHO:

"[..] measles, which we know to be about 98% effective"

"Most routine childhood vaccines are effective for 85% to 95% of recipients"

https://www.who.int/vaccine_safety/initiative/detection/immu...




You seem to think that the efficacy post-inoculation remains static throughout a persons 80 year lifespan.

That's a very unscientific assumption. Vaccines regularly lose efficacy, which is why 85% for the 'best' is reasonable.
