The effectiveness percentage itself is highly misleading because it refers to the Relative Risk Reduction, which is a relatively meaningless comparison of people in a much greater number of study participants, and not the Absolute Risk Reduction., which compares the number of people benefitting from the shot against all people taking the shot, which is the gold standard. I have the Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J original study results. In optimal pre-variant circumstances, the Absolute Risk Reduction for each was BELIOW 2%. For Pfizer it actually was under 1%. This is real and provable with their own data. These things never worked. And only healthy adults participated in those studies, no children, pregnant women, or people with a variety of medical ailments.

People also should know that in 2017 the FDA was putting out guidance suggesting that ONLY Absolute Risk Refuction may be advertised by Pharma companies for purposes of truth in advertising because it is the true measure of effectiveness, comparing those benefitting against the entire universe of those receiving the shot, making is a true comparison for purposes of effectiveness. If the current advertised effectiveness rate for children is 54%, you can safely bet that fewer than 1% are benefitting on an Absolute Risk Reduction basis. In other words, it is grossly misleading and is absolutely not worth the risk.
