A passage states that a vaccine prevents disease in 95% of recipients. A critic argues this means 5% of vaccinated people will get the disease. Which response best challenges the critic's interpretation?
-
A
The critic correctly understands vaccine efficacy statistics
-
B
The 95% figure is an efficacy rate comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated groups, not an absolute guarantee for individuals

C
Vaccines never cause any adverse effects so the critic is wrong on all counts
-
D
The 5% failure rate is acceptable and the critic should not raise it
