In a recent article labeled under FactCheck.org's Sci-Check titled "Aaron Rodgers’ Inaccurate COVID-19 Claims", the fact checker made false claims themselves.

No Vaccine is 100% Effective

Sci-Check makes the claim that no vaccine is 100% effective in defense of COVID-19 vaccines in response to Rodgers inquiry “If the vaccine is so great, then how come people are still getting COVID and spreading COVID and, unfortunately, dying from COVID?”. This is misleading and needs context.

There are several vaccines that are 100% effective. The varicella (chickenpox) vaccine is 100% effective in preventing death and the tetanus, immunity is considered 100% effective in preventing death under certain conditions.

This is simply a false claim.

FactCheck.org, through SciCheck, falsely claims that no vaccine is 100% effective.
