The fundamental formula is to measure the percentage reduction in disease risk among vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated people.
The initial efficacy values were calculated on the initial 'alpha' strain of SARS-CoV-2.
Although mutation is a fairly random event, in the time-frame of the approval of the immunizations, COVID-19 was spreading to larger and larger host population sizes and the likelihood of new strains appearing increases with the number of hosts in which it may mutate.
After the initial strain of SARS-CoV-2, it diverged into multiple strains with changes to the spike protein, resulting in less efficacy to the initial formulation of the immunization, and greater infectiousness of the disease.
The recombinant nature of further new strains showed that unlike with the alpha strain, which had almost died out entirely, the new strains were infecting people at exactly the same time, in a mix of strains.
This means that even if the immunization were to be reformulated for greater efficacy against one particular strain, it would still be less effective against the other strains inhabiting each host.
You may find this very interesting. It is dealing with Ebola but could also apply to Covid.

I looked up the sources he referenced.

The vaccine was green lit November 19, 2019.

January 19, 2020 was when the first American tested positive for Covid-19.
The first death was February [28], 2020 in Seattle. This is significant because Bill Gates had funded the Seattle flu study which ended up identifying that Covid was spreading undetected in Seattle.
Now for some weirdness.
Gates decided to fund this through the Brotman Baty Institute. The team created a new diagnostic tool, process and share the results and perform quality checks to make sure all the work was valid. So far good.
In 2018 & 2019 they tested more than 11,000 cases of flu and sequenced more than 2,300 influenza genomes.... #23 Billy's approved number.
By February 2020 a genomics researcher named Lea Starita had developed her own PCR test for Covid and her team began running it in a few hundred samples that they had gathered for the flu study. Page 71.
At the time, only 18 Covid cases had been confirmed through testing in all of West Washington. The team was finding very different results.
Because they were using the patient's samples on Covid and not the flu - "revealing the results of that test test to anyone - even to the patient or, much less to public health officials- was another matter. It would be a violation of the flu study's research protocols."
This when there was a potential health threat emerging.
"Also their Covid test had been approved for use in research studies, but not in medical settings."
There was no way to get their tests authorized because the CDC had not established any rules for approving Covid tests.
So here we have this group, funded by Bill Gates where they can see the spread and they couldn't tell anyone.
When they finally advised the government they were ordered to shut down. That is weird.
The CDC kept pivoting allowing them to start and then shut them down again and then restart. That is weird.
On June 10, the team took up testing again.
This is from Billy's plandemic manual.
June 10th is when Billy is to testify.
Gates at any point in time could have stepped in and influenced the CDC because after all he was a close friend of Fauci. But he did nothing and watched the spread. He was funding it so he would have know the results. Evil.
