In the arcane world of virology, "sterilization" means the degree to which the virus itself can be eradicated from the herd (human population). The doctor here apparently doesn't get out much and failed to understand that among the population, the word means "to be infertile." Let's not get carried away, here, he's just using medical jargon when he should be using his "outside voice."
I agree, my daughter just had her second dose...I tried to dissuade her but she is an adult and made her decision. Watching this video it was apparent to me his use of the word sterilization was not in reference to fertility but to the effectiveness of the vaccine. He was saying he felt the vaccine would only be 60-70% effective in inoculation of the recipients of the vaccine
