eventually... that's the question. having COVID is not sufficient to avoid vaccination. we're told herd immunity won't happen until x% are vaccinated. Not that have antibodies, but received a vaccine
I would like to see data of antibody titers six months after infection vs six months after vaccine
Covid kills about 1 in 200 of the people it infects, based on current estimated infection fatality rate of 0.5%Not until I know the vaccine has a lower chance of killing me than the disease. Right now the disease has almost zero chance of killing me.
When I saw my doctor for my physical yesterday I asked him if he had any concerns about the new vaccines. He said his only concern was that there wouldn't be enough. I thinks everyone should get it.
Is that the pronoun you meant, or should it read "He thinks..."?
Assuming you don’t work for yourself, your employer potentially may be able to compel you to do so. And for the record, I don’t like that either.
Yes, the first one available to me.
Not because I'm afraid of the clinical impact of the virus (I'm not), but because my job requires travel and I don't want to risk potentially being the one to make my parents or in-laws (who are at MUCH greater risk than an in-shape 37 year old) sick.
I know two people who participated in the Pfizer trial and one in the Moderna trial; all had simple side effects similar to influenza & tetanus vaccines (soreness at injection site, mild fatigue, elevated temp to low-mid 99s) for a day or two after each injection. None had to take any time off work. None have grown at third eye, turned into vampires or zombies, become infertile, or started receiving 5G data in their brain yet.
I've read from what I understand at least one of the vaccines doesn't prevent you from catching/carrying it, just prevents the actual "sickness" if you do.
Doctors who do this type of research will always say transmission is possible UNTIL they have PROVED that it can’t. It doesn’t mean it will.
My understanding is that there is not yet enough data to say whether or not you will be contagious. In theory a vaccinated personwho gets Covid might replicate and shed some virus before their immune system shut it down. As the studies get further along more will be known about that and hopefully it will turn out there is not viral shedding, or at least not much.
Dude. I think you should read what I wrote again.100% wrong. The vaccine introduces mRNA into you, which causes your cells to produce and release the surface proteins of the virus, which you then have an immune response to. There is no live virus, dead virus, virus parts, etc.
The shameful and willful ignorance of y'all is shocking. Honestly.
