I suspected that they would help prevent infection and thus be effective against spreading, considering the fairly rapid way that infections started tapering off as the vaccine was deployed. It certainly wasn't conformity to masks and social distancing that did it. Probably a combination of the people who've had it, along with the vaccines.STOP REPEATING THIS NONSENSE, IT ISN'T TRUE AND HASN'T BEEN SAID BY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FOR WEEKS
Yes, initially, scientists said they couldn't be sure that vaccination would prevent asymptomatic infection...because they didn't have any specific data about that because that's not what the Stage 3 trial was designed to observe.
Then results from mass vaccination in Israel and the United Kingdown started coming in, showing very strong protection from infection in real-world conditions.
Over a month ago, the CDC issued a study that showed mRNA vaccines were 90% effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection in a cohort which was fully vaccinated and tested weekly for 13 consecutive weeks.
Bottom line: YES, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are highly effective at preventing infection with COVID-19.
The purpose of a vaccine is to train the immune system to fight something when you get it. Big difference...THat's fine if you have had COVID. The purpose of the vaccine is to prevent you from getting it in the first place. Not to prevent reinfection. Although, the vaccine likely does prevent re-infection as well.
That's how vaccines work. The vaccine cannot prevent a virus from entering your system. It can only help control the response to the virus.The purpose of a vaccine is to train the immune system to fight something when you get it. Big difference...
Vaccines don't just illicit an immune response after you "get" an illness; the entire point of a vaccine is to prevent you from "getting" an illness in the first place.
As mentioned upthread, a vaccine cannot prevent you from being exposed to an infectious disease and it entering your body. That said, a vaccine prepares your immune system to identify the infectious disease and destroy it before it replicates enough to actually infect you, make you contagious, or become symptomatic with disease. In that situation, yes a virus would have entered your body - but you were never infected with it because your immune system fought it off before that happened.
The problem with SARS-CoV-2 is the body hasn't seen it before; it was a novel human coronavirus and therefore we collectively had little if any immune response until the virus replicated to the point of infection and symptoms.
There is speculation that previous recent infection with a human coronavirus (a few of which cause common colds, along with adenoviruses, RSV, etc.) may have conferred some level of protection from SARS-CoV-2 infection due to B & T-cell memory, but last I saw that has not been scientifically confi

This kinda depends on which definition of infected you are using. If it enters your body and gets in a fight with your immune system, one definition says you are already infected because you are contaminated and it doesn't matter if your immune system wins or loses. Other definitions say infected means you actually have the disease.Vaccines don't just illicit an immune response after you "get" an illness; the entire point of a vaccine is to prevent you from "getting" an illness in the first place.

Using printcraft's family-friendly version of the infamous Johnny Cash photo. (it's not really a thumbs up)ABC's Hostin: 'We Need to Shun Those Who Refuse to Get Vaccinated' -- No Vax, No Entry
ABC News legal analyst and co-host of "The View" Sunny Hostin said on Monday's broadcast that "we need to shun those that refuse to get vaccinated" from public businesses and modes of transportation. | Clipswww.breitbart.com
"Hostin added, “I say we need to shun those that refuse to get vaccinated. Just like now in certain states, many states, I know in New York there are signs on storefronts on businesses all across the state no mask, no entry. I think if you have not been vaccinated, no entry. You want to get on a plane. You have to be vaccinated. If those people don’t want to get vaccinated, that’s fine for you, but you can’t spread it to other people that are vaccinated. You can spread it to other people— rather that aren’t vaccinated. You don’t get the liberties that come with immunity. Something has to break. If that’s your personal choice not to get vaccinated, you don’t then get to infringe on the rights of those who have chosen to protect their fellow citizens.”ABC's Hostin: 'We Need to Shun Those Who Refuse to Get Vaccinated' -- No Vax, No Entry

Many police officers spurn coronavirus vaccines as departments hold off on mandates

Police officers were among the first front-line workers to gain priority access to coronavirus vaccines. But their vaccination rates are lower than or about the same as those of the general public, according to data made available by some of the nation’s largest law enforcement agencies.
