Corona Virus Vaccine, would you take it?

[Swish]

Some experts have chimed in and said it takes over a year to synthesize a vaccine for anything effectively... this covid one might have been pushed out the door a little too soon.

Not saying "they" didn't do their best with it, but regardless... I'd prefer to wait and see til the first batches are done and what the general consensus is. The fact that some are only 80% or less effective just makes it seem pointless.

I hear it's best to not use anti-biotics too much because your body doesn't learn how to defend itself on it's own.

That makes ZERO sense. I bet you heard stuff about bleach and chloroquine too. Perhaps your body, specifically, has a learning disability?

It's ok, Sleepy Joe forgives your ignorance and is still willing to be your president.

Effective means something different in vaccines.

Ask Lune.

Those "experts" are either not experts or their comments are being misconstrued. A virus that we knew nothing about would take a lot longer, but we had the basic technology for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines already as they were using it for SARS.

They never got critical population penetration w/ SARS in order to continue and conclude trials. With COVID they did. The only things missing or rushed from the COVID trials were some population diversity and the several years of post-vaccine followup they typical do with studies.

In terms of 80% effective, you're using the same stupid logic you hear people (Trumptards and assorted morons) use in the US -- "If it's not 100% effective it doesn't work".

The goal for a vaccine is not a 100% invulnerability shield. In the JnJ vaccine, for example, they had zero deaths and almost no serious illness from COVID.

With these vaccines, the point seems to be to get a shot. You might get a reaction that is like a 24-hour flu that 100% won't kill you. What you get in return is pretty reasonable assurance that you either won't get COVID or, if you do, you'll be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

You morons really need better news sources. There is article after article explaining in detail how this works.

I'm not taking it. Every time I got a flu shot in the Army I got sick as fuck for like 5 days or more. Now that I'm out I Haven't got it in almost 10 years, and haven't got the flu yet. I hear it's best to not use anti-biotics too much because your body doesn't learn how to defend itself on it's own. Maybe if this thing continues to mutate it's going to be best for your body to learn how to fight this thing while it's starting out.

TLDR: if you got the vaccine you finna die.

You got "sick" because your body mounted an immune response to the vaccination. That's a good thing.

You don't use antibiotics for viral infections. Antibiotics are often prescribed for patients with covid pneumonia due to other (bacterial) complications.

Antibiotics are necessary to fight a lot of bacterial infections. The reason you take the entire course of antibiotics or shouldn't use them if you don't actually need them is bacteria can build resistance towards antibiotics, making it more difficult to kill them.

The more you know.
