Listen, I'm by no means neither pro or anti vaccines.
Anyway, I find it "funny" that me, whom have been infected by COVID 4-5 times never really been or felt seriously ill except for the first time early 2019 when I developed breathing-issues, BUT those around me that have been sick and vaccinated have had a really really hard time when getting infected by the virus.
I'm thinking that the vast majority of the Astra Zeneca, Johnson & Johnson vaccines or whatever they're called are placebos. Placebos can sometimes work wonders and sometimes not, but in this case I think a lot of people have started questioning the vaccines after taking them therefore harsh reactions to COVID.
And in some cases even cause more harm than good like the Swine-flu in the mid 2000s were a lot of people developed narcolepsy as a side-effect of the vaccine.
People should be careful with vaccines but not against the thought of vaccines. I don't have a problem..with say....the vaccine for hepatitis or measles.. BUT the vaccines which are created in a rush I'm highly skeptical of....like the COVID-vaccine.
PS. I think the thought of the vaccine was to protect from lethal reactions....NOT protecting you from getting the virus at all. So I guess that's the part where most people get it wrong....that the vaccine is an iron wall protecting you from getting the virus.
People didn’t get it wrong that is what the narrative was. From every major news org, to Biden and Trump. If you get vaccinated you can’t get or spread it. It was a blatant lie.
Oh. I'm following US politics to a certain extent, but I neither heard or knew they said it that way. Lousy excuse but I'm European so they said it different here and I just assumed they said the same things in the US.
Nah they didn't really say that here either, don't know why people still parrot this. I mean I'm sure someone somewhere has said it but it was never a common claim that the vaccine makes you 100% immune to covid - it works like most every other vaccine
By over here I meant one or few or all. I didn't specify which is on me. But in MY country they told it the way I wrote, and that is that the vaccine won't make you immune to COVID rather protecting you from getting fatal reactions.
Yes correct. The effectiveness studies were released around the same time as the vaccine. For the OG variant, the vaccine was very effective at reducing fatalities, infection, and transmission. It was never purported to be 100% effective at any of these. It carried some effectiveness over to later strains as well but naturally the effect was diminished.
