(11,256 posts)That's such a ridiculous anti-vaxxer talking point, so it's great that the data is starting to show just the opposite.

(7,447 posts)just tell them you don't have insurance and don't get it from the same provider.
How are they going to track it?

(2,868 posts)First, if it turns out to be the case, great.
BUT. They haven't existed very long, and the data is in the opposite direction. Brittan does a nationwide aggregated anti-body rate, and it's been declining.
Plus, it's far more likely we will need booster shots because of a mutant variant that the current vaccines are no longer highly effective against, before the vaccine immunity declines.

Btw, the majority of people in the UK did not get mRNA vaccines so your comparison is basically pointless.

(16,366 posts)First, a calendar. No opinion required.
Second, the Brits got jabbed with plenty of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Anything else I can clear up for ya?

First off, both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines . . . . -

A Closer Look at How COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Work
COVID-19 vaccines
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a harmless piece of what is called the spike protein. The spike protein is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.
First, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are given in the upper arm muscle. Once the instructions (mRNA) are inside the immune cells, the cells use them to make the protein piece. After the protein piece is made, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of them.
Next, the cell displays the protein piece on its surface. Our immune systems recognize that the protein doesnt belong there and begin building an immune response and making antibodies, like what happens in natural infection against COVID-19.
At the end of the process, our bodies have learned how to protect against future infection. The benefit of mRNA vaccines, like all vaccines, is those vaccinated gain this protection without ever having to risk the serious consequences of getting sick with COVID-19.
