They make it sound like it merely reduces or eliminates symptoms which is not immunity. PSPS Nov 2020 #1

The 11 in the vaccine group versus the 185 who got Covid in the placebo group shows immunity Klaralven Nov 2020 #2

They say "developed COVID-19 symptoms," not "became infected." It's not a vaccine. PSPS Nov 2020 #18

Some people don't develop immunity because of their own immune response. NutmegYankee Nov 2020 #3

There's nothing in this story that claims it has any effect on infection, just the symptoms. PSPS Nov 2020 #19

So what you are saying is you know very little about vaccines? NutmegYankee Nov 2020 #28

Vaccines prevent infection. Palliatives alleviate or eliminate symptoms. PSPS Nov 2020 #34

Doubling down is never helpful. nt NutmegYankee Nov 2020 #36

Vaccines don't stop viruses from attempting to infect you. roamer65 Nov 2020 #4

I am not sure how one can aim to get a specific vaccine at this point. LisaL Nov 2020 #7

I don't trust Pfizer. roamer65 Nov 2020 #16

I don't think anybody is gong to make you to get the vaccine. LisaL Nov 2020 #17

There may be multiple ones available. roamer65 Nov 2020 #23

You might have to go to China to get that one. LisaL Nov 2020 #25

I read China is shipping it out to other countries. roamer65 Nov 2020 #30

Unless FDA approves it, you won't be able to get it in the US. LisaL Nov 2020 #32

Correct. roamer65 Nov 2020 #33

Merely reducing symptoms is not a vaccine. PSPS Nov 2020 #20

By your opinion there are no vaccines. roamer65 Nov 2020 #22

Of course it does: Polio, smallpox, measles, etc. PSPS Nov 2020 #24

No. People can still have sub clinical infections of measles. roamer65 Nov 2020 #31

Yes, those are the people in whom the vaccine was ineffective. PSPS Nov 2020 #35

NIH says otherwise. roamer65 Nov 2020 #37

Vaccine should make it impossible to be infected? Nonsense. LisaL Nov 2020 #5

You are incorrect PSPS Nov 2020 #15

So you think you know better than Dr. Fauci? LisaL Nov 2020 #21

I'm not saying it's useless or undesirable. It's just the misuse of the term "vaccine." PSPS Nov 2020 #27

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are far better than expected DrToast Nov 2020 #6

How does one get either one of these vaccines? This is the question. LisaL Nov 2020 #8

Looks like the CDC is meeting to sort all that out DrToast Nov 2020 #10

I could be among the second priority to get the COVID shot meow2u3 Nov 2020 #9

Why did only 185 in the placebo group develop symptoms? LeftInTX Nov 2020 #11

What do you mean? DrToast Nov 2020 #12

OK Thx..Thought they intentionally exposed them LeftInTX Nov 2020 #14

Once again I will ask if the subjects of the study continued other COVID protocols... Hugin Nov 2020 #26

They were told to continue on as normal as far as I can tell. LisaL Nov 2020 #29
