Few health care workers infected with COVID after full vaccination: Study
ABC News ^ | 24 Mar 2021 | Erin Schumaker

Infections among health care workers who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 are extremely rare, according to a new study.

Researchers examined data from employee health records of more than 36,600 health care workers in California and found that ​less than 1% tested positive for COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated...

...Of the 36,659 workers vaccinated, 379 tested positive after their first vaccine dose, with the majority of those individuals testing positive within two weeks of their first shot. After receiving both doses of the two-shot vaccine, 37 people tested positive, with the majority testing positive less than a week after their second dose. Only seven health workers tested positive 15 days or more after their second vaccination.

Not a single vaccinated health care worker who contracted COVID-19 was hospitalized or died and those who did get sick appeared to have milder symptoms ..

Few were infected before the injections too.

Brazil is one of the most vaccinated nations on earth. Even pregnant women are given vaccinations. In light of this, What do you think of this 2017-2018 Military Study?

Maybe I do live most of my life in astonishment. But I’m not living my life in abject and willful ignorance like you must be.

Why Can't Drug Companies Be Sued for Vaccine Injuries?

When most drugs cause harm, the pharmaceutical companies that make them can be sued in product liability lawsuits. But that isn't the case with vaccines. In 1986, Congress passed a law that protects vaccine manufacturers from being sued in civil personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits resulting from vaccine injuries.

Both drugmakers and federal government officials admit that although vaccines are created with the purpose of keeping the public safe, they can cause rare but serious, and sometimes fatal, side effects.

In the 1970s and 80s, drugmakers paid out millions to plaintiffs in hundreds of vaccine-related injury lawsuits. The litigation was complex and expensive because of how difficult it is to show epidemiological cause and effect in these cases.

Eventually, some drugmakers decided to stop making vaccines altogether. This drew alarm from public health officials, who worried about sustaining existing vaccines and also the development of new vaccines.

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act

Congress stepped in with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (the Vaccine Act) as a way to ensure that the injured would receive compensation, but also to protect drugmakers from open-ended liability.

In 2011, an important United States Supreme Court ruling clarified the type of lawsuits vaccine manufacturers are protected from under the Vaccine Act. In a 6-2 decision, the Court ruled that the federal law protects drugmakers from design-defect claims as long as the vaccine was properly manufactured and carried adequate warnings labels.

There has been no change to any PCR testing in the United States.

The vaccine manufacturers do NOT state that the vaccines do not confer immunity. What they stated was that the issue of infection protection was not studied in the clinical trials because that isn’t what clinical trials are for.

Israel has released their own data and shown that the vaccines prevent 94% of infections: https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-pfizer-israel-int/pfizer-biontech-say-data-suggests-vaccine-94-effective-in-preventing-asymptomatic-infection-idUSKBN2B31IW

The assertions are a joke.

First, they aren’t gene therapies. It’s ridiculous to call any of them that. None of them interact with DNA in any way. None of them have any ability to unwind DNA, nor make cuts, nor perform inserts, nor repair DNA. Each of those steps requires a whole host of very complex technologies and ingredients which are not listed. And none of them would use mRNA as part of that process. That’s biologically backwards. DNA is transcribed into mRNA; NOT the other way around. Backwards.

Second, they clearly are vaccines based on the data we have in the US with healthcare workers as well as the data Israel has been publishing showing that they prevent 94% of COVID-19 infections (https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-pfizer-israel-int/pfizer-biontech-say-data-suggests-vaccine-94-effective-in-preventing-asymptomatic-infection-idUSKBN2B31IW) and not just severe symptoms.

For comparison, the smallpox vaccine that wiped smallpox off the face of the Earth is 95% effective.

Modified RNA has a direct effect on DNA

https://phys.org/news/2020-01-rna-effect-dna.html

In areas of DNA where RNA binds to one of the DNA threads in such a way that the complementary DNA thread becomes the sole thread (R-loop structures), the DNA stability will change if RNA is chemically modified by m6A.

“Several research groups are now working together to study what effect this can have on the DNA molecule. We already know that R-loop areas are associated with sequences of DNA containing active genes and that this can lead to chromosomal breakage and the loss of genetic information,” explains Klungland.

What is epigenetics?

https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/howgeneswork/epigenome/

DNA modifications that do not change the DNA sequence can affect gene activity.

Epigenetic changes can help determine whether genes are turned on or off and can influence the production of proteins in certain cells, ensuring that only necessary (desired) proteins are produced.

Because errors in the epigenetic process, such as modifying the wrong gene or failing to add a compound to a gene, can lead to abnormal gene activity or inactivity, they can cause genetic disorders. Conditions including cancers, metabolic disorders, and degenerative disorders have all been found to be related to epigenetic errors.

I work in a small rural Hosp. sometimes.

I'm not taking the VAX...

I think I already had the 19 over a year ago.

The VAX has been offered to me 3 times...

I've declined 3 times.

I'm pretty healthy..Have not been sick in many years.

I do have soreness...and a bad knee. HA!!

But I ain't taking the VAX...

Your mileage may vary.

my mileage does vary. I care for my 95 year old father in law and my 8 year old daughter. either of which I wish to bring it too. I also want to see my grandkids and my d-i-l asked that those of us that work i. covid u it’s be vaccinated before we visit. There are many reasons to get or not get the vaccine. Other than I have people spreading hysterical rumors that have no basis in reality about the vaccine, it really does t matter to me if one chooses to get it or not
