My assistant got the first Pfizer on Wednesday and claims she is still feeling awful and staying in bed here on day 2 post jab.
But then again, she complains a lot. Thankfully she’s run out of sick days :-)
The smallpox vaccine is 95% effective.
Smallpox was wiped off the face of the Earth with an imperfect vaccine.
Well our "friends" from Central America are about to bring it back.
Truly a disgrace what they did, by investing all their money and hopes into a vaccine and hardly a penny to research what hundreds of small independent researchers had discovered using off the shelf generic medications, vitamins, minerals and antibiotics. Those people understood how viruses operate and what mechanisms the human body would need to slow viral replication and give the immune system the time it needed to mount an effective response before the virus swamps the system (and, if I got it correctly, before the immune system overdoes it attempting to fight the virus which in turn causes its own problems e.g. the Cytokine Storm).
For a disease that is basically 99.7% survivable they sure have turned it into fear porn.
I am not going to go on the limb to say that HCQ+ was the magic bullet but plenty of evidence that it would have helped and zero credible evidence it would have hurt other than some poorly done studies of ICU patients who were already knocking on death’s door unfortunately before they tried the drug. And now, ivermectin+ seems to be even better. But no large randomized controlled studies to “prove” it just a lot of small studies. And here’s something else, studies published in North America were 3.4 times more likely to report negative effects from HCQ+ treatment than studies conducted in other places around the world. That can’t be by accident.
The initial success rate percentages such as 95% etc, will almost certainly change. For example, the B1.351 (South Africa)variant is able to completely evade the vaccine. Therefore, if (probably when) this variant begins to spread in the population the percentages will change with it. We will need a new vaccine using the spike protein for that variant in order to be immune.
Who? There’s only a handful of samples known to still exist in the world and they’re all under strict lockdown in L4 labs.
Posts #4, #6, and #9, good points.
That's not true. It's resistant to the neutralizing antibodies, which means it takes more to subdue it. In Moderna's case, they said it's about a sixfold reduction in neutralizing antibody effectiveness, but they also said their vaccine produces so many antibodies that it's still effective even under those conditions.

A booster to ensure full effectiveness has already been produced, tested, packaged, and shipped. They're using it in South Africa right now. One of the benefits of the mRNA platform is you don't need to culture ("grow") anything. You simply print out your mRNA strands, enclose them in lipid shells, and you're done. Instead of taking months or years to make minor changes, it can be done in days and tested in weeks.

Same time and skip anything Fauci.
Cancel Fauci.
Also worth noting that the resistance to neutralizing antibodies is not specific to the vaccines. If you got the April 2020 variant of COVID-19, and if you had a mild or asymptomatic case, you’re almost certainly able to get either the South Africa or the Brazil variants and they can result in a severe case.
This is why it’s important to get vaccinated even if you had a mild case of COVID-19 previously. Having that mild case provides little help against some of the known variants. The vaccines provide significant protection.
It’s only a tiny increase in cases in northern states over the past week and doesn’t really tell us anything, yet. With the nicer weather, more people have been going to public indoor places. Too much hype from the news/propaganda media about it. The virus is on its way out, IMO. There won’t be much concern about it.
Agree with your statement. I just happen to see vaccines as beneficial if part of the WHOLE approach to Covid - and given on a case by case basis rather than forced upon the entire population en masse without condition.
nothing surprises him
until after a few months of proclaiming something to be x, and with perfect certainty mandating y,z and q, they find out its y and y,z and q are worthless
> 99.99% of peoples regular immune system are effective against covid already
“> 99.99% of peoples regular immune system are effective against covid already”
Exactly. One has to wonder why the push for this “vaccine”? I am reading of places that are going to demand everyone get it.
WHY THE PUSH?
Right. If you don’t want to catch covid, get a healthy lifestyle today, low carbs, no sugars, exercise and plenty of sleep, take D3 and K supplements in therapeutic amounts (5000iu of d for a typical adult is a good start). If you catch it, take c, zinc, and quercetin, up your D3, and immediately start nebulizing food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted greatly with sterile water. Take Advil for the body pains and headaches. You won’t die of covid unless you are in poor health or have bad metabolic health.
I know of a woman who got COVID a FEW DAYS after she was vaccinated with the first shot. Her doctor felt she would have died if she had not gotten the shot when she did - it gave her some immunity - not a lot but enough to keep her going. She was 84.

These vaccinations don’t prevent covid the minute they hit your bloodstream...it takes days - even weeks to get strong protection.
This virus is so talented I’m jealous of those who already had it.
I want to catch it, then train it to make my bed and a cup coffee every morning...
