Trump “made it happen” in record time. So now it is time to denigrate the vaccines.
I am a mega Trump fan. Vaccines in record time is a good thing, and only Trump could have made it happen. No argument from me on that!
I just want people to make sure they understand why they would take the vaccine. If you are in the high risk category and think you could have a severe outcome, end up in the hospital, or at risk for dying from Covid, then getting either the Pfizer or Moderna nRNA vaccine is a very good idea! It reduces your chance of a severe outcome by 95%. That is nothing to sneeze at, and it will go a long way toward alleviating hospitalizations and deaths. That is a wonderful thing!
However, if you are not at high risk, then it is worth understanding that the vaccine makers are not making the claim that you are any less likely to get the virus. The vaccines represent a potentially safer route to herd immunity. By the way, this is also why Fauci says continue to wear mask and social distance. Vaccine recipients could be just as contagious.
