The new Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna seem to be remarkably good at preventing serious illness. But it’s unclear how well they will curb the spread of the coronavirus.
That’s because the Pfizer and Moderna trials tracked only how many vaccinated people became sick with Covid-19. That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people get infected without developing symptoms, and could then silently transmit the virus — especially if they come in close contact with others or stop wearing masks.
If vaccinated people are silent spreaders of the virus, they may keep it circulating in their communities, putting unvaccinated people at risk.
“A lot of people are thinking that once they get vaccinated, they’re not going to have to wear masks anymore,” said Michal Tal, an immunologist at Stanford University. “It’s really going to be critical for them to know if they have to keep wearing masks, because they could still be contagious.”
In most respiratory infections, including the new coronavirus, the nose is the main port of entry. The virus rapidly multiplies there, jolting the immune system to produce a type of antibodies that are specific to mucosa, the moist tissue lining the nose, mouth, lungs and stomach. If the same person is exposed to the virus a second time, those antibodies, as well as immune cells that remember the virus, rapidly shut down the virus in the nose before it gets a chance to take hold elsewhere in the body.

because masks don’t work without the vaccine so maybe they will work after the vaccine? 🙄
They just keep moving the goal posts! Believe there will a backlash! American people are getting fed up!
They can't have us not wearing masks. They lose the visuals in their control scenario.
You sound like Fauxci.
Says the commie New York Times
So what is the point of the vaccine?
“Some of those antibodies will circulate in the blood to the nasal mucosa and stand guard there, but it’s not clear how much of the antibody pool can be mobilized, or how quickly. If the answer is not much, then viruses could bloom in the nose — and be sneezed or breathed out to infect others. “
More mere guessing without evidence.
If the vaccine does keep an infected person asymptomatic it is the vast majority of time keeping that persons viral load lower than it what it takes for transmission to someone else, otherwise the vaccine would not be doing well enough and the person would be observably ill from the virus.
The stuff I hear about this bug sounds a lot like the muzzies and their religious bulls-—t...
“Keep the dogs away! Mo ham head hated them!”
The whole thing has sounded like 8 servings a bulls—t in March and it sure sounds like the conveniences for our betters behind this planned demic sure are serendipitous...
I had a good stock of true N95 masks for my auto body work.
I sterilize them at 160F in the oven, supposedly this works.
So far so good, LOL
We are so tired of this crap! You might as well say, “why indefinite lockdowns of ALL small and medium sized businesses must be perpetuated...”
Here is why I no longer give a damn.
I need a vaccine for a disease I have a 99%+ of surviving?
A vaccine that has been rushed into production had some really nasty side effects on some of the test subjects?
I think I will wait for a while and let other fools beta test it for me.
Just for everyone’s edification.
1. As a % of the total population, the Wuhan Virus will be shown to be, as no more deadly than the seasonal flu.
2. I have never had any flu vaccine and never had the flu.
3. There are millions like me.
4. A sister of mine and her daughter have the flu vaccine every year and every year they have the flu at some time - which they excuse as “at least it would have been worse if we hadn’t had the vaccine”. The excuse has no science to it.
I think you probably meant to respond to Poster #2; I just said “Amen”.
No big — I’ve done that before. Glad it happens to someone else once in a while! :-)
Maybe they would just like us to wear a yellow star....
All good, post-modern, robot comrades are required to wear masks forever.
Big Brother has spoken !
How about we just shoot the politicians and stop wearing these useless masks?
Hope Apoorva wore a mask while writing this because I smell shite...
Yup...or Curka
