The coronavirus vaccines, in contrast, are injected deep into the muscles and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. This appears to be enough protection to keep the vaccinated person from getting ill.
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.
“It’s a race: It depends whether the virus can replicate faster, or the immune system can control it faster,” said Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. “It’s a really important question.”
This is why mucosal vaccines, like the nasal spray FluMist or the oral polio vaccine, are better than intramuscular injections at fending off respiratory viruses, experts said.
The next generation of coronavirus vaccines may elicit immunity in the nose and the rest of the respiratory tract, where it’s most needed. Or people could get an intramuscular injection followed by a mucosal boost that produces protective antibodies in the nose and throat.
The coronavirus vaccines have proved to be powerful shields against severe illness, but that is no guarantee of their efficacy in the nose. The lungs — the site of severe symptoms — are much more accessible to the circulating antibodies than the nose or throat, making them easier to safeguard.
... Dr. Bhattacharya said he was encouraged by recent work showing that people who received an intramuscular flu vaccine had abundant antibodies in the nose. And a study of Covid-19 patients found that antibody levels in saliva and blood were closely matched — suggesting that a strong immune response in the blood would also protect mucosal tissues.
Here’s why you can shove all of that stuff up your home six....
So how was being vaccinated any different than being an unsymptomatic carrier?
Epidemiology FAIL! Immune means you CANNOT become infected, AT ALL! Your immune system will produce antibodies IMMEDIATELY when a targeted invader appears, at a rate hundreds of times faster than the invader can replicate itself. It will NOT be able to gain even the tiniest of toeholds in a system that has been IMMUNIZED.
Let’s say I have had COVID-19, and let’s say that I have subsequently been vaccinated against COVID-19, will I still need to wear a mask?
Don’t answer that. You know and I know health officials could not possibly dream of any situation where masks are not required.
[mask] == [niqab]
FUNYT
So, for ever and ever we must wear a mask?
Don’t think so.
No.
You vill vare zee muzzle! No exception!
IF the slave masks of the DNC collected viruses
and the DNC/Xi/FauXi/Soros WANTED to not murder people
... why were they never collected and destroyed??
“That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people get infected without developing symptoms, and could then silently transmit the virus —”
The media is being told to repeat the asymptomatic bogey man.
There is no empirical science or study show the majority of asymptomatic people being “silent spreaders”.
Why? Viral load.
If the asymptomatic person had a transmissible level of a viral load they would not be asymptomatic - they would not be internally succeeding against the virus, as they demonstrably are, they would be symptomatic not asymptomatic. Like nearly all Covid-19 children, asymptomatic people do not typically have high viral loads and do not expel virulent doses of the virus. Like most all children they are neither ill nor spreaders of the bug.
The asymptomatic “spreader” is part guessing and part social behavior controlling bogey man.
So Masks indefinitely - What a joke!!
Insane. If vaccinated people are spreading the virus, it clearly means the vaccine doesn’t work!
At least it doesn’t work at stopping the disease, but who knows what all else they are programming into it.
What a complete load of crap.
They already see that there will be an issue with the vaccinated and non vaccinated comingling in an amorphous mass that they can’t visually see or check.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you have the chicken pox vaccine, you don’t become a spreader of chicken pox.
Sounds more like these snowflakes don’t want people daring to live life again.
I’ve seen no evidence asymptomatic people transmit the disease. Even the WHO estimated it at less than 1% of all transmissions. So....what part of FU does Biden understand?
GFY, NY Slimes.
The masks carry pathogens from days of use without changing
FOAD
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!
