Without the antibodies induced by the vaccine, they would have been far more sick and more likely to suffer serious consequences and perhaps even death.

A vaccine is not a shield. It doesn’t stop viruses from entering your body. It doesn’t even stay around for more than a few days after injection.

What a vaccine does is train the immune system on how to make antibodies (and T and B cells) to specifically counteract the pathogen the vaccine targets. How many antibody molecules the immune system produces after vaccination absolutely depends on how well the immune system works. The immune system decreases in function starting around age 65; by age 80, immune system function has decreased significantly. And how well a person is protected from catching disease depends on how many antibodies there are in their blood and on the mucous membranes lining the respiratory tract. Think of antibodies as a kind of sponge. Just like a sponge can only soak up a certain amount of water, antibodies can only soak up a certain amount of virus. If the vaccinated person is exposed to too many virus particles, their antibodies cannot soak them all up and they will get sick.

There is plenty of scientific proof of how the immune system functions. And plenty of proof that the vaccine decreases chance of getting sick, severity of illness, and chance of death.

The table at the bottom of the page shows the effectiveness of vaccination in different populations and for different outcomes. These determinations are made scientifically by comparing the outcomes between a vaccinated and a similar unvaccinated population. In other words, they are not based on assumptions, but on hard data.

I have a customer who is vaxed and boosted. He now regrets getting either. He has had covid 4X. The most recent time was just 2 weeks ago.

So should all the people who haven’t been vaccinated nor had covid go out and get boosted?

Yup—that plus whatever else it does—top secret ya know—will release details in fifty years...

Lol.

Trump is still stumping on the billions of lives he saved globally. His presidential commendation went to fauci. The vax saves!

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen this hostage like statement from a famous person.

It always sounded like a canned coded message not intended for our eyes and ears

โ€œThe death rate of Covid in unvaccinated persons above age 80 is 24%. โ€

Is that based on the same data that listed a person who tested positive after they wrapped their car around a tree as having died from wuhan instead of injuries incompatible with life?

Interestingly, there's some dispute about just how much of an impact the polio vaccine had on eradicating the disease.

That's because the polio vaccine was introduced almost simultaneously with two other developments that may have had a far bigger impact on eliminating the spread of the disease: (1) the adoption of uniform standards for clean drinking water in public water systems, and (2) the widespread practice of chlorinating swimming pools.

I have found that the most effective way to avoid contracting COVID is to avoid being in the company of Democrats for any length of time.

I was sure the Bernster would be the first to go during Brandon’s ‘winter of death’.

No one has publicly accused Sander of being intelligent.

You donโ€™t get it. First, they got attention for getting the useless vaccination. They got an attention for getting a cold.

There's actually a rather fascinating series of articles by Randy Engel with regards to the development of the polio vaccine(s), which naturally included lots of scandals in the interim that people tend to forget about today:
