“So... is it the remnants of the virus or the amplified levels of PCR? Or both, but not the former without the latter?”

It’s the virus. Not remnants. Viral RNA gets amplified.

Watching news these days is little more than “opinion” columns. Nobody writing or reporting is interested in facts or truth.

The Pfizer vaccine does not contain neutralized virus, or any part of a virus.

Unfortunately that’s misinformed...

The 95% efficacy that’s being thrown around has literally nothing to do with immunity to the virus. What’s being touted is that after the second shot the vaccine is 95% effective in causing the creation of proteins that should trigger an immune response.

How effective that will be in protecting the vaccinated against the virus has not been determined.

Both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are estimated to be about 95% effective after two doses.

That means that 5 out of a 100 will still be able to get infected. That’s 75,000 people still able to be infected out of the 1.5 million or so that have been vaccinated so far.

Unfortunate for her, but a reminder that the vaccine won’t make us all invincible.

No one said it did.

The rats have the perfect opportunity to off a few Pubes, with these injections! In those positions, I’d demand a God-fearing conservative doctor give the injection(s)!

“...what happens if they don’t have the second dose in stock when you are supposed to get it?”

Backordered, and then shipped via the US Post Office! In other words, you’re phokked!!

LOL!! Which is why I'm not getting it. I'm going to die sometime anyway. And with me being the last member of my family left, the oldest who died at 74, and me being 73, what do I need the virus vaccine for? Let some liberal have it.

“ Neutralized virus will test positive. Vaccines confer immunity in that the virus won’t cause disease but if exposed it still gets in to the body. These tests identify presence of RNA. A completely neutralized virus, coated with antibodies, still has its RNA which can be amplified by PCR.”

Okay...
