Yep, that’s the question. Once 70-80+% of the population is fully vaccinated it won’t matter because of herd immunity, but that will take time to distribute/shoot. But to find out whether the vaccine keeps one from being an infectious carrier is going to take time and observation.
Typically we would have a pretty good idea of the answer to that question, but also typically vaccine development takes more than 4 years for novel diseases.
Edited to add-- given clear criteria for effectiveness and enough statistical power in the trial it’s pretty easy to determine whether a vaccine is effective at stopping severe disease. It’s not always easy to determine carrier status depending on a bunch of factors.
I thought we were supposed to honor Trump by naming the vaccine after him?
If you believe that covid is fake, then are you calling Trump a liar because he admits it exists?
If you believe the vaccine is bad, then are you saying that Trump failed yet again since Trump has been bragging about how HE is responsible for getting the vaccine created so quickly?
FTR, O’ Reilly is to the right of Carlson (whatever that means these days), and O’ Reilly has stated multiple times before the rollout that he would definitely be taking the vaccine when possible.
Yeah, I figure as much. I mean I hate the things too, I’ve eaten more of my beard than I ever had in all the years beforehand combined lol. One step closer though.
As long as we can get the doses out efficiently and distributed fairly and be back in economic action it seems fair to me.
