More hypothesis that had been repeatedly shot down up to this point. Natural immunity exposes your body to the entire virus, so in the event of mutation there are still parts that it can recognize for a quicker reaction. But if the one particle you’re exposed to with the vaccine is what mutates, then your body sees it as essentially a brand new virus and it starts from scratch.
I’m not sure I understand how more of the same thing will produce a different response. Seems a lot like insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Is the idea that 3 shots convinces your body that there is more of an ongoing threat, which prompts it to not only produce the antibodies needed to defeat the spike protein, but also shotgun a bigger spectrum of slightly different solutions to proactively flank the virus going forward? And while the primary response doesnt help with the new variant, something on that spectrum is close enough? That’s the only theory that makes logical sense to me.
Long covid reduced in vaccinated people by a large amount. Also reduced by a lesser amount if, within 1-2 months of getting covid with no prior vaccination, you then get a vaccine.
This analysis revealed that patients who received at least one dose of any of the three COVID vaccines prior to their diagnosis with COVID-19 were 7-10 times less likely to report two or more long-COVID symptoms compared to unvaccinated patients. Furthermore, unvaccinated patients who received their first COVID-19 vaccination within four weeks of SARS-CoV-2 infection were 4-6 times less likely to report multiple long-COVID symptoms, and those who received their first dose 4-8 weeks after diagnosis were 3 times less likely to report multiple long-COVID symptoms compared to those who remained unvaccinated.
Idk, they asked for my DL and insurance card for my last shot. I guess no ones checking too closely.
I heard some ppl lied about their kids age and got the 12+ PFE shots when they were younger than that, and then didn’t want to get them two more shots on the record. Apparently there’s a way for your doc to enter your claimed vaccine info from elsewhere into their system and have it taken as legit. Not sure if that’s a special thing for kids vs adults or what. Presumably if you really wanted to be unvaxxed and get around some mandated, maybe you could have claimed to have gotten it in some other state and had your local doc enter the appropriate info accordingly.
Big Israeli study on relative risks based on time since recovery from covid or vaccine/booster. Shows how boosters help, and how those who already survived covid are a lot better protected.
Doesn’t make a great case for mandates, given the recovered groups are lower risk than all the vaccinated ones, even after longer periods of time, and similar to someone with a vaccine and booster very recently given (which would presumably decline based on the time passed since the booster). Israel is on to their 4th shots / 2nd boosters.
I got my JNJ about five months ago so I think I’m out of the woods
People should receive Pfizer or Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines instead of Johnson & Johnson’s, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Thursday night.
The new recommendation followed a vote by a committee of scientists and doctors that gave guidance to the CDC to say the agency should “prefer” the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) over Johnson & Johnson’s. The vote was based on rising concerns about a rare but dangerous blood-clotting disorder that can occur within three weeksof receiving Johnson & Johnson.
I will get an mRNA vaccine when hell freezes over. I’ll go without first.
Another way:
In direct and specific response to the thread title here:
NEVER . . . if that means getting an mRNA vaccine. S’not gonna happen. Period.
The mRNA vaccines remain too new to be fully proven. It is also a caution that government bigwigs, many of whom likely own stock in Pfizer and especially in Moderna, are doing their best to trumpet rare side effects with J&J while ignoring those of their chosen vaccines.
Campbell discussion on avoiding accidental injection into a blood vessel, thought to lead to more side effects for all the major vaccines (different problems based on vaccine type). Denmark has been doing aspiration prior to injection since early on based on this logic, and they have 1/3 the cases of myocarditis than Norway which hasn’t.
