Recently this post got two important bits of information regarding the pandemic:
1. A video that doubts many aspects of the vaccination; whether you will still get it, whether you can still infect others, not get the virus entirely. And the answer seems to be no for all, and the speaker and video asks the need for the vaccines.
2. An email info from Bloomberg.
Bloomberg: "Can a vaccinated person still spread still spread the coronavirus
Many concerns answers are still not clear because these were not studied, as manufacturers were rushing to develop the vaccine, and not enough data have been collected to answer the concerns.
e.g.
1. Do vaccines stop infection and transmission?
A. Some do and some dont.
2. Does the vaccine have to stop infection to prevent transmission?
Not necessarily. Measures as to hygiene during coughing can prevent transmission.
3. What have they found?
Those who got vaccinated 64% did not get positive swabs
4. Good news:
1. A study released by CDC in March indicated 90% in a study conducted among 4,000 frontline
workers.
2. In Israel, where there are more people vaccinated vs total population reported, that P vaccine
was 92% effective in preventing infection
Conclusion: vaccines, aside from observing the health measures: avoid crowd, social distancing
wear face mask, is a good bet vs getting infected and forward transmission
We still need more data though.
