Re: It’s toxic and it got nasty during the pandemic
How are the COVID19 vaccines not technically vaccines? They stimulate your immune system to produce antibodies to fight a pathogen. That is the literal definition of a vaccine.
No vaccine manufacturer ever claimed that they would stop transmission. The objective was to limit serious illness and death, which they have dramatically achieved. The fact that they can reduce transmission is a bonus. Early studies showed they did this. Vaccinated NHS staff were less likely to infect people in the same household than unvaccinated staff. They are probably less effective at this now with the much more transmissible variants we have now. Hopefully new Omicron specific vaccines can improve things.
I have personally had 4 shots. 2 x Astra for initial course, followed by Pfizer and Moderna boosters. I will have further boosters as required, especially once new variant specific vaccines are available. I also contracted COVID between my 3rd and 4th doses and just had a sniffle and body aches for a day.
