What about having a vaccine when you already have immunity? Another thing with this lockdown:- my friend and his wife have showed positive for Covid, his last day of isolation is today. But what he wants to know is how have he and his wife got Covid when they have both been in isolation for 6 weeks? How have they got infected when they have never interacted with anybody?

Many around are asking "you getting the vaccine??", to which I reply "nah, I don't think it's ready and vetted well enough yet". Now don't get me wrong, I fully support vaccinations. But it takes years to work out the kinks, and this one isn't ready. The only attractive thing about it at the moment would be No More Facemasks, and hopefully life back to some level of normal, at least for me, right? But that got me thinking, with all the left's hammering into our heads, "get your vaccines, otherwise you're an idiot". But I can't help but notice, all these libtards who continue to wear their masks after receiving the vaccine, which prompted me to search for and find THIS article...

So, reading through those five points, my question to you ATS is... what's the purpose of getting THIS vaccine. Do the possible benefits outweigh the probable risks?

The worry is the more people who are fearing the vaccines for no reason gives the virus more opportunities to mutate into a form that the vaccine no longer works against.
Or i suppose, if govt vaccination programs are too slow and people don’t’ get the second bump, an escape variant could be devastating

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with this reply but I think it is necessary and important. Here is what I do know:
1. The vaccine DOES help in preventing the spread of the virus. This has been studied and verified.
2. It is still possible to spread if you are vaccinated however as I mentioned in point 1, it is less likely.
3. I can not confidentially say that with other variants. It sounds like that is the case but I just don't know for sure.
I will continue to state that if you fall in any of what is considered high risk, you should really consider the vaccine. I have not caught the virus I have seen (appearance wise) healthy people get hit hard and not so healthy looking people not really be affected. You just don't know until you get it.
Working in the Healthcare environment I had to get it, though it's very likely I would have anyways. I am 42 yo and relatively healthy but I ain't no spring chicken anymore. The risk from the vaccine was minute compared to what I've seen with the virus and this is why I will continue to encourage people to get the vaccine.

In other words, the Moderna/Pfizer/J&J drugs are not real vaccines. They're more like the "flu shot" than the measles or chicken-pox shots.

So basically, Going through your points 1-3. You know nothing.

Not to mention now they're saying cloth masks are nothing more than facial decorations and we should at least be wearing disposable surgical masks or even better N95 masks. NOT cloth masks as we've been told through the alleged deadliest parts of the pandemic were fine to wear.
