Of course, they do. People who make these are not idiots, who does not back up their inventions with testing and analysing that data.
The vaccines work on the main COVID-19 virus which they were tested for, however, for some of the mutations it has been shown that some vaccines are not that efficient, in South Africa for example.
so what are they gonna do about that then?
@NatalieKeller95 can change it so it works with the mutations, like what is done for the flu vaccine each season.. which at least luckily takes less time than developing from the scratch.
It's proven to be working at a 95% success rate, which is incredible.
the general public won't probably be receiving the pfizer vaccine, they're probably get the broken astra zeneca one
@NatalieKeller95 uh no, i got the Pfizer. Moderna is just as high and more available. AstraZenica still isn't even approved in the US.
@NatalieKeller95 It likely won't be out, it's more of people won't get a choice of what vaccine they'll get. Just like now where it's only Pfizer or Moderna. I would expect Johnson & Johnson and Astrazenica to be added by the summer. The next case scenario is they develop a single booster shot for all of them over time for newer strain effectiveness.
They will be as soon as more people are vaccinated. After a certain percentage of the population is vaccinated, there will be "dead ends" where the virus won't have as many people to infect, and the incidence of the disease will diminish.
@msc545 Right... I think in part, the lowering of incidence is from the backlash of the Holiday Season slowing down. (People who were infected over the Holidays are getting better.) But also, I think the people vaccinated so far, as well as some people being immune from actually having the disease, is starting to get us towards herd immunity. But only starting at this point... LOL
There's no real evidence to suggest that the vaccines have been especially effective beyond the original strain. There have actually been more reports that say the opposite.
that the vaccines don't work?
@NatalieKeller95 Correct. At least that's what I'm hearing... the reporting has been all over the map.
well I'm already prepared for this to be a decade long nightmare, sigh it's gonna be a long decade
@NatalieKeller95 Really? A whole decade? I don't disagree, but that seems like an awfully long time. Why do you think we'll be dealing with this for a decade? I know that we will be working through the social/political issues this has created for 15-20 years, easily.
because of the new variants, I hope it isn't decade long also, I really hope it ends sometime in 2022, or earlier
Just look it up on www.duckduckgo.com or some shit.

It works. This is not remotely in question, and a question like this really serves only to show you approximately what percentage of your answerers are delusional, insane, paranoic nutters.
Israel has some of the best data gathering on CoVid-19, and they have measured the Pfizer vaccines efficacy at reducing symptomatic cases by 94%.
It's not difficult to understand this. On one side, you have scientists. They warned of the pandemic, the pandemic came, they invented a new way to create a vaccine in record breaking time, tested it and are now deploying it.
On the other side you have the crazy people. They said there was no disease. Then they said it would go away. Then they said it was only as bad as the flu. Then it was a hoax. Then it was a weapon from China. Then it was a hoax again. Then the evangelicals started selling miracle cures (for the hoax virus that was only as bad as flu). When Republican politicians died from it, they kept their twitter account going so it could continue to spread bullshit. The pastors who ignored advice and carried out super-spreader events for their followers (gotta keep the tithes rolling in, god is short of cash) got infected and died. For these crazies, up is down, left is right, hoax virus kills 3000 people per day, and now they want to blame Biden because in their delusional world 400,000 Americans died between January 20th 2021 and today. Apparently it was never a problem before that date.
Who are you going to believe? The scientists? Or the crazies?
Right now 36% of your respondents are crazy. In the general population it's about 25%.
Of course not. It takes decades to develop an actual vaccine. Plus here we got Pfizer working on it, one of the most criminal companies in the world, with a long history of killing people with untested products, bribing doctors, experts etc. and which actually holds a world record for the biggest penalty paid for the various fucked up shit they did. And on top of all of that, they claim to use mRNA technology, which was nothing more than a theoretical concept with a few promising animal trials. There literally isn't one sentence about this vaccine that has any chance of being legit. It's just an infinite loop of "trust me bro".
On the other side, people retarded enough to want it should absolutely take it, and remove themselves from the gene pool.
It's not a vaccine. A vaccine, by definition, contains a live virus. This is an experimental technology, as stated by the manufacturer, to be like "an operating system" for our body, to alter DNA for a particular reason. This technology has failed to receive FDA approval over 13 years but received "emergency" approval which is much less scrutinous. Moderna has never actually received approval for any of its "products." It has never sold a product. Let that sink in.
It's experimental.
Its job, as stated by the manufacturer, is not to prevent infection or transmission, simply to lessen symptoms.
For a virus that isn't much worse than the common cold.
Wonderful business model.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that think a Government would spend billions on a vaccine to help you... when the longer the elderly live... the more it costs the government... and the more populated the world gets, the less control they will have. They must be laughing their asses of at some of us...
@yofuknutz With that in mind, would you say that the Government care about the elderly and want them to live as long as possible?
Hospitalization rates are falling.
Death rates are falling.
Infection rates are falling.
What do you think?
The issue is we have new variants on the horizon. The UK is going through its third lockdown. And this is under the PM who initially denied the virus was serious.
Well, on Inside Edition there has been 84 people who died since
receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine so hard to say if it was due to
the Vaccine but this is something to consider and I would like to
get it and I always get the yearly flu shot with no problems but
I'm just wondering how safe is the COVID-19 Vaccine?
Yes but I’m concerned about the fatality rate due to the vaccine that’s emerging.
I sure hope it's working I want to get away from these restrictions as soon as possible.
What’s going to happen if in 5 years the vaccine is linked to have caused health problems
My left arm was slightly sore for two days after the first shot, and I still don't have covid so yes. If anything the minimum effectiveness will at-least prevent more people from ending up in the hospital.
If enough people get it done, then it’ll build herd immunity. I got my fingers crossed that enough people will get vaccinated if they can.
Lol no idea. Part of me thinks it's just a placebo.
It's either vaccines or let people contract corona, in order to reach immunity and stop the restrictive measures. So I say yes to vaccines in order to return sooner to our lives. I trust the doctors and the experts
What does ‘work’ mean? They reduce symptoms yeah but unlike other vaccines they don’t prevent you from spreading. It is 100% impossible to achieve herd immunity through these covid shots and anyone who thinks otherwise is a gullible idiot
Yes but I would not expect to see overnight and/or dramatic changes to transmission levels for a couple of months. By April/May things should be noticeably improved.
Right before the release of the vaccine they said that they were going to reduce the number of PCR tests. Surprise surprise, if you do less PCR tests you get less positive results.
”Hooray the vaccine works”
Morons, all of you.
they are killing off babies and old people first. that's how population control works
Our cases have dropped over 75% since vaccines were rolled out
yeah they most likely are. let's just hope, they're not gonna have any unwanted effects.
They put something in the vaccines that make people less likely to pay attention to how bad the president is doing
