Did it really decrease the death count?

I feel terrible because of this vaccine. My chest / heart pain is more now and I always feel sick for the last 2 months
Do you think covid vaccines worked?
Superb Opinion
I caught first round of covid and naturally have the antibodies so I've not had first hand experience with it. Both my parents caught the Delta Variant and were fuuucked up for awhile.
I took both to the hospital separately and got them Monoclonal and it cured both of them in just a couple days when they were hurting for at least 2 weeks beforehand. Both now have the antibodies
My sister lives in LA and she had to get the vaccine for work because she works in the TV industry. Time will tell on the effectiveness. But for her she said the symptoms sucked.
I'm the only one of the 4 of us who did not receive any treatment. I caught it naturally. I realized I was sick after about two or three days. I quarantined myself in the meantime and I was completely over it after 10 days
Anecdotal for sure, but meaningful experiences as it crosses 4 people at different ages, genders, locations and situations that you can see the results.
All I can say for sure. The Monoclonal appears to be the real heavy hitter that people with covid should get. I say this with no exaggeration. My parents were really struggling for over a week to two weeks and upon getting that treatment they were covered in days.
The only thing that was weird about their situation is that when I brought them to the hospital the medical staff was trying to talk both my parents out of getting Monoclonal with the reasoning of " it's not 100% proven to work".
That's like saying don't eat your vegetables because they're not 100% proven to keep you from getting sick. If it helps whether or not it's a cure-all is irrelevant LOL

Yes, vaccines prevented hospitalizations and deaths. Montana, Alabama, Mississippi, all have overwhelmed hospitals because they're clogged with covid patients. All states that had low turnout for vaccinations. God bless their souls anyone who needs the hospital in these states but can't get in because it's filled with people who had plenty of warning. If my kid was in a car crash and was denied an ICU bed, I would be pulling that ventilator our of that science denier's throat and dragging them out of that bed to make room... just saying.
My boyfriend, baby, and I have all been positive for covid and recovered testing negative. My grandma, mom, aunts, cousins, dad, and my partner's friends have all had it. my mom the only one who got the vaccine was hospitalized soon after while everyone else was fine. My partner's one friend died after getting the vaccine despite not being sick before.

Well it didn't decrease the death count because you can't just bring people back from the dead. But it's significantly reduced cases and therefore deaths.

They do not stop transmission of the virus. They somewhat shorten the window during which you are shedding it and they increase the viral load you can get and still avoid symptoms. Or only have innocent upper respiratory system symptoms.
If someone with covid breathes into your face for an hour, you will get floored regardless of vaccines. So the sense of security is misplaced. Social distancing is still the primary way to reduce deaths. And that is a damn shame. For this reason, I conclude that they are beneficial, but they do not "work" in the sense of stopping the pandemic and preventing lockdowns. -
No it did not. For it to work, firstly you don't administer vaccinations during a pandemic, doing so will result in evolutionary pressure causing the virus to mutate faster than normal for a coronavirus, which is what we are seeing. Also to get an accurate apples to applies comparison, the vaccine should have been administered before the initial outbreak and one would need to have a control group. Unfortunately we have not done that. The other issue that surrounds this are people claiming that it prevents deaths, again not really. One needs to do an apples to apples comparison. Looking at the number of people dying in relation to the delta variant and subsequent variants are the vaccinated. Moreover, it's a pandemic of the vaccinated not the unvaccinated.
Now by your question of "do the covid vaccines work," well if one's intent was to kill, maim, cause spontaneous still births, and destroy people's immune system, then yes they did work. - 1.2K opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
all i'll say is: in germany they tested like crazy for covid. over a million tests a week. in previous flu waves, they tested maybe a few 1000 times during an entire flu season. that's what they did globally to statistically lie about the severity.
now that the vaccines are out, they force tests on unvaccinated to enter public spaces. and the vaccinated don't have to be tested anymore. so no matter if the vaccines work or not. we won't know, cause we simply are shutting our eyes and aren't looking. so as trum said: since we stopped testing the vaccinated for covid, the issues eems to be gone. indicating that the issue way solely created by testing. -
At triggering an immune response, they absolutely have failed. And that's, honestly the most generous you could be about them.
As a preventative to keep you from dying of covid... it seems somewhat mixed on the data. We see the propaganda from our hospitals showing the percent unvaccinated currently in the hospital vs. vaccinated. But other accounts of this data include unvaccinated people from before the vaccine was available. In other words, if 10 people died before the shots were available and after the shots were available 5 people died with the shots, and 5 people didn't get shots... they report it as 15 people died unvaccinated and only 5 died vaccinated. -
I think people are fucking stupid. I think the vaccines aren't going to shorten a persons life span. I think those people are either idiots, or they're bots from a different country trying to spread misinformation so people dont take it. What i dont like are the pro vaxxers being equally as stupid taking something that they dont really know, but they took it cause scientist said so.
I'm pretty split in the middle about vaccines and if they work or not. I think they haven't fixed the issue yet, and i'm not sure if they will fix the issue. I guess i'll have to wait and see. -
Forced Vaccination is a hardline fascist policy. We are so afraid of death and can't come to terms with it as a culture. So instead of accepting that disease is a part of nature and that certain 'unhealthy/high risk' populations will die, the media has convinced you that in order to be a 'good person' you need to take a mass produced, manufactured, retail solution. Meanwhile our social lives have all but completely disappeared, most healthy young people are dealing with serious mental health problems and are feeling tremendously alone. People can't even say they have close friends anymore. Every vaccine has a commercial value, ie someone is making money, and big pharma has cashed in on trillions this year with all this bullshit. If the government actually cared about your health, they would put programs in place to reverse our super unhealthy lifestyles but as always C. R. E. A. M. Follow the money and you'll see the truth.

A lot of the people that have been dying in the ICUs are covid related and they didn't get the vaccine either, so go figure.

Clearly not: the focus on relative rather than absolute risk reduction shows that much. And the results bear it out: your chances of getting myocarditis from it are pretty low, but they're still a lot higher than your chances of dying from Covid. If they're administration was limited to the old, sickly, and vulnerable, it might've made sense, but as it is, they're going to kill more people than they save.

I am not gonna lie dude, it happens sometimes, because of stress. Just put aside your mobile phone for a week, go to doctor, get a thorough examination of your body. Breathe through your nose and not mouth and do yoga jogging or whatever you can.
And if you are trolling you are already fine. -
Yes but what people don't seem to realize is a vaccine isn't a cure it reduces the symptoms if you get it so you can still get covid while vaccinated but the effects of it is reduced the reason that Covid is different to a cold or flu is that the body knows how to deal with it where Covid the body dosen't know how to handle it a vaccine simulates having covid so the body has data so if you then contract Covid it has the information to deal with it
-
I think it's sad how people think a vaccine will stop you from getting it. All it does or is supposed to do is give your body a jump start on fighting it. Now ideally it will recognize the virus before it really takes hold and you may just feel under the weather for a day or two.

No, I do not. If they worked, we wouldn't still be talking about them and having lockdowns around the world still and still having the US push mask mandates and telling people they now need a THIRD shot.
-
This isn't a question that should be decided by what rando's "think". The numbers are the numbers. They are facts. The vaccines worked. These are facts.
There are a ton of idiots who refuse to do anything helpful, like social distance, wear a mask or get vaccinated. That's also a fact. - 637 opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
Yes, they work. You're experiencing an immune response - I get it from time to time as well. Like an allergy, or cold.
Make sure you're getting plenty of zinc with quercetin, B1, C, and D. Add in NAC for an extra boost. Your symptoms will go away. And you won't be getting covid, any variety. - 530 opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
A guy I know died a month ago of covid. He was 38. Had put off getting vaxxed but had set up appointment for one when he got sick. Procrastination kills.
On the other hand, no one I know who was vaxxed died of covid. Or had problems with the vaccine for more than a day or so.
So I would say the pandemic largely continues because people can't (in poor countries) or won't get vaxxed. -
Just look at the effect they are having in countries that already have a large amount of the population vaccinated.
Oh wait I live in one of those. 85% of the population fully vaccinated in Portugal. 6 thousand new cases a day when the vaccination started and we had LOTS of restrictions. Today we barely have any restrictions and this week we had days with less than 300.
You do the math. - 417 opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
We won't know. You can still get it and spread it with all three shots. Some will still die from it. Plus there will be Covid 20 and 25, and 30. Will these work for those? It could cause other diseases later. SD or cancer. We will see later. I try not to take anything. I don't like to take antibotics.

It works for what it is intended to do. I got covid19 in 2019 and never new I had it until right at the end. I lost my sense of taste and smell which has not fully returned a year and a half later. The vaccine helps your body fight against it and therefore your body gets through it quicker. This keeps the virus from attacking your body more and more for longer and longer. Just like the flu vaccine it doesn't keep you from getting it but it does help your body fight against it.

There is no question the vaccines worked and prevented deaths. They are not perfect but the VAST majority of hospitalizations and deaths from CoViD are among the unvaccinated. You do the math.
If you are feeling sick the odds of it being related to the vaccine are very low. - 345 opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
Yes. It could have worked better if more people got it sooner, but some people wanted them to fail and so refused.
