I thought that I had replied to your post yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared. Basically, as far as I am aware, the vaccine does not stop you contracting the virus or passing it on. What it will do is stop you becoming very poorly and requiring hospitalisation.
Actually that's probably incorrect. At first the developers of these vaccines couldn't say for sure whether being vaccinated would also mean a reduction in transmission, but they hoped they would.
But with widespread vaccinations now being rolled out, all real world data is now showing that they do indeed limit transmission / prevent you from passing it on.
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
Great news indeed for us, as that's the one my wife and I had. Hope to get the second dose at the end of April or beginning of May. If we do we may consider lowering our drawbridge and venturing out of our "castle" some time in June.
The initial findings from Israel suggest that the Pfizer vaccine is even more effective, however this has been received with caution as the results were based on the amount of positive tests falling, the experts suggest this could be skewed by the statistic that fewer test are being taken by people who have been vaccinated.
They are refining this to be a more realistic approach, no matter what the result it is all positive.
