Vaccines and Therapeutics 2.0 & 3.0 Merge

[Res Ipsa]

The Atlantic published a very good article that explains the difference between vaccines reducing infection and reducing disease. And what declining levels of antibodies in vaccinated folks really means.

Thanks for posting that, RI. I wish everyone would read it.

You’re welcome. The media made a big deal about the decline of antibody levels without ever explaining what we would normally expect antibody levels to do over time. I’m thinking that boosters before the rest of the world is vaccinated is not our best option.

Just wanted to double or triple down on the thanks to the many posters providing really useful information in this thread. I've found myself coming back and searching it several times to find information worth sharing to those outside our little corner of the internet.

Lord Jesus, I see stories like that online all the time. Did you see the one where a husband and wife contracted Covid, he was less symptomatic and could stay home, she was hospitalized. When she was released, she went home and found him dead.

I'm not sure I'll ever get over the senseless death. I wish I could say there was some dark schadenfreude but it is all just tragedy instead.

That is one of the saddest stories I have read yet about the pandemic!

I can't even imagine how horrific that would be.

It used to be sad before vaccines were widely available. Now it is sad and frustrating. Not sure who to be frustrated at most. The people I know who lack critical thinking skills and believe a lot of BS, or the people who manipulated them into the BS.
