The biggest blunder by CDC was when they said vaccine will "prevent" infection.
That is so wrong on so many counts. The 5 days or 8 days or 30 days is trivial issue in comparison.
Even the best vaccine ever invented (smallpox) which literally eradicated from earth
that deadly virus which has 30%+ mortality rate, did not prevent infection in me after vaccination. How can it?
The airborne virus can be inhaled straight into deep parts of lungs and it starts replicating quickly using lung tissue.
No vaccine has ever created a virus proof filter in the respiratory system. This is such basic common sense!
The only function of vaccine is to stock up the body with additional tools to fight virus when it invades.
That is exactly what the smallpox vaccine did in my 8 year old body, and I survived the ferocious attack by smallpox.
So...when you had your smallpox vaccine, did it require boosters every couple of months.
Did it enhance the infectious process?
Did you go around spreading smallpox everywhere you went along with the repeated smallpox infections.
Did large smallpox outbreaks happen all over the place in fully smallpox vaccinated populations?
I just do not seem to remember that happening....
Maybe the super high IQ folks in the back start to get it?
The vaccine was done in 2 places on arm and it was not a needle, they used a circular tool to break skin and the tool was dipped in vaccine. Both those tool marks grew infection like reactions.
No boosters that I can remember, but I got vaccinated was 74 years ago, so all I remember is 2 big circular infections on arm between shoulder and elbow.
I got infected 2 years later, my guess is during 8 hour train journey on a jam packed crowded train from Vadodara to Mumbai.
Because I got sick soon after arriving in Mumbai.
Every child in schools in India was vaccinated for smallpox. Nobody asked parents for permission.
You went to school, they vaccinated you.
So 100% of school children were vaccinated, but i clearly recall many of my college mates had those distinct marks on face which smallpox leaves behind. So the vaccine did nor prevent infection. I still have a few marks on face 72 years after recovery.
As for the covid vaccines, the only thing I know from personal experience (which you anti-vaccine folks do not have) is that the vaccines are big nothing burgers in creating side effects. All 7 members of my immediate family have received jabs and not a single adverse effect with anyone. I have no evidence to prove the vaccines are effective in reducing severity of covid attack.
However recent data from New Zeeland is helpful to see effect from covid vaccines.
