Had it, due to working in a hospital recieved double vac + booster.
First few days weren't nice and then it just kept on lingering which was more annoying than anything else.
Family got caught too: Father had a zappy nose, Mother had similar as me.
So it depends and it reacts uniquely per user.
It does a whole lot into reducing the severity of its symptoms. It never was communicated (atleast here) that Vaccines = You completely stop catching it altogether.
Chillingly dark as it sounds, i get what you are referring to. Ever since that happened, there is practically no media coverage anymore beyond the ''We are just letting it go'' style narrative.
That doesn't mean its gone, none at all. But atleast there is an attempt to change the perception: No more media coverage/It does not exist anymore.
That it works is observed daily at my work. People are running overtime because hey, we have a lot of new Covid patients again. Ain't that great.
I am rather curious how it was promoted to you then, but then you say this:
The virus reacts uniquely per-user. You honestly can't tell how you will react until you got it. See my own situation: My dad had very little symptoms, i had lingering issues outlasting the standardized time it takes to get rid of it.
All the vaccines do is reduce the severity of the effects of the virus in the case you were getting infected.
All the best to your recovery.
Its not a great explanation because it implies that vaccines do not work the way they should because some unvaccinated people get nothing and double vaccinated people get sick. There is a world of nuance inbetween that which isn't shared and henceforth i commented.
The vaccines were said to be around 95% effective in preventing covid infections. This was in Pfizers press releases as well as government material.
There is actually a video montage of Bill Gates, Faulci, Biden etc all saying "if you get the vaccine you won't get covid. You won't pass it on. The virus stops with you". For instance the CEO of Pfizer claimed their vaccine trials in South Africa were infact 100% effective in stopping people catching covid.
Even now they are claiming the vaccine is 100% effective in stopping covid infections in child age groups.
Vaccine were never about just reducing symptoms, it was about stopping infections and eradication of disease. That's why they were called "inoculations". Where are all the people positive for Polio just with perceived reduction of symptoms? Where's all the vaccinated smallpox people infected with smallpox, just with a few less pox?
If everyone vaccinated their dogs against parvo three times in eight months, and everyone's dogs still got parvo, it would be considered an ineffective vaccine.
Now you can make excuses and say that covid mutates too quickly for the vaccine to work properly sure, but that is an admission that it isn't effective. A vaccine can be ineffective not because the technology is junk, but the target isn't really suited to a vaccine. Not all virus are. That's why there is no HIV vaccination, or a vaccine against the common cold even.
Government put all their eggs in the vaccines working to stop infection and transmission, but it didn't work out. In the meantime they divided the community into Vax vs antivax, people lost their jobs for not wanting vaccines, and yet after the massive amounts of vaccines we have more cases than ever, and the vaccinated are not protected against catching the disease.
Hey, it didn't work out. Not every vaccine does.
