Getting the virus shot is a gamble, I factored in the possibility that by getting the shot I would not infect anyone or become infected. That the possibility of killing this virus to save more lives & a return to more normal life was worth the risk. 2 shots zero problems.
The problem with that conclusion is it’s not accurate. There are plenty of people who got the vaccine and then got covid and some have died.
because none are 100% effective. howeverrrrrrrrr............ statistically speaking, very few actually got the disease AND most that have after vaccinated, their symptoms were milder & avoided hospitalization.
You have any evidence to support your assertions? I have a study showing that, far from helping, those who got the Pfizer vaccine were more likely to get Covid variants:
My mother sent me the link to this article that was just published today on Mercola.com. Here's their "story at a glance version": ** Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola Fact Checked April 19, 2021 STORY AT-A-GLANCE Experts have raised warnings about the problematic history of coronavirus...

ummmm... every year we get a flu shot, based on the most prevalent strain(s) going around at the time.
virus' mutate. this is a brand spanking new one & the research is still evolving. tweeks & boosters will probably become the norm until/unless a cure happens.
You're missing the point- the study found that people who took the Pfizer vaccine were 8 times more likely to get a Covid 19 variant. Which means that far from helping defend against this variant, the Pfizer vaccine was actually making things worse.
Why? How many went to the hospital, how many intubated, how many died?
None?
Do you work for big pharma?
I guess you’re cool with getting the covid after taking the jab, as long as you don’t go to hospital, get intubated, or die.
One, I think anyone would take that over going to the hospital, being intubated, then dying.
Two, are you mental? Tell us how many were infected after being vaxxed.
No. I’ll take not getting the virus altogether. I’m healthy and I supplement my immune system. Throughout this pandemic I’ve not changed my lifestyle one bit. I’ve used airlines several times and traveled several thousand miles in my motorhome visiting multiple states.
As to your question, I’ve no idea how many have infected after being vaxxed. If it’s 10% are you comfortable with that? 20%? 30%?
Do you work for big pharma?
you could be or might have been an asymptomatic carrier. you might feel just peachy - shed that covid to an unsuspecting fellow american & THEY could wind up being worm bait.
way to go!
There is no scientific evidence showing that has ever occurred. Tell me how many people have been infected, incubated, died.

Key Points
Question What proportion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread is associated with transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from persons with no symptoms?
Findings In this decision analytical model assessing multiple scenarios for the infectious period and the proportion of transmission from individuals who never have COVID-19 symptoms, transmission from asymptomatic individuals was estimated to account for more than half of all transmission.
Meaning The findings of this study suggest that the identification and isolation of persons with symptomatic COVID-19 alone will not control the ongoing spread of SARS-CoV-2.
Objective To assess the proportion of SARS-CoV-2 transmissions in the community that likely occur from persons without symptoms.
Design, Setting, and Participants This decision analytical model assessed the relative amount of transmission from presymptomatic, never symptomatic, and symptomatic individuals across a range of scenarios in which the proportion of transmission from people who never develop symptoms (ie, remain asymptomatic) and the infectious period were varied according to published best estimates.
Conclusions and Relevance In this decision analytical model of multiple scenarios of proportions of asymptomatic individuals with COVID-19 and infectious periods, transmission from asymptomatic individuals was estimated to account for more than half of all transmissions.
Results The baseline assumptions for the model were that peak infectiousness occurred at the median of symptom onset and that 30% of individuals with infection never develop symptoms and are 75% as infectious as those who do develop symptoms. Combined, these baseline assumptions imply that persons with infection who never develop symptoms may account for approximately 24% of all transmission. In this base case, 59% of all transmission came from asymptomatic transmission, comprising 35% from presymptomatic individuals and 24% from individuals who never develop symptoms. Under a broad range of values for each of these assumptions, at least 50% of new SARS-CoV-2 infections was estimated to have originated from exposure to individuals with infection but without symptoms.
Conclusions and Relevance In this decision analytical model of multiple scenarios of proportions of asymptomatic individuals with COVID-19 and infectious periods, transmission from asymptomatic individuals was estimated to account for more than half of all transmissions.
SARS-CoV-2 Transmission From People Without COVID-19 Symptoms
so there you go.
as far as knowing that one can become infected by an asymptomatic carrier - it is impossible to determine how many actually knew their infector; if that person is a stranger on a subway ... or at the grocery store. especially given the abysmal fail the trump administration lead in the way of contact tracing.
NOW, put your critical thinking cap on:
to date,
we have 32,000,000 confirmed cases of covid
& 570,000 dead.
are you trying to peddle that NONE of them thar cases, (32 million of them) were ever hospitalized or intubated due to catching it from an unknown carrier?
& none died?
