I'm not really talking about what it ACTUALLY does. I'm talking about what the left says.
But where do you get your information on what the "left says" about covid vaccines Cecille?
I lean left, and here is what I've learned about the vaccines...
As said above, they greatly reduce the chances of getting hospitalized or dying from covid when the vaccinated catch it.
And, they also reduce the spread of covid.
Where I think the misinterpretation may come, is in the HOW, of how the vaccines reduce spread....?
What the vaccines do not do, is prevent the vaccinated from catching covid....the vaccinated can catch covid, as easily as the unvaccinated person!
BUT what was found in their studies is that the vaccinated person who catches covid, sheds the virus in a much, much shorter time period than an unvaccinated person, and becomes non infectious in just a couple or a few days and can no longer continue to spread covid to other people.
While the unvaccinated person is infectious for weeks, able to spread the virus to many more people, and then those in the group they spread it to, spreading it to many more people if some of those infected were unvaccinated, so on and so forth.
Lastly, the more the virus spreads, the likelihood of a variant being created that will take hold and overtake the previous variant.
And the creation of new variants can be a hit or miss.... on how sick they make us....or how fast they spread....or whether the vaccines will prevent the new strain or variant from severe covid illness like they did with previous variants....
It's like playing Russian Roulette if we let the virus variants spread like wildfire. The reduction in spread, among the vaccinated reduces that spread due to the shortness of illness.... it helps us....
but it is NOT a guarantee that a new variant will not overtake the old one....like said, it simply reduces the chances of such happening by the reduction in spread.
